Slot Machines Bring in Millions

According to the recent numbers regarding the popularity of slot machines, even with a recession in play people are still playing. With these numbers in mind, several racetrack locations in New England are wondering what their chances are of scoring a few millions for themselves by adding in their own slot machines. Based on the numbers given, it is possible for the slot machines to bring in more than $150 million a year, an amount that could be put to a lot of use.

However, what is interesting to note is the average income of those in the area of the slot machines and how it pertains to the revenues brought in. In Connecticut, the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods brought in millions and are easily the largest casinos in the world, and their average household income last year for their residents was $82,851.

This is considerably larger than those at the Hinsdale Dog Track, which is now closed, where they only made $59,950. It only makes sense that if they are surrounded by money, they will make money.

But now Rockingham Park in Salem is looking to bring in 3,000 slot machines and is using the $150 million as their benchmark. A consultant that has been hired by the developers says that there is a possibility of large increases in income from the area, and add to that the fact that Salem has a larger household income and you truly do have a recipe for success.
