“With our casino in Pennsylvania, the possibilities are endless,” is one slogan the Valley Forge Casino and Resort tweets to patrons, and recent figures from the state show the casino is netting a consistent stream of cash.
Revenue from table games at Pennsylvania’s casinos rose 1 percent during March, producing the highest level of revenue, $67.9 million, since the introduction of this form of gambling in July 2010, according to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.
Revenues at Valley Force Casino Resort, located at 1160 First Ave. in King of Prussia, were $3,512,504 last March, and up slightly to $3,294,515 in March 2014.
The lavish casino offers dining venues, live entertainment including performances by Jerry Blavat and Psychic Tuesdays, night life, and hosts weddings, special occasions and corporate meetings.
Just miles from where George Washington’s patriot soldiers nearly froze to death at Valley Forge, the casino resort sports a fully equipped business center for business lunch fun, an outdoor pool, a newly renovated fitness center, health spa, and a good choice of onsite restaurants and lounges.
And for those for whom the gambling temptation might prove to be too challenging, the casino does ask in very small fine print on its web site, “Gambling Problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.”
Statewide, table games revenue totaled $67,934,737 in March 2014, eclipsing the previous high month during March of last year at $67,383,247. The full monthly report, posted on the board’s web site, www.gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov, also shows that $9,830,852 million in tax revenue was generated from table games this March.
Due to a decrease in slot machine revenue of 5.7 percent in March, combined revenue from the play of slot machines and tables games during March was $284,148,717 a decrease of 4.2 percent over last March’s total of $296,718,618.
