Mount Airy Shows Strong Slot Machine Revenue

The Mount Airy Casino says that nothing was really out of the ordinary last week, except for the fact that they had an 18% increase in their slot machine revenues. They say that it was a regular week for the slot machines at the casino, but they had an increase in revenues anyway.
 
This was the case for slot machines around the state. Pennsylvania reported that even though this is a traditionally slow month for slot machines, they did very well in terms of monies in. At first glance it looks as though there were many more clients coming to play the slot machines, but instead it looks as though it may simply be a case of those that came were there to spend more money than usual.
 
The Sands Bethlehem says that their slot machine revenues for the month were up 5% to $160 million and they could not have been more pleased. Across the board, slot machine revenues were up 14%, but those casinos that were open last year saw the smallest amount of increase. Those casinos that were running slot machines just this year saw the biggest increase in their revenues – most likely from those clients who are just now getting a chance to come check them out – while the regulars went on vacation elsewhere.
 
Casinos say that in addition to an increase in slot machine revenues, they also saw an increase in the number of rooms booked. This would also stand to solidify the idea that most of the people coming to the casinos were out of towners – which would account for the larger sums of money being spent. Tourists usually spend more money at the slot machines than those that have access to them year round.
