HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania’s regulated gaming industry generated a record $7,005,987,435 in the fiscal year that ended June 30, the first time state gaming revenue has topped $7 billion, powered almost entirely by online casino play and sports betting.
Online Carries The Entire Increase
The $611.3 million year-over-year gain came almost wholly from the internet. iGaming rose 18.42% to $2,933,453,989, and sports wagering rose 35.95% to $662,947,631, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported. Together those two online categories added roughly $631 million over the prior year, more than the entire industry’s net growth.
At $2.93 billion, online casino revenue exceeds the $2.44 billion the state collected from physical slot machines, making iGaming Pennsylvania’s single largest source of gaming revenue. The state’s revenue tracker shows the same tilt toward mobile play across recent reporting periods.
The Casino Floor Stalled
The land-based core did not share in the gains. Slot machine revenue was effectively flat at $2,440,995,939, a 0.02% increase, and table games fell 2.15% to $908,941,135. Video gaming terminals edged up 0.55% to $41,622,548, while fantasy contests declined 5.79% to $18,026,193.
That split left online products as the only meaningful engine of growth, a pattern that continues to reshape where Pennsylvania sportsbooks and casino operators earn.
June Breaks The Streak
The fiscal year closed on a softer note. Combined June revenue across all games, including fantasy contests, was $535,268,188, down 1.73% from June 2025. The monthly dip, driven by retail table games and sports betting, marked a rare year-over-year decline even as the annual total set a record.
The record tax haul of $3,098,193,583 included $110 million in slot machine license operation fees that fund local share accounts. Pennsylvania keeps some of the highest gaming tax rates in the country, so its revenue converts to more public money than larger-handle states, and the state remains one of the biggest markets for online sports betting in the nation. The board issues its next monthly revenue report in mid-August.
