Pennsylvania hit the jackpot with online gambling.

The state’s casinos brought in record-breaking revenue, and gambling tax collections surpassed all prior years, too.

The state’s tax revenue from casino-run gambling hit almost $2.8 billion in 2024-25, up from $2.54 billion the previous year, the Gaming Control Board reported Friday. The total comes from the 12-month period ending June 30.

Those figures don’t include Lottery-run games. The Gaming Control Board oversees casino gambling, online gambling on casino-run sites, sports betting and gambling at truck stops and similar locations with video game terminals.

Total gambling revenue has doubled in less than a decade with much of that growth tied to online gambling websites operated by the state’s casinos.

The casinos reported almost $6.4 billion in revenue in 2024-25. That’s $500 million more than the revenue the casinos collected in 2023-24, in what had been the prior best year for gambling revenue.

And for the first time, iGaming contributed more revenue than any other form of gambling, surpassing in-person slots as the most popular gambling option. Online gambling was launched in Pennsylvania in 2019-2020.

In 2024-25, gamblers wagered $2.48 billion in online games — up from $1.95 billion in the prior year.

Online gambling contributed $1 billion in tax revenue to the state.

Slots revenue

In-person slots revenue was essentially flat. The casinos reported getting $2.44 billion, just $2 million more in slots revenue than they generated the prior year.

Table games revenue peaked at just over $1 billion in 2021-22 and has fallen each year since then.

Slots revenue dropped at eight of the 17 casinos. Slots revenue at the state’s biggest casino, Parx in Philadelphia, was up just 0.2%. The next three biggest casinos all reported slots revenue decreases.

Tax revenue from slots play generated $1.3 billion.

Table games

Table game revenue was down at 11 of the 17 casinos, including at all five of the largest casinos.

Overall table game revenue of $928 million was down 3% from the previous year.

Table games generated $155 million in tax revenue.

Sports wagering

The amount bet on sporting events increased $552 million, but the casinos’ revenue dropped slightly. Sports wagering tax is based on the casinos’ revenue, so when the bettors win, the state loses.

Blame the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, but sports wagering generated $175 million in state tax last year, essentially the same amount as the prior year.
