Retail gaming was the single biggest market for Pennsylvania in March, despite seeing a recent decline in year-on-year revenues. For example, revenue from retail slots declined by 2.4%, but still amounted to a huge $222,500,000. Retail table games experienced an even more significant drop, falling by 3.9% when compared to the previous year, but still contributed significantly with a total of $81,900,000 in revenue. You can see a comparison of the revenues between March 2024 and 2025 in the table below.

Parx Casino in Bucks County topped the charts for slot revenue in March with a 0.19% bump in year-on-year revenue, pulling in $34,400,000. In contrast, the market leader for retail table games is Wind Creek Bethlehem, with a whopping $23,400,000. This marked an impressive 14.8% yearly rise for Wind Creek, highlighting a significant growth year for the location. However, this has been slightly overshadowed by the fact that Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course made waves with a massive 76.31% spike in table game revenue compared to March 2024.
Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course is not just a retail location; this operator blends the online and physical world of gaming effortlessly. It led the state in March with a combined retail and online gaming haul of $107.2 million, up 21.5% from the same time last year. However, the bulk of this revenue ($90.7 million) came from the casino’s iGaming operations.
Zooming out, Pennsylvania’s online gaming scene hit $238.2 million in March revenue, reflecting a 24.7% year-over-year boost. Here’s how that looked when broken down into key products:
These figures represent an increased demand for online products, reflecting the broader shift toward an increasingly digital world.
March is typically one of the key months for the US sports betting market, often referred to as March Madness. Despite this, the Pennsylvania sports betting industry experienced a 40.7% fall in year-on-year revenue, which amounted to only $27,000,000 this March. In contrast, sports wagering actually saw a significant increase, suggesting the dip in revenues may not be as big of a problem as many sportsbooks in the state may have been led to believe. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board confirmed that players had wagered a total of $842,900,000 on sports in March 2025, up by 5.26% on the previous year.
So, what do these numbers really say about the state of Pennsylvania gaming in March 2025? In short, the industry is evolving. Retail gaming remains a powerhouse, but the momentum is clearly shifting toward online gaming, with iGaming posting some of the most impressive growth figures this month.
Hollywood Casino’s ability to combine both worlds highlights where the market is likely headed, toward seamless integration of physical and digital play. While the drop in sports betting revenue raises a few eyebrows, the overall wagering volume suggests interest is still high. It might not all be smooth sailing, but Pennsylvania’s gaming industry is adapting fast, with an exciting few years still ahead.
