Pennsylvania casinos set new revenue record in 2015, snap two-year losing streak

Pennsylvania casinos reported record revenue in 2015, reversing a two-year streak of annual declines.

According to figures released by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, total revenue at the state’s 12 casinos in 2015 came to $3.173b, a 3.41% improvement over 2014’s figure.

The total surpassed the state’s previous annual revenue mark of just under $3.16b in 2012 and marked the fifth straight year in which the state’s annual casino haul topped the $3b mark. The state also snapped a two-year losing streak that was entirely driven by falling slots revenue.

Total slots revenue in 2015 rose 2% to $2.365b, although this was less than the sums slots brought in the three years spanning 2011 and 2013. Table game revenue was up 7.8% to $808m, a new record and nearly quadruple the sum earned in 2010, when the state first authorized table play at its casinos.
