WYOMISSING, PA — Gaming and Leisure Properties (Nasdaq: GLPI) increased its quarterly cash dividend to $0.82 per share as the casino-focused real estate investment trust continued emphasizing shareholder returns amid stable cash flows from long-term gaming property leases.
The new dividend represents a $0.04 per share quarterly increase from the prior payout level and will be paid June 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of June 12.
Based on the company’s May 20 closing share price of $47.22, the annualized dividend yield is approximately 6.95%.
The increase signals continued confidence in rental income generated from GLPI’s portfolio of gaming and casino properties, which are leased to operators under triple-net arrangements that shift maintenance, insurance, tax, and operational property costs to tenants.
Casino real estate investment trusts have increasingly attracted income-focused investors due to their relatively high dividend yields and long-term lease structures tied to regional gaming operators.
GLPI noted that future dividend payments will remain subject to quarterly review and board approval.
The Wyomissing-based company acquires, finances, and owns gaming-related real estate properties across the United States and leases them to gaming operators under long-term agreements.
