Wind Creek in Alabama wants to reduce the number of permanent slots machines based on lower utilization. The tribe claims it will have minimal impact on revenue. The state is an indirect partner in the industry. Harrah’s Philadelphia, Mount Airy Casino Resort, Hollywood Casino at Penn National, and Hollywood at The Meadows have removed or are currently removing 1,201 one-armed bandits.
Wind Creek Bethlehem wants to expand its live poker room. The casino has applied for approval to move its poker rooms into a larger space at the former Burgers and More. The pokerroom will expand from 14 to 20 tables and include a satellite cage. PGCB’s year-end revenue report says the 26,000 slot machines in operation at Pennsylvania”s 16 casinos netted $2.29 billion.
