Pennsylvania operators reported record igaming revenue for the second consecutive month. But in December, sports betting revenue declined due to customer-friendly results that impacted the wider sector.
Total revenue from gambling in Pennsylvania in December totalled $533.1 million (£463.5 million/€517.3 million). This is 0.2% lower than the previous year and also 5.2% less than November’s $562.4 million record hold.
Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) figures highlight igaming as the state’s stand-out segment in December. Monthly revenue here hit $223.6 million, some 35.5% ahead of December 2023 and 11.5% above November’s existing record.
Of this total, $164.3 million came from online slots, up 40.5% year-on-year. Internet table-games revenue also increased by 24.2%, while online poker revenue edged up 2.9% to $2.5 million.
Players spent $4.28 billion playing online slots during December, as well as $3.01 billion on internet table games. Online poker spend was not disclosed.
