April slots revenue grows

Pennsylvania's 10 casinos collected $211.3 million in revenue last month, up more than 8 percent over the same month last year, the state gaming Control Board said.

The state received $115.4 million in tax revenue from slots last month, the board said.

The nine casinos that were open in April 2010 produced $196.8 million in revenue last month, compared with $195.3 million during the same month last year.

Dauphin County's Hollywood Casino at Penn National Racecourse saw a small loss in April comparative slots revenue. Hollywood collected $22.4 million in revenue last month, down from $22.5 million it generated during April 2010, the board said.

Table game revenue is separately reported.
