Table Game Revenues Leap Out of Gate at Local Casinos

So far, so good is the word from local casinos following the launch of table games over the weekend at two suburban Philadelphia casinos.

KYW's Tony Romeo reports that table games are now up and running at all nine of Pennsylvania's operating casinos.

The launch of table games  this past weekend at casinos in southeastern Pennsylvania completes a statewide rollout that began earlier this month.  A state Gaming Control Board spokesman says things have gone very well.

At Parx casino in Bensalem (Bucks County), vice-president for marketing Darlene Monzo said Sunday's first day of table games exceeded expectations -- and that was still case at midday Monday:

"It's busier than any typical Monday anywhere else -– much busier than the tables you would probably see in Atlantic City or Vegas on a Monday morning.  But we do have seats available and people are enjoying the action."

Meanwhile, Sugarhouse casino is expected to take delivery on Tuesday morning of its first slots machines, in expectation of its September opening.
