Pennsylvania sees higher revenues after approving mini casinos

(United States).- In their final week of annual budget hearings, Pennsylvania state lawmakers are trying to evaluate how last year’s sweeping gambling overhaul — designed to balance a shaky revenue plan — is affecting state finances.
The introduction of a new class of mini-casinos and remote video gaming terminals is the biggest expansion Pennsylvania’s gambling industry has seen since it was legalized well over a decade ago.
The Gaming Control Board said so far, the changes are paying off more or less as expected — with $200 million slated to come in this fiscal year, and $100 million next year.
The legislature is banking on gambling revenue continuing at that level.
But Senate GOP Appropriations Chair Pat Browne noted, some lawmakers are concerned it won’t last.
“One of the questions going forward is, all of these different venues, is it sustainable over time?” he asked the board.
