Gambling is growing dramatically in Pennsylvania, according to the latest report.
Casino revenues in the state grew by 48 percent last year, according to the American Gaming Association.
There are a number of reasons for the revenue growth in Pennsylvania.
The Meadows Park opened a new casino last month, and revenues there have jumped 50 percent, making the site the ninth overall in the nation.
Pennsylvania casinos took in $766 million last year, trailing only Nevada and Indiana in sales revenue.
Look for even more growth in the Granite State, as the city of Philadelphia is moving forward with plans for a new, downtown casino, and Gov. Ed Rendell, who is leaving office soon, looks to leave a legacy by increasing economic growth, and expanding casinos.
