Pennsylvania online casinos generated approximately $319.9 million before promotional deductions in September.

It marked the market’s 12th consecutive month above $300 million, completing a full calendar year above that mark.

Gross revenue increased 12.2% from $285.0 million in September 2025, a decrease of 2.7% from August’s $328.6 million total. Through the first nine months of 2026, Pennsylvania online casinos have generated $2.84 billion in gross revenue — an average of $316 million per month, keeping the market on pace to reach $3.8 billion by the end of the year.

September was the third month of Pennsylvania’s 2026-27 fiscal year. The market generated a record $3.7 billion in gross revenue during the previous fiscal year.

Online casino revenue after promos reaches $249.3 million 

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) reported $249.3 million in online casino revenue after promotions during September. 

It was 6.82% higher than the $233.4 million reported in September 2025 and a 1.5% increase over August’s $245.7 million.

Operators offered fewer promotional credits in September than in August, dropping from $82.9 million to $70.6 million. The $319.9 million gross total was calculated from the wagering, amount won, and revenue figures in the PGCB’s monthly report.

Pennsylvania online casinos generated approximately $114.9 million in state and local tax revenue during September, up from $113.5 million in August.

Online slots drive September’s revenue growth

Online slots generated $197.4 million in revenue after promos during September, accounting for 79.2% of the $249.3 million reported by the PGCB. Revenue from the category increased 8.99% from $181.1 million a year earlier. Players wagered more than $5.11 billion on online slot games during the month.

Table game revenue after promos fell 0.63% to $49.7 million year-over-year. Post-promo online poker revenue decreased 1.76% to $2.27 million.

Pennsylvania remains ahead of Michigan and New Jersey

Michigan online casinos generated $300.2 million in gross receipts last month, approximately $19.7 million less than Pennsylvania. New Jersey reported $274.8 million in internet gaming revenue, leaving it about $45.1 million behind.

Through September, Pennsylvania has generated approximately $2.84 billion, compared with $2.60 billion in Michigan and $2.40 billion in New Jersey.

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 $99.0 million in post-promo revenue, an increase of 12.93% from 2025. Valley Forge Casino Resort followed with $69.8 million, up 5.14%, while Rivers Casino Philadelphia generated $38.5 million, an increase of 8.55% year-over-year.

Together, the three accounted for 83.1% of Pennsylvania’s online casino revenue during September.
