Pennsylvania’s gaming industry generated $591.1 million in gross revenue in July 2026, according to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, marking a 5.99% increase from July 2025.
The first month of the state’s 2026/27 fiscal year followed a record 2025/26, when Pennsylvania gaming revenue surpassed $7 billion for the first time. July’s results show continued strength across several segments, with online casino gaming once again generating more revenue than any other individual gaming category.
Retail slot machines remained the state’s second-largest revenue source, while sports wagering posted one of the strongest year-over-year gains. Table games, meanwhile, declined from a year earlier.
Online casino gaming leads Pennsylvania revenue
Pennsylvania’s online casino market generated $249 million in revenue during July, up 9.09% from $228.3 million in July 2025.
- Online slots accounted for $199.2 million of that total
- Online table games generated $47.4 million
- Online poker produced $2.3 million
Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course remained the state’s largest online casino operator, generating $97.04 million in July revenue. Valley Forge Casino Resort followed with $70.11 million, while Rivers Casino Philadelphia generated $40.48 million.
Together, those three operators accounted for about 83.4% of Pennsylvania’s total online gambling revenue.
Harrah’s Philadelphia recorded the largest year-over-year increase among the state’s major online casino operators, with revenue climbing 40.01% to $14.66 million. Bally’s Pennsylvania also posted substantial growth, increasing 65.58% to $5.53 million.
Not every operator gained ground. Live! Casino Philadelphia’s online casino revenue fell 67.04% year over year to $1.67 million, while Wind Creek Bethlehem declined 72.28% to $572,443.
Retail slots remain a major revenue source
Pennsylvania’s retail slot machines generated $213.7 million in July, a 2.48% increase from the same month in 2025.
The state’s casinos had 24,561 slot machines in operation during July, compared with 24,362 a year earlier.
Parx Casino led the state with $32.01 million in slot revenue. Wind Creek Bethlehem followed at $22.96 million, while Rivers Casino Pittsburgh generated $20.99 million.
Presque Isle Downs and Casino recorded the largest year-over-year increase among the state’s casinos, with slot revenue rising 13.96% to $8.67 million. Hollywood Casino Morgantown also posted a double-digit increase of 13.09%.
Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, meanwhile, saw slot revenue fall 6.28% to $11.05 million. Harrah’s Philadelphia declined 3.34%.
The overall increase shows that retail slots continued to provide a stable foundation for Pennsylvania’s casino industry even as online gaming expanded.
Sports betting revenue jumps 28% year over year
Pennsylvania sportsbooks accepted $509.5 million in sports wagers during July, up 23.53% from $412.5 million in July 2025.
Sports wagering revenue reached $51.84 million, a 27.75% increase from the $40.58 million generated a year earlier. Online sportsbooks accounted for $49.56 million of the state’s July sports wagering revenue, while retail sportsbooks generated $2.28 million.
Valley Forge Casino Resort led the market with $167.1 million in wagers and $21.13 million in sports wagering revenue. Hollywood Casino at the Meadows followed with $166 million in handle and $14.38 million in revenue.
Hollywood Casino Morgantown and Presque Isle Downs and Casino also recorded particularly strong year-over-year revenue growth, increasing 92.05% and 104.72%, respectively.
The figures underscore the dominance of online sportsbooks in Pennsylvania’s sports wagering market, with nearly all sports wagering revenue coming from digital platforms.
Table games revenue declines in July
Pennsylvania’s retail table games generated $72.37 million in July, down 5.07% from $76.23 million in July 2025.
Wind Creek Bethlehem led the state with $16.19 million in table games revenue, followed by Parx Casino at $15.11 million and Live! Casino Philadelphia at $8.75 million.
Several properties recorded significant year-over-year increases. Hollywood Casino at the Meadows more than tripled its table games revenue to $2.51 million, while Parx Shippensburg increased revenue more than fivefold to $225,039. Mohegan Pennsylvania also posted a 49.04% increase.
Those gains were offset by declines at several larger casinos. Wind Creek Bethlehem’s table games revenue dropped 29.23%, while Parx Casino declined 8.93%.
Fantasy contests grow while VGT revenue declines
Video gaming terminals at qualified truck stops generated $3.35 million in July, down 3.17% from the same month last year.
All VGT operators offered the maximum five machines at each of the 72 qualified truck stops operating during July. That compares with 73 establishments a year earlier.
Fantasy contests generated another $803,119 in revenue, a 35.49% increase from July 2025. DraftKings accounted for $629,777 of the total, while FanDuel generated $111,995.
Online poker remained a relatively small component of Pennsylvania’s gaming market, generating $2.34 million in July, down 7.14% year over year.
Pennsylvania starts new fiscal year with growth
Pennsylvania’s $591.1 million in July gaming revenue represents a solid opening to the 2026/27 fiscal year.
Overall gaming revenue increased nearly 6% from July 2025, led by online casino gaming and a sharp increase in sports wagering revenue. Retail slots also grew, while table games and video gaming terminals declined.
The results come after Pennsylvania’s record-setting 2025/26 fiscal year, when regulated gaming generated more than $7 billion in revenue and returned more than $3.09 billion to the Commonwealth through taxes and fees.
July alone generated $256.8 million in tax revenue, according to the PGCB. While one month does not establish the direction of the entire fiscal year, Pennsylvania’s latest figures show that its increasingly diverse gaming market remains a significant source of revenue for the state.
