Pennsylvania ranks first among states that receive the highest tax revenue from casinos in 2023 and second from sports betting.

In 2023, Pennsylvania ranked first among states for casino tax revenue and second for sports betting tax revenue, according to a staff report from Doc’s Sports.

A Doc’s Sports study looked at data from the American Gaming Association to determine the revenue generated by commercial casinos and the corresponding tax income.

Last year, the Keystone State collected a total of $2.3 billion in tax revenue from casinos, which is a 10.6 percent increase compared to 2022. The only state that came close to Pennsylvania is New York, with a total of approximately $2 billion. Nevada is in third place with $1.2 billion in tax revenue from casinos.

Pennsylvania also came in second based on tax revenue from sports betting. The state collected more than $615 million in tax revenue last year, only behind New York with a total of $2 billion.

Pennsylvania ranks second among states in total customer spending at casinos, at nearly $5.9 billion. Nevada is in first place with $15.5 billion.
