The country’s major online gaming markets once again reported revenue gains in February, including a new monthly record in Pennsylvania.
New Jersey saw the state’s online gaming industry once again top the state’s revenue from live casinos. Online poker suffered revenue declines after gains throughout much of 2025.
Here’s a look at how revenue numbers played out in each state:
Pennsylvania
The Keystone State enjoyed $547.1 million in revenue from all forms of gaming in February, a 14.6% jump from the same month last year. This brought in $236 million in tax revenue for the state.
Of that total, online gaming produced a record monthly revenue total of $239.9 million, an increase of 15.6%. Despite that, online poker continued the slide seen over the last few months. Online table game numbers also declined. Online slot play led the way for the new monthly record. Here’s a look at revenue numbers from each gaming category:
- Online slots: $191.5 million (up 24.1%)
- Online table games: $46.2 million (down 9.2%)
- Online poker: $2.2 million (down 9.7%)
In the sports betting arena, February handle reached $592.5 million, dropping 21.7% from 2025. However, the taxable revenue figure was $37.8 million, surging 405.6% from $7.5 million in February 2025.
New Jersey
The nine casinos in New Jersey brought in revenue of $202.9 million in February, a small decrease of 0.3% compared to $203.5 million for the same month in 2025, according to the state’s Division of Gaming Enforcement. Year-to-date revenue totaled $416.2 million through February, a 0.7% increase from the prior year-to-date period.
Online gaming revenue topped the live casino revenue by almost $50 million. That equated to $251.8 million, reflecting 21.2% growth from $207.8 million in February 2025. Year-to-date online gaming revenue reached $510.7 million, rising 18.9%. As in Pennsylvania, online poker slid in the Garden State but was less pronounced, falling 1.7% to $2.3 million.
For sports wagering, operators reported gross revenue of $66 million, falling 10.3% compared to $73.6 million from February 2025. Year-to-date revenue was $180.7 million, decreasing 7.7%.
The state saw $520.8 million in revenue from all forms of gaming for the month, up 7.4% from $484.8 million last February. Year-to-date total gaming revenue is up 6.6% to $1.1 billion. Total gross revenue taxes were $74.8 million for February and $161.3 million year to date.
Michigan
The Wolverine State reported $313 million in online gaming and sports betting gross receipts in February, down 12.2% from January. That included $273.1 million for iGaming and $39.9 million for sports betting.
