Pennsylvania gaming saw a record-breaking year, with casinos bringing in the most revenue – more than $4.7 billion in 2021, writes Ryan Mulligan for the Philadelphia Business Journal.
This represents the highest total in a single year in Keystone State’s history.
Overall, gaming revenue increased by nearly 80 percent from 2020 bringing in over $1.93 billion in tax revenue for the state, and the top five casinos that garned the most revenue are in and around the Philadelphia area and collar counties.
In Montgomery County, Valley Forge Casino Resort ranked among the top five in fourth place with $471.6 million in revenue.
Meanwhile, the casino that brought in the most revenue last year is Parx Casino in nearby Bucks County with $687.5 million.
Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino in neighboring Delaware County ranked in No. 11 with $211 million.
Hollywood Casino Morgantown, the new Penn National Gaming casino near Chester County’s border with Berks County, ranked at No. 16 based on revenue with $10.5 million.
However, it is important to note that the casino only opened officially on December 22, which left it with less than two weeks to generate revenue for the last year.
