The figure represents the state’s second-highest revenue figure, just short of May’s record of $601.9M.

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

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

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 $2.4B, thanks to its $6.4B 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.

Of Pennsylvania’s licensed online casinos, Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course generated the highest revenue, raising $85.5 million, while Valley Forge ($67.6 million) and Rivers Casino Phoenix ($36.6 million) were next highest.

The three online casinos saw revenue increase 18.5%, 47.1% and 18.5%, respectively.

Video gaming terminal revenue for the month reached $3.6m, down 2.4% compared to 2024.

The number of machines and total venues remained constant over the two years, but Venture Gaming's significant 94.3% revenue fall was made up for by Jango’s 48.21% increase.

Fantasy contests saw a slight annual increase, up 2.58% to $664,000.

DraftKings generated the majority of this revenue ($514,000), but Underdog Sports ($64,000) and Fantasy Sports Games LLC ($1,600) both more than doubled their revenue compared to 2024.
