Of that half-dozen, Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania accounted for about 90% — or $5.6 billion — of the $6.2 billion in national online casino revenue in 2023. Online gaming made up 24.7% of all commercial revenue in 2023, a figure that includes mobile sports betting.

Brick-and-mortar casinos also continued to thrive, as the nation’s 1,011 commercial properties grossed $49.4 billion in 2023, up 3.3% from the year before.
