Pennsylvania iGaming Hits 43.1% Share as Other Gaming Falls 7.7%
Total gaming revenue reached $569.74 million, down 2.16% from August 2025, according to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board's August report. The state collected $249.03 million in gaming taxes.
Removing iGaming from the statewide figure shows a larger gap. The remaining gaming verticals generated about $324.04 million, compared with $351.09 million in August 2025. That is a 7.7% year-on-year decline calculated by 15M.
Online Slots Added $15.8M
Online casino revenue rose 6.25% from $231.25 million a year earlier.
Almost all of the movement came from slots. Online slot revenue increased 8.84% to $195.19 million, adding $15.85 million year over year. That increase was larger than the $14.45 million gain recorded by iGaming as a whole.
The other two online verticals contracted:
- iGaming tables: $48.14 million, down 2.57%;
- iGaming poker: $2.37 million, down 5.15%.
Slots therefore made up 79.4% of Pennsylvania iGaming revenue in August, compared with about 77.5% a year earlier.
Other major gaming categories were weaker. Retail slot revenue slipped 1.26% to $213.90 million. Retail tables fell 18.09% to $66.39 million.
Sports wagering revenue dropped 19.92% to $39.36 million. Handle was $498.50 million for the month, down 3.29%.
Hollywood Share Moves to 38.8%
The largest iGaming licence-holder remained Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course. Its August revenue rose 11.60% to $95.39 million.
Based on the PGCB totals, the three largest licence-holders moved as follows:
- Hollywood Casino. $95.39 million, up 11.60% year over year. Its market share increased from about 37.0% to 38.8%.
- Valley Forge Casino Resort. $67.46 million, almost unchanged year over year. Its share slipped from 29.2% to 27.5%.
- Rivers Casino Philadelphia. $39.88 million, up 9.03%, giving it about 16.2% of the market.
Top Three Still Control 82.5%
Together, the three largest licence-holders accounted for 82.5% of August iGaming revenue, compared with 82.0% a year earlier. The overall concentration therefore changed little even as revenue shifted between the leaders.
Mount Airy Casino Resort reported no August iGaming revenue after ceasing internet gaming during the month. It had generated $2.74 million in August 2025.
Pennsylvania's iGaming sector also produced $113.48 million in tax revenue in August, equal to about 45.6% of the state's total gaming tax revenue for the month.
August widened the gap between channels. Online casino revenue grew while Pennsylvania’s other gaming segments combined lost ground, lifting iGaming to more than 43% of statewide revenue for the month.
