The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) reports that monthly revenue in June this year was $544.7 million. This was an increase of 15.4% from June 2024 across the land-based, online, and fantasy gaming sectors. Casinos and sports betting operators paid nearly $229.8m in total tax revenue. These gambling taxes support an array of initiatives, including local economic development.
The June figures follow a historic May 2025 in which monthly revenue in Pennsylvania reached over $600 million for the first time. A slight dip in June reflects a slowdown that’s typically seasonal. This didn’t affect online gambling, which has become increasingly important to the state’s revenue base.
Which casinos generated the most revenue in June?
Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course generated the most revenue for the period. It generated over $96 million, which was a 30% increase from June 2024. Valley Forge Casino was the second-highest grossing property and generated $93.5 million, which was up over 46% from June 2024.
Rivers Casino exceeded the $50 million threshold in June, generating $53.4 million. Parx Casino also went above $50 million, generating just over $52.5 million. It also operates the online casino betPARX.com in the state, which is very popular and allows players to access casino games on their mobile devices and play for real money.
Retail and online slots and table games
Retail slots generated the most revenue at $199.3 million. This was a slight decrease from June 2024. Online slots accounted for over $162 million of total gaming revenue in Pennsylvania. This was an increase of almost 36% year-over-year.
Retail table game revenue also increased by 1.6% year-over-year for a total of over $77 million. Online table games brought in revenue of $47.6m for June this year, increasing by just over 22% year-over-year.
The above results reveal a slight slowdown in land-based slot game engagement, although retail table games still saw slight growth.
Online poker rake was up 23% in June to more than $2.7 million. It keeps making headway since Governor Josh Shapiro signed the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) in April. This allows online poker players in Pennsylvania to sit at the same online tables as those in various other US states.
Sports betting continues upward trend
Sports betting showed significant gains and recorded $51.2 million in revenue – up 71.4% from 2023. Sports bettors wagered $483.6 million in June 2025, and 49.2% of sports betting revenue came from online betting. Forge Valley Casino led in the sports betting category with just over $23 million in revenue on a $164 million handle. This was followed by Hollywood Casino at the Meadows with $14.2 million in revenue on a $132 million handle.
With the social media reach of athletes and sports influencers, fans are more interested than ever in betting on their favorite athletes and teams. They also have more access to statistics and knowledge that helps them to make more informed decisions when placing sports bets.
A potentially record-setting full year
Pennsylvania is on track for a potentially record-setting full year when taking the performance for the first half of 2025 into account. The expanding digital infrastructure and strong performance by operators are contributing factors. Tourism in Pennsylvania is flourishing, and this is also contributing to growth.
The accessibility and versatility of online gambling make it a major draw. It continues to break revenue records due to high consumer engagement. In 2024, it saw the most growth in the sector, and online slots, table games, and poker games all did well. This trend has continued in the first half of 2025 and shows no signs of slowing down.
