During the month, the Keystone State generated higher revenue than its neighbor.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has reported $452.4m in gross gaming revenue (GGR) from all sources in November 2022, a 5% increase year-on-year.

This was greater than New Jersey in terms of both total revenue and growth.

Regulated sources of gaming recognized by Pennsylvania include slot machines, table games, internet gaming, sports wagering, fantasy contests and video gaming terminals.  

Of these gaming segments, revenue from retail slots continued to reign supreme, as it did this time last year, with $185.6m generated for the month. 

The closest revenue-reaching segment to retail shots was iGaming slots, which saw revenue rise 36% year-on-year to $86.6m for the month.  

Unsurprisingly, iGaming table games was the highest-growing segment, which saw GGR rise 43% from the prior-year period to $39.5m.  

However, revenue from sports wagering suffered the most in November, falling by 17% on the amount generated in the prior-year period.  

But margin gains across the board at Pennslyvania’s gaming locations have helped it to a 5% year-on-year increase in revenue. The state was able to generate $181.8m in tax from all gaming sources.

New Jersey generated a similar total for November, albeit a lower one, with growth also lower at 0.3%.

For the period ending November 30, the total amount of revenue brought in from gaming in New Jersey was $441.1m, which is a 0.3% rise from November 2021.

For the year-to-date, total gaming revenue in the Garden State reported by casinos, racetracks and their partners was $4.76bn, reflecting a 9.8% increase.
