Written By Corey Sharp on June 18, 2024
High-speed train representing Pennsylvania's online casinos sector continuing to cruise along. Pennsylvania operators had revenue of $216.5 million in May. It was the second-best month in state history.

Pennsylvania online casinos keep pumping out revenue totals of more than $200 million. Operators did so again for the fourth straight month, as the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported $216.5 million in May.

PA online casino revenue set a lofty record of $233.1 million in March. After a decrease in April, which was to be expected, platforms experienced a 2% month-over-month increase. It is also proves that operators have come a long way from last May after a 27% year-over-year increase.

Pennsylvania remains the top online casino market in the country. It is the only state to cross the $200 million threshold in May.

PlayPennsylvania Managing Editor Dave Briggs said:

“That’s now four straight months over $200 million, nine straight over $186 million and May also saw online casino revenue in Pennsylvania top $1 billion in just 2024 alone. And, how about this for milestones: Lifetime online slot revenue topped $5 billion in May.

“The online casino bullet train keeps on rolling in Pennsylvania.”

Operators produced $169.3 million in slot earnings last month, which accounted for 78.2% of total revenue. Most platforms in the state have hundreds, if not thousands, of exciting slots to offer players. Many operators are adding some of the most popular titles to keep its library fresh. Pennsylvania online casinos have made $6.89 billion in lifetime revenue. With slots crossing $5 billion, it makes up for 74.7% of lifetime revenue.

It finished ahead of PokerStars and betPARX for the first time ever, and came within $400,000 0f Golden Nugget.
