Pennsylvania reports marginal 1% rise in July gaming revenue
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has published a financial report for July 2022, reporting a marginal increase in revenue, at just over 1%.
Total revenue generated from all types of gaming, including fantasy contests, for July 2022 amounted to $429.1m.

Retail slot machine revenue dipped by 4% year-on-year, despite being the highest generating revenue source, amounting to $213.9m.

Sports wagering revenue amounted to $25.4m, representing significant growth of 28%.
Another area reporting positive performance was iGaming slot revenue, which rose by 14% to $72m.
