Analysts Think PA Approval Good Move 

With Pennsylvania now offering table games in addition to their slot machines, analysts say that this was a really smart move on the part of the state. They say that investors are going to be more interested in these companies that are offering the games and the slot machines as it makes the state more of a gaming destination instead of just a place to play slot machines. 

Obviously the loser in this is Atlantic City, who even after all of the states were adding slot machines still had table games to bring people in. Now they don’t have anything that the PA casinos don’t have except for a boardwalk and a beach. The state is bound to lose the majority of their PA customers and is probably going to lose many of their New York customers as well. PA will have one casino an hour outside of Manhattan, making it much more feasible than driving down to AC. 

The new bill is very favorable to the casinos as well. The state will make a lot of money off of the licensing fees as well as the revenues from the games. This goes on top of the revenue they are already getting for their slot machines – making them probably one of the most lucrative deals that the state could have made. 

Analysts say that by offering such a large variety of games across the board as well as how many can be offered is a nice way to play it. It keeps those larger casinos with the more slot machines still larger – while giving the smaller casinos their crack at table games as well.
