PHILADELPHIA (AP) - State gambling regulators say the total gross revenue from play at slot machines and table games at the state's 11 casinos rose 4.4% in 2012.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board says casinos brought in total gaming revenue of more than $3.1 billion last year. That includes $687.4 million in gross revenue from table games and the nearly $2.5 billion in gross revenue from slot machines.

The revenue from table games marks an increase of 11% over 2011. The gaming board says gross revenue from slots and table games produced more than $1.4 billion in tax revenue last year.

Gambling was approved in Pennsylvania in 2004 and the state's first casino opened two years later. The state legalized table games in 2010.
