- Pennsylvania gaming revenue hit a record $7.01 billion in fiscal 2025-26, up 9.6% and clearing $7 billion for the first time.
- iGaming rose 18.4% to $2.93 billion, extending its lead as the state's largest gaming vertical.
- Retail slots were flat and table games fell 2.1%, so online play accounted for all of the year's growth.
- The market delivered a record $3.1 billion in taxes and fees, with iGaming producing more than any other vertical.
PHILADELPHIA – Pennsylvania's regulated gambling market produced a record $7.01 billion in the fiscal year that ended June 30, the first time it has cleared $7 billion, and iGaming, not the casino floor, drove the entire gain, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported.
Online Play Accounted For All Of The Growth
Total revenue from casinos, iGaming, sports wagering, video gaming terminals and fantasy contests reached $7,005,987,435 for the 12 months ending June 30, up 9.56% from $6,394,641,819 a year earlier, the board reported. That $611.3 million increase came entirely from online sources.
iGaming revenue climbed 18.42% to $2,933,453,989, an increase of $456.4 million. Sports wagering, most of it placed online, rose 35.95% to $662,947,631, adding $175.3 million. Together the two forms of online gambling gained $631.7 million, more than the market's overall increase, because the physical floor gave ground.
iGaming alone now supplies 41.9% of the state's gaming revenue, ahead of the retail slot floor at 34.8%. It has been the largest vertical for two years running, and the gap widened as online spending grew and in-person play did not.
The Casino Floor Stood Still
Revenue at the brick-and-mortar operations that anchored Pennsylvania's market for a decade was flat to lower. Retail slot machines produced $2,440,995,939, up 0.02% from a year earlier, effectively unchanged. Table games fell 2.15% to $908,941,135, a decline of nearly $20 million. Video gaming terminals at truck stops added $41,622,548, up 0.55%, and fantasy sports slipped 5.79% to $18,026,193.
The pattern tracks a market in which growth has migrated to phones. Sports wagering in Pennsylvania is overwhelmingly a legal Pennsylvania sports betting product rather than a counter bet at a casino, and iGaming has no physical footprint at all. The state's 2025 calendar-year totals showed the same tilt, with a 22.6% jump in sports betting revenue leading that report.
A Record Tax Haul, Led By iGaming
The gaming revenue generated $3,098,193,583 in taxes and fees, also a fiscal-year record. iGaming carried the largest share of that at $1,337,414,660, ahead of the $1,233,866,398 in retail slot machine taxes and well beyond table games at $153,908,255. Sports wagering contributed $238,661,147 in taxes, video gaming terminals $21,643,725 and fantasy sports $2,699,399.
The tax figures reflect the Pennsylvania gambling rate structure as much as its revenue mix. Online slots are taxed far more heavily than table games, so iGaming's climb magnifies its contribution to the treasury. The totals exclude the state lottery and unregulated skill games, which fall outside the board's jurisdiction and remain the subject of separate legislative debate.
The board's figures cover the fiscal year that began July 1, 2025. The 2026-27 year, now underway, opens with iGaming and online sports betting supplying the market's momentum and the casino floor holding steady.
