AGA’s Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker highlighted impressive gross gaming revenue (GGR) in April, marking the 8th month in a row the result exceeded $5 billion. Although revenues failed to match last month’s performance, the industry still grew year-over-year, indicating the dip primarily resulted from seasonal trends.
The American Gaming Association (AGA) is the premier trade association representing the US gaming industry, releasing regular reports on the state of the market. The most recent April results indicate a 7.8% year-on-year growth as revenues reached an impressive $5.41 billion. This month is the eighth in a row exceeding $5 billion, reflecting the industry’s recovery and sustained growth.Slots traditionally contributed the most with $2.99 billion, followed by sports betting at $820.4 million and table games generating $775 million. iGaming also performed admirably, bringing in $504.3 million in revenue. State-wise, Nevada led the pack with $1.16 billion, while Pennsylvania narrowly edged out New Jersey for second place with $486.4 million vs $462.7 million. Almost all segments enjoyed growth except table games, which dropped by 1%. Sports betting performed exceptionally well, with annual gross gaming revenue (GGR) swelling by 69.1%. While land-based gaming only rose 0.3%, the online sector grew significantly by 50.4%, bolstered by recent legalization in several states.
