Pennsylvania Casino Feeling The Effects of Turbulent Economy

The economy in America is enough to make even the most patient of people pull their hair out in disgust. The current administration has run the economy into the ground, and apparently nobody is exempt.

Casinos around the country are starting to feel the effects of an American economy that has slipped to the edge of a recession. Without extra entertainment money, casinos will further be hurt by the economy.

Presque Isle Downs and Casino has begun to cut hours for their employees until business picks up. Almost two hundred of the casinos eight hundred employees are watching as their working hours are sliced.

Full time employees are now going down to four days and part time employees that were working around twenty five hours are now down to around fifteen and sixteen.

The casino says that the hour cuts will stay in place until business picks up back to normal. Last month, $26.8 million was bet at the casino. The week before that almost $34 million was wagered. A good sign that things are rebounding from the slow winter months.
