Pennsylvania’s Regulator Allows Casinos to Reduce Their Slots Count
Wild Casino

Pennsylvania’s Regulator Allows Casinos to Reduce Their Slots Count. Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course and the Hollywood casino at the Meadows will be allowed to reduce their total number of slot machines. The state's Gaming Control Board is seeking to tackle unregulated and untaxed “skill games” machines in the casinos. The proliferation of the so-called distributed gaming where various non-casino establishments get their own slot machine is a serious problem for the industry.

Hollywood Casino at PNRC will be removing 191 of its 1,927 slot machines and the Hollywood Casino in Meadows will remove 317 of 2,323. The reduction is planned in such a way as to not damage the venues' income or endanger the employees' jobs. The Hollywood casino's gross terminal revenue dropped from $275 million in 2009 to $100 million by 2020.
