Poker rooms in the state of Pennsylvania raked $4.87 million from players during the month of November, according to figures from state gaming regulators. There were 225 poker tables statewide in the month.

The revenue was more than the $4.83 million raked in November 2015, according to state figures. In the 10 years since the first casino opened in the Keystone State, the poker rooms have raked about $367 million.

Parx casino led the way last month with $1.42 million in revenue from its 45 tables.

Here’s a look at Pennsylvania poker revenue by month in 2016:

January: $4,789,340
February: $5,145,025
March: $5,166,167

August: $4,939,008
September: $4,489,781

Compared to other poker markets in the region, Pennsylvania beat out New Jersey’s $4.6 million in poker revenue (live and online) in November. Maryland poker rooms raked $2.67 million in November, but revenue should grow thanks to the 39-table MGM National Harbor poker room that opened last month. In addition to live poker, Pennsylvania is looking at internet play.
