The economic impact of Pennsylvania’s new land-based casinos during fiscal year 2021/22 is evident in the PGCB’s Annual Diversity Report for the state’s casinos.

These new retail casinos (along with increased online betting options) have helped contribute to new record PA gaming revenue as well as economic benefits like increased number of jobs and employees.

In July, the PGCB reported combined Fiscal Year 2021/2022 revenue figures, which runs from July 1st to June 30th, reached a record level of $5 billion for the first time ever. The combined tax revenue from all forms of legal gambling in PA topped $2 billion for the first time.

In its recent report, the PGCB highlights some of the economic impact deriving from the state’s continued gaming expansion, which includes 14,829 people employed by PA’s casinos as of June 30, 2022.
