    PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Gambling regulators say gross revenue from table games at Pennsylvania's 11 casinos was up 8.9 percent last month when compared to April 2012.

IMPERIAL, Pa. (AP) - The Allegheny County Airport Authority will negotiate with Consol Energy for rights to drill for natural gas and oil at Pittsburgh International Airport even though a competitor's bid appeared to be twice as large.

The authority last week said EQT Corp. bid roughly $44 million while Consol bid $20.8 million - but also included a $2.1 million check as a deposit. Both bids also include ongoing 18% royalties once drilling begins.

Executive director Bradley Penrod said the authority board approved Consol's bid as the "best value" after a "very, very careful review" at a meeting Friday. But Penrod wouldn't say at the meeting if the lack of a deposit hurt EQT's bid or what other factors made Consol's bid better.

Authority spokeswoman JoAnn Jenny referred messages requesting an additional explanation to Penrod, who did not immediately respond.
