Inflation can impact a casino in many ways, from the cost of manufacturing and delivering slot machines to the food sold in the food court. How much have distributors passed these rising costs down to Pennsylvania casinos, and how is it impacting casino customers?

Justin Moore, General Manager for Rivers Casino Philadelphia, said distributors have passed many of their rising costs on to the gaming facility.

“Supply chain disruptions have equated to rising costs on individual items, parts for repairs, and backlogs in production due to labor shortages,” said Moore… “We’ve experienced occasional delays in the arrival of new slot machines.”

Moore said due to increased food prices they continue to update menu selections and pricing based on the daily fluctuation in meats and dairy product costs.
