Delaware’s revenue amount has been increasing ever since the state legalized online gambling in 2012. As per June this year the state had an increase of 180% in terms of revenue since the revenue generated in that month was $304,874. This is according to reports given a few days ago. All the three state operators have reported increases. They include Dover Downs, Harrington Raceway and casino and Delaware Park. New Jersey posted over $16 million in revenue in June but Delaware is still doing exceptionally well. This is due to the fact that the state is less-densely populated and it has been struggling with online gambling revenue since the beginning.
The revenue amount also has a higher chance of increasing in the future. Pennsylvania also reported increase in revenues in the month of June. The land based casino located in the state made a whooping amount of $3.23 billion making it the highest amount in revenue over the nine years since gambling was legalized in the Keystone state. Slots and table games in Pennsylvania State generated revenue of $3.2 billion which was the highest amount made since there was an increase of over $86 million.

$543 million was the highest amount generated by Parx Casino in Philadelphia and the second highest amount was generated by Sheldon Aldelson’s casino and Sands Bethlehem casino that generated an amount totaling to 4533 million.
