Pennsylvania’s gaming revenue rose year on year in September 2026, driven by gains in online casino and sports wagering that more than offset a sharp decline in retail table-game revenue. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said combined revenue from all forms of gaming, including fantasy contests, reached $555,036,870 for the month, up 4.07% from $533,334,658 a year earlier.
The regulator said September 2026 tax revenue totalled $242,630,497. In the PGCB release, that figure is presented as tax revenue generated before any adjustments by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.
Online casino remained the largest contributor
Online casino gaming generated $249,306,637 in September, up 6.82% from $233,380,985 in September 2025. That made iGaming the single largest reported revenue stream in the PGCB’s monthly release.
Within iGaming, slots continued to do the heavy lifting. PGCB data shows iGaming slots revenue rose 8.99% year on year to $197,374,613, while iGaming table games slipped 0.63% to $49,661,543 and iGaming poker fell 1.76% to $2,270,481.
Sports wagering revenue diverged from handle
Sports wagering taxable revenue increased 50.45% year on year to $44,737,408, even though handle fell 6.09% to $798,743,169 from $850,549,347 a year earlier. That means September’s betting revenue growth came alongside lower wagering volume than in the same month of 2025.
Land-based table games fell sharply
Retail table-games revenue moved the other way. The PGCB said it fell 18.07% year on year to $60,163,644 in September 2026, down from $73,429,242 in September 2025.
Taken together, the September figures show Pennsylvania’s monthly growth depended on digital channels and stronger sports wagering revenue, while one of the state’s core land-based segments posted a notable decline. The numbers were published by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board on 19 October.
