The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board<\/strong> (PGCB) released its July slots revenue<\/a> totals, noting that the state\u2019s 12 casinos saw a 2.6 percent drop<\/strong> over the same time in 2017.<\/p>\n

The drop is by no means a drastic one, as PGCB Communications Director Doug Harbach<\/strong>\u00a0told PlayPennsylvania that increases and decreases of 2-3 percent are within the normal range of variation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Parx<\/strong><\/a> was once again the top slots revenue earner, pulling in more than $34.7 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Valley Forge<\/strong><\/a> leads the way in revenue gains<\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t the case this month, as two of the top three properties failed<\/strong> to increase revenue by more than 0.77 percent.<\/p>\n

Valley Forge posted the most positive numbers, logging 4.91 percent growth<\/strong>. Here is a list of the other casinos who saw gains:<\/p>\n
