Here's an excerpt from reporting here in Pennsylvania. Can anyone help me understand what's going on. Is it limited to PA or is this a broader issue. Anyone?
It was a very bad year for Pennsylvania poker. Even the debut of revamped poker rooms at Parx and Sands failed to have a positive impact. Revenue was up about a percentage point in 2017.
The contraction for poker accounted for about 30% of the state’s table game decline in 2018.
It wouldn’t be shocking if a brick-and-mortar poker room closes in the near future, with Presque Isle Downs Casino (seven tables) and Mohegan Sun Pocono(18 tables) likely being the most vulnerable given their relatively small sizes and that fact that neither filed for an online poker permit, unlike the other casinos.
