ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Jan. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Casinos and racetracks from Maine to Florida generated $8.1 billion in slot machine revenue in 2006, an increase of 7.1 percent over the previous year, according to the Gaming Industry Observer's East Coast Slot Report. The report, which tracks vital slot statistics on a monthly basis, includes the results of the 36 publicly reporting gaming facilities in the East. It does not include revenue from the 12 Native American casinos in Florida, New York and North Carolina, whose monthly gaming statistics are not publicly disclosed."The rise in East Coast slot revenue is attributable to the start of racetrack gaming in Florida and Pennsylvania, the expansion of racetrack gaming in New York, an increase in the slot-machine cap in Delaware, and healthy increases in the long-established markets of Connecticut, New Jersey and West Virginia," said Joseph Weinert, Editor of the Gaming Industry Observer.
