(1) “Slot Handle” is defined as the total amount wagered by patrons on slot machines, including free promotional slot play, which approximates amounts reported on the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board website as “Wagers.”

(2) “Gross Slot Win,” sometimes referred to as gross slot revenues, is defined as amounts wagered less prizes paid out, which approximates amounts reported on the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board website as “Gross Terminal Revenue,” or “Wagers” less “Payouts” and miscellaneous revenue adjustments.

(3) “Gross Slot Hold Percentage” is defined as the percentage of slot handle that is held by slot machines. Gross slot hold percentage is derived by dividing gross slot win by slot handle.
