The gambling industry in Pennsylvania can’t stop setting records.
In October, the state set new benchmarks for:
- PA Sports betting handle – $776.3 million
- PA Online casino revenue – $102.9 million.
- PA Casino revenue – $425.9 million.
That last figure shattered the previous mark – set in July – by more than $2 million.
The sports betting handle demolished the previous record of $615.3 million from January, according to data provided by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.
The Pennsylvania iGaming revenue was closer, just more than the May record of $101.3 million. But it counts. It was also a 33% jump from the same month a year ago.
PA online poker produced its third-highest revenue month of 2021.

The record numbers were quite a way to celebrate the third anniversary of legal PA sports betting. For sports betting alone, Pennsylvania has now generated more than $10 billion in all-time handle. The handle was down slightly from the previous month, however.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey are the only states to generate a $1 billion in sports betting revenue over a calendar year, according to PlayPennsylvania.
All told, $714.1 million of the sports bets in Pennsylvania in October were made online.
Revenue from online poker dropped 2.4% from September, according to information from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, but revenue increased 17.8% from the same period last year.
