HARRISBURG, PA - The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board today released on its web site revenue figures for the first month of table games play at the nine operating casinos.

The report for July 2010, available on the Board’s web site at www.pgcb.state.pa.us, represents just a partial month of revenue since implementation of table games did not occur until the middle and latter parts of the month of July.

The report on the web site reflects total gross revenue figures for each of the casinos and includes a breakdown for non-banking, banking, and electronic tables. The figures in the report and below also include revenue and taxes generated during each casino’s PGCB-monitored test period held two days prior to the official opening day for table games:

                * 14% of gross revenue
                # 2% of gross revenue

PGCB Executive Director Kevin O’Toole says the implementation of table games occurred on a schedule that allowed only a partial month of play and their first set of figures represent less than two-thirds of a full gaming month.

“We had a very aggressive and successful roll-out of table games in July that enabled the nine casinos to begin offering table games to patrons within a 10 day period,” says PGCB Executive Director Kevin O’Toole. “While the implementation of table games created a significant patron traffic increase in July, it is too early to draw any conclusions on these numbers or the effect of table games on slot machine gaming.”
