For the fourth consecutive year, the US commercial gaming industry set a new revenue record in 2024, according to the American Gaming Association (AGA).
The results were announced in the AGA’s Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker, released on Wednesday, February 19, which showed a revenue total of US$71.92bn for the year, surpassing 2023's previous high of $66.5bn by 7.5 per cent.
In addition, the revenue total for the quarter ending December 31, 2024 (Q4 2024), was $18.62bn, an all-time single quarter revenue record, and a 6.2 per cent increase on Q4 2023.
Revenue from land-based casino slots and table gaming reached $49.78bn across the year, a growth of 82 basis points against 2023, and with 12 out of 17 states reporting record levels. Sports betting reached $13.71bn, a 25.4 per cent increase on 2023, with both New Jersey and Illinois exceeding $1bn in annual sports betting revenue for the first time. Igaming revenue was $8.41bn, an increase of 28.7 per cent year over year, with all six previously established igaming markets achieving new annual revenue records.
"In 2024, Americans embraced the diverse legal gaming options available to them—whether in casinos, at sportsbooks, or online—leading to another record-setting year for our industry," said AGA president and CEO Bill Miller.
"As we build on this success, the AGA remains committed to fostering additional growth that benefits consumers, operators and communities alike."
