The Keystone State has done it again, as PA online casinos have registered a growth that’s just shy of 29% throughout March, when compared to the same month last year. According to the latest figures released by the Pennsylvania Gambling Control Body, online casino games generated a monthly gross revenue of over $191 million, compared to $148 million in March 2023.

More than $82 Million in Tax Revenue from Online Gambling

This March’s revenue from the play of online slot machines was $135,519,554, representing a 29.28% increase in revenue when compared to the $104,827,884 generated in March 2023.  Table games yielded $53,091,910, also showing a substantial increase of 31.18% from the previous year. 

The only segment that registered a decrease of popularity was online poker, which went down from $2,889,710 to $2,474,651. However, the latter figure could easily undergo significant improvement if rumours of Pennsylvania joining the multi-state online poker compact are true. 

The new record has resulted in a hefty tax haul of $82,061,953 for the Keystone state. Here are the main figures at a glance:
