Hollywood Gaming reports steady revenue

AUSTINTOWN

Revenue stayed steady at Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course after its first full month of added machines to the facility’s gaming floor.

The racino added machines by removing part of a fake wall built for expansion before September began. The gaming floor was expected to reach 941 machines and the racino averaged 939 video lottery machines in September, which is up from 870 in August.

Hollywood Gaming opened with 850 VLTs and had consistently had 866 machines for several months, according to monthly financial reports.

For the month of September, Hollywood Gaming had $77,940,015 in credits played, $69,405,188 credits won and a net win, or revenue after payouts to patrons, of $7,965,031. That revenue was distributed with $5,270,262 staying with Hollywood Gaming while the Ohio Lottery Commission received $2,668,285 and then $26,484 to problem gambling services.

All of those financials were higher than in August, when the facility reported having 870 machines on its gaming floor.
