The Sports Betting Alliance released a study Thursday conducted by economists with the Analysis Group that showed land-based casino revenue growth rates increased by nearly two full percentage points among states where internet casino gaming is now available.

The study also noted total gaming revenue had increased by an average of 46% among the six states where internet casino gaming had been available prior to Rhode Island‘s launch earlier this month. Pennsylvania had the highest increase at 58.9% to $5.18 billion since adding internet casino gaming to its suite in 2018. New Jersey was second at 56.1% to $4.77 billion over an 11-year span dating to 2012, and Michigan was third at 47.8% to $4.4 billion since 2019.
