Pennsylvania casino revenue hits all-time high16 January 2019(PRESS RELEASE) -- Combined revenue generated by casinos through slot machine and table games play during the 2018 calendar year was the highest annual total to date, according to figures released by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board today. The total revenue of $3,248,681,377 in 2018 topped the previous year total of $3,226,910,816 attained last calendar year. The record 2018 figure comes even with a slight 1.3% dip in tables games revenue over 2017 (see second chart). However, as previously reported by the Board, slot machine revenue fueled the overall growth by increasing by more than $32 million dollars this past year over 2017 revenue figures. The Board also reported that tax revenue in 2018 from the combined play of slot machines and table games was $1,377,254,368. The following chart tracks slot machine and table games gross revenue since the first slots-only casino opened in November 2006. Table games were added to Pennsylvania casinos in July 2010.
