Pennsylvania Gaming Revenue Climbs To $557.7m In July, iGaming Surges 30.9%

Pennsylvania's gambling industry continued its record-setting momentum in July, reporting total revenues that reached $557.7 million, according to numbers released from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB).

This is an increase of 11.4% from July 2024, further establishing Pennsylvania as one of the most significant regulated gaming markets in the US.

The real winner was iGaming, which generated $228.2m in adjusted gross revenue (AGR), up a whopping 30.9% year over year.

It was also the second-best monthly total in the history of online gaming in Pennsylvania, trailing only March’s $238.2m AGR.

Hollywood Casino Tops Charts

Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course was July's biggest winner, reporting a total revenue of $103.4m—the highest of any operator in the state.

This revenue included $87.8m in online gaming, a 37.2% jump compared to last year.

Hollywood Casino’s online presence, using platforms like DraftKings, BetMGM, and Fanatics for gaming, entertainment, and sportsbook wagering, has largely contributed to Pennsylvania’s surge in iGaming play.

The strong results reflect a more profound change in consumer habits; instead of going to physical casinos, more players are playing on some of the best online casinos.

Valley Forge Casino Resort, home to FanDuel Casino and Stardust Casino, ranked closely behind, with total revenues of $88.8M, $77M of which came from iGaming. Rivers Casino Philadelphia also had good returns, totaling $57.5M, including online revenues of $37.8M.

Mixed Results For Slots And Table Games

Although online play continues to exert an increasing influence on the gambling landscape, slot machines continue to be a staple of the state’s gambling scene.

The category reported $208.5m in revenue, an increase of 2.1% from last July. Parx Casino made $30.9m to lead the category, and Wind Creek Bethlehem fell 3.8% to $23m.

Revenue coming from table games told a different tale, falling 4% year-over-year to $76.2m.

That downturn was a sign of more general issues with managing the competitive edge of brick-and-mortar table play as an increasing number of players went digital.

Sports Betting Sees Slight Dip

Once the headline growth driver of U.S. gaming markets, Pennsylvania sports wagering experienced a slight slowdown.

The vertical earned $40.6M, down 0.5% from last year, on a monthly handle of $412.5M.

Valley Forge led the sportsbook category with $15.5m in revenue from $140.9m in wagers, followed by Hollywood Casino at the Meadows, which pulled in $11.3M from $112.3M in bets.

Online Gaming Takes Lead

Recent data reveals a large shift in the gambling market in Pennsylvania, with reports indicating online gaming is growing rapidly.

iGaming revenue for the fiscal year ending June 2025 hit a record $2.48 billion, compared to $2.44 billion from slot machines.

With July's solid numbers, Pennsylvania appears to be heading in the right direction, with future growth resulting from digital gameplay.

The clear message for regulators and operators is the increasing relevance of online play—the future of gaming in the Keystone State.
