Huntington, WV (HNN) – Revenues recorded from lottery devices in Cabell County during the March 1-March 31, 2010 time frame have recorded a steep drop, based on data provided by the W.Va.

During March nearly $22.5 million dollars was “played” in the county’s machines with a revenue of $1,927,017.44. In March 2009, nearly $28 million dollars were “Played” and revenues were nearly $2.4 million dollars. The preceding year, March 2008, recorded nearly $27 million dollars “played” and revenue of just over $2.1 million dollars.
Checking the “played” figures for Wayne County in 2010 and 2009, their revenue decreased in 2010 from 2009. $9.9 million dollsrs was “played” in 2010 with revenue of $825,751; 2009 saw nearly $11 million dollars “played” and $942,143 in revenue.
Putnam County had $7.89 million dollars played in 2010 and revenues of $722,741. In 2009, the “played” amount was $735 million dollars and revenues of $611,734. 2008 Putnam played amount was $6.541 million dollars and $578,669 in revenue.
By comparison, Kanawha County --- which also has a smoking ban but also has the racetrack and casino --- $37 million dollars were “played” with revenue of $3,045 million dollars.
