The Gaming Control Board Wednesday reported total revenue generated through the play of slot machines at Pennsylvania casinos during February was down 7.54 percent compared to the amount generated a year ago.
According to the report, this February's gross revenue at the twelve operating casinos from slot machine play was $181,178,730 compared to $195,945,210 of gross revenue in February 2013. Tax revenue generated in February of this year just from slot machine play was $96,921,946.
The Board noted that gross revenue from slot machine gaming was likely impacted by continued snow and cold weather throughout Pennsylvania in February.
In a comparison of just the eleven casinos operating in February 2014 that were also open for the full month of February 2013, revenue was 8.4 percent lower this year.
