Driven by online betting, Pa. gaming revenue jumps almost 9% in May

Pennsylvania brought in just a few dollars shy of $521 million in gaming revenue in May, the state Gaming Control Board announced this week, an increase of about 8.7% over the same month last year.

The increase was fueled primarily by online virtual slots and table games, whose combined revenue for the month clocked in at over $174 million, a boost of about 23.5% compared to May 2023.

Even with the increase in online activity, physical slot machines continue to be the largest type of gaming regulated by the control board — bringing in over $214 million in May, an increase of about 1.6% compared to 2023.
