Slot machine gaming posted a 4.5% increase in 2022 when compared to the $2.3 billion generated in 2021.
Most of it came from gross revenue from slot machines at the state’s casinos, by far the most profitable vertical at $2.4 billion in revenue, followed by iGaming ($1.4 billion), table games ($990.6 million), sports betting ($401.2 million) and VGTs and fantasy contests ($64.3 million). The hike in gambling win also resulted in record combined tax revenue production in 2022, at $2.1 billion, up from $1.9 billion in 2021.
In calendar year 2022, the combined win of slot machines, table games, sports wagering, iGaming, video gaming terminals (VGTs) and fantasy contests totaled $5.2 billion, compared to $4.7 billion in 2021, making it the nation’s second-richest gaming state. Pennsylvania has posted a new record year for legal gambling, according to a report from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), with revenue nearly a half billion dollars higher than the previous year.
