The Pennsylvania gambling market is off to a strong start in 2019.
According to figures from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the state’s slot machines, table games, and sportsbooks generated a combined $256,859,050 in January, up 3.2% over the $248,827,400 generated in January 2018.
The first Pennsylvania sportsbook opened in November, and in January there were six books in operation. January sports betting revenue was $2,607,205. The market for that game is still in its infancy and will continue to grow as more sportsbooks open.
