Following a really bad month, The Meadows Casino turned the tables on table games.

The Meadows collected $3,599,474 in gross revenue in November, an 11.1 percent increase from $3,239,834 in November 2017. This followed three consecutive monthly declines in 2018, including an 18.67 percent drop in October.

Collectively, the state’s 12 casinos experienced a 1.31 percent dip last month, according to figures released by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

Only six casinos posted gains from November 2017. Rivers Casino, on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, enjoyed a 15.4 percent revenue rise ($6,566,239 from $5,690,081).
