Last week, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) disclosed the revenue figures for the state’s land-based casinos, iGaming websites, fantasy contests, and sportsbooks.
These forms of gambling reported a combined gross revenue of $473,723,131. That’s 3.27% higher than the same period last year.
Number breakdown
Despite being small, a 3.27% revenue increase indicates that Pennsylvania’s iGaming industry is performing well. For instance, the total revenue generated from online casinos, which was $137,214,750, is 21.31% higher than in April 2022. Last year’s figure was $113,109,393.
Some land-based casinos came up with impressive figures. Hollywood Casino scooped $58 million in gross revenue. That’s an increase of 30% from last year. But it was Parx Casino who came in with the largest growth attracting $5 million this year, whereas last year, they generated only $2 million in gross revenue.
However, the revenue for brick-and-mortar establishments fell by 4% compared to the same period last year, collecting approximately $297.3 million in total. Another decline came from video gaming terminals and fantasy sports platforms, dropping by 6% and 9%, respectively, compared to last year.
