The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has published the total gaming revenue figures for the Keystone State in 2025, with online casinos giving the State a significant boost.
In the report, a 27% increase in iGaming revenue - generating $2.8bn across the year - helped to drive the total revenue across sports betting, casino, fantasy sports and iGaming to $6.8bn – a 10% increase over 2024 and a record year for the state.
It also means that iGaming is closing the gap on traditional gambling. Just $582m separates the two metrics, which is down from $1.2bn in 2024 and $2bn in 2022.
Sports betting also played its part, posting an annual revenue increase of 18%, although $602.5m, it only makes up a relatively small portion of the overall total.
Pennsylvania iGaming
iGaming in Pennsylvania finished strong. In November, online operators set a new record of $623.1m of revenue. While they couldn't quite match this in December, revenue was still $616.7m, up nearly 16% over 2024 and the second-highest monthly figure for the state.
For the year, iGaming revenue was $2.8bn, up 27% from $2.2bn in 2024. Some of that growth can be attributed to PENN's new standalone casino app and the launch of Monopoly Casino in July.
According to Pennsylvania state law, an online casino must be tied to an existing brick-and-mortar casino. Of the state's existing 17 retail casinos, 12 have online venues.
PENN's new standalone app, Hollywood Casino at Penn National, is another to benefit from the new player bounce, and had the highest revenue in 2025, generating just over $1bn – an increase of 29%.
However, it was Presque Isle Downs and Casino that saw the greatest revenue gain, up 447% to $39m.
Meanwhile, Live! Philadelphia, Bally's Pennsylvania, Mount Airy Casino Resort, and Wind Creek Bethlehem were the only apps to experience declines.

In retail casinos, slot machines unsurprisingly ruled the roost, generating $2.4bn of revenue, compared to $900m from table games. Retail casinos raised a total of $3.3bn across the year.
Out of all of the casinos, Parx Casino generated the most slot revenue, bringing in $374.7m - roughly the same as the year before.
Wind Creek Bethlehem posted a 1.26% increase in table game revenue, taking last year's total to $251.5m and putting it at the top of the pack.
Sports betting only accounts for a relatively small portion of the state's total gaming revenue, but it played its part in helping post a record year. Operator revenue was up 18% at $602.5m from $510.7m in 2024. This was driven by a $400m increase in handle, which reached $8.8bn.
Elsewhere, video gaming terminals held steady with $41m of revenue, while fantasy sports contests contributed $19.2m, an increase of 2% from 2024.
Pennsylvania has the largest iGaming market in the US by revenue and it has the second-highest overall gambling revenue figures, behind Nevada, although it has some way to go to reach the Silver State's $15bn a year revenue figure.
