Pennsylvania’s Online Casinos Claimed Nearly 8% Increase In April Revenue
The $245.8 million statewide take among iGaming operators was driven by surge in slots revenue
1 min
Pennsylvania’s 20-plus online casino operators continued their healthy streak of revenue gains in April, with their collective take of $245.8 million representing a 7.9% increase over the prior year.
The statewide adjusted gross online revenue reported by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board was down modestly from the $254.7 million claimed by operators in March, which has one extra day.
Of the April total, $195.2 million came from online slots play, a 15.2% increase from April 2025. Online table play, however, resulted in $48 million in revenue and was off by 14.1%. Online poker revenue of $2.6 million showed a 9.7% improvement year-over-year.
Harrah’s/Caesars showed biggest gains
Pennsylvania does not report iGaming revenue by individual operator, lumping figures together under license-holders that typically hold multiple skins.
As is typical, Penn Entertainment’s Hollywood Casino, which also includes the DraftKings, BetMGM, and Fanatics iCasinos as partners, led April with revenue of $93.6 million, up 12.6% from the prior year.
Valley Forge Casino Resort, with FanDuel as a partner, had a lesser increase of 4.3% to report $69.6 million in revenue.
Rush Street’s Rivers Casino, with its BetRivers brand and others as partners, had a healthy increase of 13.4% to reach $40.7 million in revenue.
The biggest year-over-year jump, however, occurred with Harrah’s Philadelphia, which has the Caesars brand and other partners. Its fourth-place revenue of $15 million was 34.6% higher than in April 2025.
With a blended iCasino tax rate of 46.1% driven by one of the nation’s highest levies for slots play, the online operators directed $113.5 million in taxes to the state last month.
Total gaming revenue up 6.5%
The state’s April report showed revenue from all types of gaming — which also includes brick-and-mortar casinos, sports betting, truck stop video gaming terminals, and fantasy sports contests — amounted to $595 million, up 6.5% year-over-year.
The sports betting revenue increase was the biggest of all, with the $59 million in adjusted revenue 38.6% higher than the prior April.
Land-based casino revenue was basically neutral, with $206.7 million from their slot play up 1.8% while their $78.7 million in table games revenue was 2.4% lower than the year before. That revenue includes one week of operation in late April by the newest mini-casino in the state to open, Happy Valley Casino near State College and Penn State University.
Overall, tax revenue from commercial gaming for state and local governments in Pennsylvania last month amounted to $255.3 million.
