Legalized gaming in Pennsylvania had a record year in 2021, with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reporting revenue increases in nearly every sector of the industry. 

COVID-19 significantly impacted the industry with bricks and mortar casinos closed and sports betting hobbled by the cancellation of live sports. Now with casinos open and sports wagering available on sports ranging from baseball to hockey, the numbers are back up.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is reporting that revenue for May 2019 was $1.8 million, up from $1.3 million in May 2018, the first month in which fantasy betting was allowed in the state.
