The nine slots parlors in Pennsylvania generated a combined $166.29 million in gross revenues last month, almost 27 percent more than the comparable period a year ago, when seven casinos were operating.

The numbers, which were released today by the state's Gaming Control Board, showed that the state's take on that, in taxes, was $91.5 million.

And for the first five months of Pennsylvania's fiscal year, taxes increased 25 percent (to $4.85 million) over last year's comparable period ($3.88 million).

When comparing just the seven casinos that were open during both Novembers, gross revenue was up 1.02 percent ($132.55 million over $131.22).
