The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (“PGCB”) today reported that revenue generated during the combined Fiscal Year 2024/2025 of gaming it regulates reached a record level of $6,394,641,819.

This figure consists of the combined revenue from casino slot machines and table games, iGaming, sports wagering, video gaming terminals (VGTs) and fantasy sports contests. The amount eclipses the previous high for revenue in a fiscal year of $5,892,516,807 achieved in 2023/2024. Pennsylvania’s Fiscal Year runs from July 1 to June 30.

The resulting tax revenue from the play of these games in Fiscal Year 2024/2025 was $2,797,395,982. That figure eclipses the previous high for tax revenue in a fiscal year achieved during 2023/2024 of approximately $2.54 billion. The estimated amounts for revenue and taxes being reported are prior to any possible adjustments by the PA Department of Revenue.

Tax revenue from the various forms of gaming regulated by the PGCB is returned to Pennsylvanians in a number of ways. These include, but are not limited to:

• school property tax reduction on an owner’s primary residence;
• state, county, and local economic development, safety and recreational projects;
• support of the agricultural industry through support of horse racing; and,
• revenue toward the Commonwealth’s General Fund.

The 2025 WSOP sets unprecedented benchmarks across entries, prize money, and payouts, solidifying its status as the pinnacle of live tournament poker

After eight weeks of thrilling competition, the 56th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP®) at the Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas officially concluded on July 16. The 2025 series has once again redefined live tournament poker, shattering multiple all-time records and further cementing its legendary status.

“The poker renaissance was on full display at the 2025 WSOP,” said Ty Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of WSOP. “If you missed the amazing action, the good news is that you can inevitably expect bigger and better next year. A sincere thank you to every player and staffer who came to Las Vegas and made this a summer to remember.”

The action-packed summer on the Las Vegas Strip featured appearances from a host of celebrities and poker legends, all vying for poker’s most coveted prize: the WSOP gold bracelet. In addition to the strong turnout, the 2025 WSOP will be remembered for the launch of the revolutionary WSOP+ app, which virtually eliminated registration lines throughout the summer and greatly enhanced the WSOP experience for the entire playing community.

2025 WSOP By the Numbers – A Historic Summer

This year’s WSOP delivered staggering figures, setting several new all-time records across the board:

• 246,960 entries – The most all-time entries for a single WSOP series

• $481,761,879 – The largest total prize money awarded in WSOP history

• 37,311 places paid – The highest number of unique payouts in series history

• 43 – The number of $1M+ prizes won across the 2025 series

• Event #53: Millionaire Maker No-Limit Hold’em attracted 11,996 entries, setting a new record for the largest $1,500 buy-in field in live tournament poker history

• Event #89: Mid-Stakes Championship No-Limit Hold’em saw 3,797 entries, becoming the largest $3,000 buy-in field ever

• Event #86: Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha drew 5,284 entries, establishing itself as the largest PLO field in live tournament poker history

• 57 events exceeded $2+ million prize pools – An all-time record for the series

• 9 events exceeded $10+ million prize pools – An all-time record for the series

Although this year’s summer tournament is over, the excitement continues with the WSOP Circuit (WSOP-C) 2025 Season Part 2 already underway, and the return of WSOP Paradise this winter in the Bahamas from Dec. 4 to 18. Additionally, WSOP Europe (WSOP-E) runs from Sept. 12 to Oct. 8, with the WSOP-E Main Event beginning on Oct. 3.
