Pennsylvania slot machine revenue grows 1% in December

The Board’s report posted Wednesday on their website shows the monthly gross revenue and percentage change for each of Pennsylvania’s casinos, Valley Forge Casino Resort being the casino with the highest increase in its gross revenue, by 8.64%. The total statewide increase was 1.22%

The average combined number of slot machines operating daily was 25,849 in December of 2017 compared to 26,074 in December of 2016.

The Board is also reporting that slot machine revenue for calendar year 2017 was $2,336,212,902, the seventh consecutive year in which calendar year revenue has topped USD 2.3 B. That amount was approximately 1% less than slot machine revenue in calendar year 2016.

Tax revenue generated from slot machine gaming in 2017 was $1,188,689,755* with a significant portion of the revenue used for property tax reduction to all Pennsylvania homeowners, strengthening the Commonwealth's horse racing industry, and funding economic development projects.

The report also shows the gross slot machine revenue produced at each casino during 2017 compared to 2016, including percentage change. The total statewide increase was 1.02%

Final 2017 calendar year figures for all casino gaming will be available later this month when the Board receives and posts its December table games revenue report on its website.
