AGA Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker
The American Gaming Association’s (AGA) Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker features state-by-state and nationwide financial performance data with breakdowns for individual gaming verticals.
TOPLINE INDUSTRY TRENDS
Strong Growth Across All Verticals: U.S. commercial gaming revenue grew 9.8 percent in April driven in part by strong land-based performance.
Traditional casino gaming expanded by 5.3 percent to $4.26 billion.
- Slot machines generated $3.20 billion (+4.5%)
- Table games revenue generated $801.1 million (+5.2%)
Sports betting revenue totaled $1.49 billion (+21.1%) in April with a handle of $13.39 billion (+1.5%).
Sports betting revenue growth continues to be driven by higher hold, which rose from 9.3 in April 2025, to 11.1 percent in April 2026. While total monthly handle increased marginally in April over the prior month, excluding the new market of Missouri handle fell 50 basis points from last April.
iGaming generated $1.00 billion in April revenue, a 15 percent increase compared to the previous year.
State Budget Impacts
Regulated gaming generated $1.59 billion in gaming tax revenue for vital state programs for April, a 15.8% increase over last year. This figure could be significantly higher but is impacted by operators of skill machines, “sweepstakes casinos” and those offering sports bets through prediction market platforms, none of which pay state gaming taxes.
Prediction market platforms offering sports bets have cost state governments over an estimated billion dollars in potential gaming taxes since the start of 2025, depriving seniors’ pension plans and responsible gaming programs, among other victims, of critical funding.
