gambling income in Pennsylvania increases by 15.4% compared to the previous year
Pennsylvania's gaming industry has experienced a significant boost in revenue, with a combined total of $6.4 billion for the 2024/2025 fiscal year, marking an 8.5% rise over the previous year[1][2][3][4]. This growth is largely attributed to the surge in iGaming and sports betting revenues.
In June 2025 alone, iGaming revenue reached a record high of $212.6 million, a 32.3% increase compared to June 2024[3]. Sports wagering revenue also saw impressive growth, with a 71.4% year-over-year increase, amounting to $51.2 million based on a handle of $483.6 million[3].
Leading the charge in this growth are several key operators. Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course topped the list with $96.4 million in overall revenue for June 2025, representing a 30% year-over-year increase[2][3]. The property also led the iGaming sector with $81 million in revenue for the fiscal year, up 35.4% year-over-year[2].
Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia also made a significant impact, posting a revenue of $93.8 million in June 2025, a 46.3% increase compared to the same month last year[3]. The resort's igaming revenue reached $59.3 million, up 56.5% year-over-year, and contributed $23.1 million from sports wagering[3].
Rivers Casino Philadelphia and Parx Casino also saw impressive growth, with both exceeding $50 million in revenue for June 2025. Rivers Casino Philadelphia posted $53.4 million, a 12.3% increase over the $47.6 million generated in June 2024[3]. Parx Casino, on the other hand, generated $52.5 million, a 4.4% increase compared to the $50.3 million accumulated in June 2024[3].
Parx Casino held the highest slot revenue among operators, generating $30.9 million, a slight decrease of 0.7% compared to June 2024[4]. Rivers Casino Philadelphia, meanwhile, reported $35.1 million in igaming revenue, up 14.8% year-over-year[4].
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported a revenue increase of 15.4% in gaming and fantasy contests for June, totaling $544.7 million[4]. Other operators, such as Wind Creek Bethlehem and Hollywood Casino Morgantown, also contributed to the overall growth of the industry.
Pennsylvania's regulatory framework allows multiple major brands like FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM to operate online under single licenses partnered with land-based casinos, enabling strong digital growth and market expansion[2]. This move has undoubtedly played a crucial role in the state's gaming industry success.
