Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board
Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Releases Annual Report
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (“PGCB”) has released the 18th edition of its Annual Report.
The PGCB’s 2023-2024 Annual Report provides detail on the work of the agency in regulating the Commonwealth’s gaming industry, and also includes:
- individual revenue figures during another record-setting fiscal year for slot machines, table games, sports wagering, internet gaming, fantasy sports contests and video gaming terminals at eligible truck stops;
- a year in review report with pertinent statistical figures from the PGCB’s key bureaus;
- information on the PGCB’s efforts to stop adults from gambling while leaving minors unattended; and,
- a section on problem gambling and the PGCB’s Self-Exclusion Program.
The PGCB was established in 2004 through the passage of the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act. Since then, it has become one of the pre-eminent gaming regulators in the world overseeing all aspects of gambling in the Commonwealth. Currently, the number of outlets for the various types of gaming regulated by the PGCB are:
- 17 land-based casinos;
- 18 retail sports wagering locations;
- 12 online sports wagering sites;
- 22 sites for online casino-type games (slot machines, table games, poker);
- 74 truck stop establishments with Video Gaming Terminals (VGTs); and,
- 9 online fantasy sports contest sites.
In addition to supporting nearly 16,000 jobs at casinos, overall gaming revenue reached a record high during the fiscal year generating $5.89 billion and resulting in $2.54 billion in tax revenue.
The 2023-2024 Annual Report can be downloaded as a PDF document by choosing Organization Reports under the About PGCB tab on the agency’s website.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (Board) has taken actions to place 14 individuals on its various Involuntary Exclusion Lists. Placement on an Involuntary Exclusion List prohibits individuals from either gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the Board, or a Video Gaming Terminal (VGT) location.
These matters, presented by the Board’s Office of Chief Counsel and Office of Enforcement Counsel, raise the number of individuals now on the Board’s various Involuntary Exclusion Lists to 1391.
The actions by the Board include placement of five individuals on the Involuntary Casino Exclusion List including one who left minors unattended while gambling in a Pennsylvania casino:
A female patron who left her 7-month-old twins in a vehicle in the valet area of Valley Forge Casino Resort for 5 minutes in order to obtain a cash out at the sportsbook.
Actions such as these to deny statewide gambling privileges serve as a reminder that adults are prohibited from leaving minors unattended in the parking lot or garage, a hotel, or other venues at a casino since it creates a potentially unsafe and dangerous environment for the children. To complement the efforts by casinos to mitigate this issue, the Board created an awareness campaign, “Don’t Gamble with Kids”.
Additionally, nine others were placed on the Board’s Involuntary Interactive Gaming Exclusion list for fraudulent actions involving online gambling.
The Gaming Control Board is scheduled to meet next at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 25, 2025 in the Board’s Public Hearing Room located on the second floor of the Strawberry Square Complex in Harrisburg. More information, including the agenda, will be posted on the Board’s website prior to the meeting.
