Erie Casino Brings in Big Bucks 

It is not unusual for players to spend millions of dollars at a casino over the course of a month or a year playing the slot machines. After all, the games are the biggest money makers that the casinos have – that is why there are so many of them out there on the gaming floor. The slot machines are the number one draw and even though it appears as though they are simple to play, there is a lot of time and effort that goes into them making them much more of a money maker than anyone would have thought.  

But the folks over at Presque Isle Downs and Casino have been watching their fair share of slot machine revenue come in since they opened, but they are looking at very high numbers these days as players take to the games. They are more than pleased to announce that for the week of September 19^th through September 25^th that the casino brought in $14.5 million being wagered. The players will get back $37.4 million according to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.  

There was also some promotional plays that were used to draw in the clients and once they were subtracted there was $3.2 million to be split between the casino and the state. The casino took $1.5 million and the state took slightly more at $1.7 million. This was an increase over same time last year when gamblers wagered $38.5 million at the casinos instead.
