The American Gaming Association (AGA) reported another record year for gambling, as both traditional and online sectors posted growth, despite some declines in the last quarter attributed to sports betting and favourable game results.
In the AGA’s State of the Industry 2025 report published today (19 February), annual gaming revenue grew for the fourth consecutive year to $71.92 billion (£57.13 billion/€69 billion), up 7.5% year-on-year.
The AGA expects that when tribal gaming revenue is reported by the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) later in the year, total US gaming revenue for 2024 will “approach” $115 billion.
Slot-machine revenue in 2024 was $36.06 billion, an increase of 1.6%. Table-game revenue fell by 1.7% over the course of the year to $10.14 billion. In total, traditional casino slots and table games took in $49.78 billion.
In-person gaming, consisting of casino slots, tables and retail sports betting, accounted for $50.32 billion of industry revenue last year.
