Pennsylvania online casinos generated approximately $311.9 million before promotional deductions during July, marking the market’s 10th consecutive month above $300 million.

Revenue increased 12.3% from $277.9 million in July 2025 and rose 2.9% from $303.1 million in June.

The latest result pushed revenue through the first seven months of 2026 to approximately $2.20 billion. That’s an average of more than $313 million per month, putting the market on pace to approach $3.8 billion by the end of the year if revenue remains near its current level.

July also marked the beginning of Pennsylvania’s 2026-27 fiscal year. The market entered the new reporting period after generating a record $3.7 billion during the previous fiscal year.

Online casino revenue climbs to $249 million 

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) reported $249 million in online casino revenue during July. 

That was 9.1% higher than the $228.3 million reported in July 2025 and represented a 2.7% increase from June’s $242.5 million.

The $311.9 million total was calculated from the wagering, amount won, and revenue figures in the PGCB’s monthly report. The difference between the calculated and PGCB-reported totals reached approximately $62.9 million, up from $49.6 million a year earlier.

Pennsylvania online casinos generated approximately $115.5 million in state and local tax revenue during July.

Online slots drive July’s revenue growth

Online slots generated $199.2 million in revenue during July, accounting for approximately 80% of the $249 million reported by the PGCB. Revenue from the category increased 12.4% from $177.2 million a year earlier.

Online slot wagers totaled approximately $4.95 million, up 12.9% from $4.38 million in July 2025.

The other two categories declined. Table game revenue fell 2.2% to $47.4 million, while online poker revenue decreased 7.1% to $2.3 million. The approximately $22 million increase from slots more than offset the combined decline from tables and poker.

Pennsylvania remains ahead of Michigan and New Jersey

Michigan online casinos generated $302.8 million in gross receipts last month, approximately $9.2 million less than Pennsylvania. New Jersey reported $276.9 million in internet gaming revenue, leaving it about $35 million behind.

Through July, Pennsylvania has generated approximately $2.20 billion, compared with $2.1 billion in Michigan and $1.9 billion in New Jersey.

However, Michigan continues to grow faster. Its July revenue increased 20.9% year over year, compared with Pennsylvania’s 12.3% increase and New Jersey’s 12% growth.

Penn National and Valley Forge lead licensees

The PGCB reports online casino revenue by casino license-holder rather than by individual online casino brand. 

Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course led with $97 million in revenue, an increase of 10.5% from July 2025. Valley Forge Casino Resort followed with $70.1 million, up 14.9%, while Rivers Casino Philadelphia generated $40.5 million, an increase of 7.2%.

Together, the three produced more than 83% of Pennsylvania’s online casino revenue during July.

Bally’s Pennsylvania recorded the largest percentage increase among operators with year-over-year comparisons, with revenue rising 65.6% to $5.5 million. Harrah’s Philadelphia also posted strong growth, increasing 40% to $14.7 million.
