The West Virginia Lottery reported internet casino gaming revenue totaled $16.2 million for April, a slight increase from last year.
Revenue was up 3.4% from last year, mainly due to the efforts of BetRivers and Caesars Palace as well as Betly continuing its first year of operations through Mardi Gras Casino. The $428.2 million in wagering across the state’s platforms was a year-over-year increase of 4%.
The state received $2.1 million in taxes after administrative fees were deducted, bringing the year-to-date total to $9 million. Revenue for April was down 32.5% from March’s record of close to $24 million as operators failed to notch back-to-back months with at least $20 million for the first time in West Virginia history since launching operations in July 2020.
