OpinionJournal’s Best of the Web reports:
The Associated Press reports that “the snowy weather has taken a bit of a toll” on Connecticut’s two casinos:
Officials with Foxwoods Resort Casino said that the casino cleared $67 million from its slot machine customers in February while Mohegan Sun cleared $68 million.
The slot revenues at both were down compared with last year.
In February 2004, Mohegan Sun reported slot machine revenues of nearly $69 million while Foxwoods reported revenue of $68.5 million.
That means revenues were down 2.2% at Foxwoods and 1.4% at Mohegan in February 2005 as compared with February 2004. But given that February 2005 was 3.4% shorter than February 2004, attributing this to the weather makes no sense.
Given that I myself was born bissextile, I find this especially amusing.
