Pennsylvania ended 2025 with its strongest casino revenue performance to date, reaching $6.796 billion across all gaming categories, according to new data from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. This marks a 10.74% increase over 2024’s total of $6.137 billion and represents the fifth consecutive year of statewide revenue growth.
The state’s gaming revenue total includes slot machines, table games, sports wagering, iGaming, video gaming terminals (VGTs), and fantasy contests. Tax revenue generated from these activities rose to $2.98 billion, surpassing the previous year’s total.
Online casino gaming was the largest contributor to statewide growth. iGaming revenue reached $2.775 billion in 2025, an increase of more than 27% compared with 2024’s $2.181 billion. The surge reflects continued consumer migration toward digital casino products and strong participation across licensed online operators.
At Penn National, iGaming revenue exceeded $1.05 billion, a 28.61% increase year over year. Other operators without online gaming components—such as Hollywood Casino York or Parx Shippensburg—remained dependent on land‑based activity, highlighting the increasingly significant role of digital channels in shaping statewide results.
While overall revenue hit a record, not all segments grew at the same pace. Slot machine revenue fell slightly by 0.62%, totaling $2.432 billion compared with $2.447 billion in 2024. Several individual casinos reported contrasting trends: for instance, Hollywood Casino York saw a 4.43% increase, whereas Penn National experienced a 1.61% decline.
Table game revenue mirrored this modest downward movement, declining 1.25% to $925.4 million statewide. Performance varied across properties, with Hollywood Casino York posting an 11.54% increase and Parx Shippensburg seeing a 32.21% decrease.
Sports wagering produced some of the strongest year‑over‑year growth outside of iGaming. Total revenue climbed to $602.5 million in 2025, an increase of nearly 18% compared with the prior year’s $510.7 million. The total sports wagering handle reached $8.8 billion, up more than 5% annually.
Individual properties reported significant jumps in sports betting activity. Hollywood Casino York, for example, saw a 153% increase, while smaller operators such as Parx Shippensburg posted near‑double increases despite comparatively modest overall figures.
Overall, Pennsylvania’s 2025 casino performance reinforces steady market expansion driven by online gaming adoption and a diversified regulatory environment. The Gaming Control Board’s long‑term data shows consistent gains across most gaming categories over the last several years, positioning the state as one of the most robust regulated markets in the country.
As online casino and sports wagering continue to mature, Pennsylvania’s gaming industry may face slower growth in land‑based segments, but digital revenue trends suggest sustained momentum heading into 2026
