    Pennsylvania Kicks A.C. Off As #2 Gambling Market In US After Vegas

    Pennsylvania has overtaken Atlantic City as the No. 2 U.S. gaming market after Las Vegas.

    In 2012, Pennsylvania took in $3.16 billion from both slots and table-games revenue, according to figures released Wednesday by the state Gaming Control Board. Last week, the Shore resort reported $3.05 billion in casino revenue for 2012.

    Yeah but you're talking about large casinos near many large population centers throughout the state. There's also synergy between AC and some of the Eastern PA Casinos.

    I only go to Parx, besides for AC. Parx sucks, and it's the only casino around, so i still prefer to go to AC. Drinking,gambling,clubbing, shows all in one unified place. Pa has a race track and poker that's it, at least at Parx casino.

    PA is ROLLIN!

    There was a time not too long ago this state didn't have gambling. Now it's #2 behind only Vegas.

    Only a matter of time until Vegas becomes #2 and PA #1 now.

    Yeah it is and it's the main reason why I think Vegas is eventually doomed. Because casinos are going to start popping up locally in every state eventually, and there will simply be no need for people to go to a fukking desert to gamble in the manner they want to.

    For example, what California decided to put a casino in San Diego? Who the fukk would leave San Diego to go to Vegas?

    Nobody.

    You're going to see stuff like that pop up everywhere and then Vegas will be a memory.

    Damn, I didn't know!

    Fukk, I'd rather take a trip out to SD than Vegas.

    You watch, this spells the end of Vegas eventually. Everybody is going to have their own local casino.

    atlantic city is one of the biggest dumps i ever saw in my entire life. ive been there once and could care less about going back, even though borgata puts on some decent series throughout the year for poker. i would never go there to play blackjack or roulette.

    See, maybe because I always went to AC, I have affection for it. The one thing it does have is atmosphere you can't get anywhere else. The city itself is an absolute mess, mostly thanks to the darkies.

    But if you're staying at a casino you really don't have to worry about that. Even in Philly, the casinos here simply can't match the atmosphere AC has. The smell of the salt water, the bay breeze, the boardwalk, etc. etc.

    That being said, it's been a while since I've been to AC since Philly opened it's own casinos. That's how I know Vegas is eventually doomed. Because I see it happening with AC.

    the pennsylvania casinos have no real atmosphere like philly said.

    you pretty much have slot machines tables and a poker room and some places have horses.

    so right now, vegas has that over them, and they have sports betting and weather in the winter months.

    You don't have a fukking clue.

    You think those San Diego casinos haven't already impacted Vegas?

    You think local casinos popping up everywhere in every state won't impact Vegas?

    Get a clue moron.

    Vegas' business is already suffering and we haven't even scratched the surface yet.

    Wait until the lawsuit the state of New Jersey has about sports gambling comes through and Vegas will be looking down the barrel of a shotgun.

    I love how clueless fukks like you always make comments without having a clue.

    people will still go to vegas because of big boxing matches, the world series of poker, the casino shows, things of that nature.

    the weekend type gambling trips are what gets killed by states building casinos, ill be interested to see what ohio makes in 2013, and especially 2014 after cincinnati has been open a full year.

    Yes the shows and restaurants are big draws along with conventions they draw. The 24/7 drinking doesn't hurt

    Yeah but not local casinos that allow sports gambling. That's a lawsuit the state of New Jersey has filed. If it comes through, Vegas isn't the only game in town anymore.
