The figure represents the state’s second highest revenue figure, coming in just short of May’s record of $601.9m.

August’s gambling revenue figures include all forms of gambling from online and offline sources.

The $582.3m monthly revenue represents a 14.5% increase over the same period last year and up around 4.5% compared to July 2025 figures.

The month of August saw the state raise $238.5m in tax revenue. Gambling tax is a huge source of income for the state.

In the 2024 fiscal year, the Keystone State generated around $2.4bn, thanks to its $6.4bn in gross gaming revenue generated in the 12 months.

During the fiscal year, iGaming revenue rose more than 25% compared to 2023, generating 39% of the total figure.
