Pennsylvania’s gaming industry experienced robust growth in June 2025, generating a total revenue of $544.7 million. This represents a substantial 15.4% year-over-year increase encompassing land-based, online, and fantasy gaming sectors, as reported by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB).
Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course led the state’s revenue generation, achieving $96.4 million – a 30% surge compared to June 2024. Close behind was Valley Forge Casino, reporting $93.5 million, a remarkable 46.3% increase. Both establishments demonstrated significant expansion across diverse segments, including online gaming and sports wagering. Rivers Casino Philadelphia and Parx Casino also performed strongly, exceeding $50 million in revenue with $53.4 million (+12.2%) and $52.5 million (+4.4%), respectively.
The upward trajectory of iGaming and sports betting significantly contributed to the state’s June performance. iGaming revenue reached $212.6 million, a 32.3% year-over-year jump. This included $162.2 million from iGaming slots (a 35.9% increase), $47.6 million from iGaming table games (up 22.1%), and $2.7 million from iGaming poker (a 23.2% rise). Fantasy contests further boosted the digital revenue stream.
Sports wagering also experienced exceptional growth, recording $51.2 million in revenue – a 71.4% increase. Total bets placed reached $483.6 million, a 4.1% rise, with online channels contributing $49.2 million to the sports betting revenue. Valley Forge Casino dominated the sports wagering sector, generating $23.2 million in revenue from $164 million in bets, followed by Hollywood Casino at the Meadows with $14.2 million from $132 million in wagers.
Despite the substantial gains in iGaming, retail slot machines remained the highest revenue-generating segment, contributing $199.3 million in June. However, this represented a slight 0.9% decrease compared to the previous year. In contrast, retail table games showed a modest 1.6% increase, generating $77.3 million. Revenue from video gaming terminals (VGTs) declined by 2.2%, reaching $3.4 million, suggesting some weakness in this specific land-based area.
June’s results follow a record-breaking May 2025, when Pennsylvania’s total gaming revenue surpassed $600 million for the first time, reaching $601.8 million – a 15.5% year-over-year increase. May’s success was also fueled by strong iGaming and sports betting performance, with retail slots contributing $224.9 million and sports wagering revenue reaching $59.4 million. The slight decrease in June compared to May is consistent with typical seasonal patterns, although digital channels continued their strong performance.
The overall data indicates a structural shift within the Pennsylvania gaming market, with online verticals becoming increasingly critical to the state’s revenue generation. The sustained growth across iGaming and digital betting strongly positions Pennsylvania for a potentially record-breaking year, driven by robust operator performance, high consumer engagement, and expanding digital infrastructure.
