After just under eight years of commercial casino gaming in New York, the industry finally reached a major milestone.

With $56.37 million generated in June, according to data from the New York State Gaming Commission, the four upstate properties pushed the lifetime gross gaming revenue total to over $4 billion.

While that is certainly worth commemorating and celebrating, the revenue report for June 2024 as an individual month provided a mixed bag.

Start with the top-level number of more than $56 million in total revenue. That total stands as the second-best June since commercial casino gaming began in 2016. Only last year’s $56.93 million tops it.
