HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported a strong surge in gaming revenue in October while separately announcing a series of enforcement actions against several Video Gaming Terminal (VGT) operators and establishments cited for regulatory violations.
In one announcement, the Board detailed penalties and license revocations stemming from violations of the state’s VGT Gaming Act. In another, officials highlighted record-breaking iGaming revenue that helped drive Pennsylvania’s overall gaming industry to one of its strongest months on record.
The Board issued a $45,000 fine against Pilot Travel Centers LLC for failing to maintain required surveillance coverage inside VGT gaming areas at multiple truck stop locations. Regulators said the lack of proper camera monitoring created compliance gaps that the operator was required to correct.
In a separate enforcement action, VGT Terminal Operator Miele Manufacturing, doing business as Skills Gaming, saw its VGT terminal operator license revoked. According to the Board, the revocation followed repeated failures to submit requested financial records and other regulatory information deemed necessary for oversight.
Three Video Gaming Establishments also lost their VGT establishment licenses. Regulators said the establishments were found to have willfully violated multiple provisions of the VGT Gaming Act, including failure to comply with mandatory reporting and operational requirements.
In a separate proceeding, a petition to ban an adult gaming patron from all Pennsylvania casinos was approved. The individual was placed on the state’s Involuntary Exclusion List after leaving a child unattended in a vehicle while they gambled inside a casino.
Alongside the enforcement announcements, the regulator released its monthly gaming revenue report, showing iGaming set a new state record. Online casino-style games generated $172.9 million in October, the highest monthly total since legalization. The figure reflects continued consumer demand for online slots, table games, and poker.
Total gaming revenue across all channels—casinos, sports wagering, iGaming, fantasy contests, VGTs, and mini-casinos—reached $515.3 million for the month, up 7 percent from October 2024.
Parx Casino led the state in overall retail slot revenue, while Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course dominated online gaming, accounting for the largest share of the iGaming total. Sports wagering also climbed, with online operators such as FanDuel and DraftKings continuing to drive the bulk of the handle.
Regulators emphasized that while the industry continues to show strong growth, compliance with state law remains critical. The Board said enforcement actions help ensure the integrity of gaming in the Commonwealth and protect both consumers and gaming operators who follow the rules.
The Board will release its next monthly revenue update in December during its regularly scheduled public meeting.
