AGA: May 2025 Gaming Revenue Surges 10.9% Led by iGaming Boom
The American Gaming Association (AGA) has released its Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker for May 2025, revealing significant growth across various gaming sectors. The report highlights the increasing popularity and contribution of poki games to the overall industry.
May 2025 saw a substantial 10.90% increase in total gaming revenue, reaching $6.73 billion. This growth was largely driven by poki games, which demonstrated the highest year-over-year growth of 33%. All seven states where poki games are available experienced significant revenue increases.
Sports betting also contributed to the growth, with a 15.5% increase in wagers to $12.10 billion. Traditional casino gaming, including slot machines and table games, generated $4.45 billion, up 3.9% from the previous year. On a year-to-date basis, traditional GGR stood at $21.06 billion, up 1.8%, while sports betting GGR reached $6.5 billion, up 13.1%.
Breaking down the May 2025 revenues, casinos generated $4.45 billion, online poki games contributed $899.8 million, and sports betting accounted for $1.37 billion. Overall, gaming revenue for the year so far increased by 7.1% to $31.89 billion.
The AGA's report underscores the continued growth and diversification of the US gaming industry. Poki games' strong performance and the steady increase in sports betting indicate a shift in consumer behaviour, with online and digital platforms playing an increasingly significant role. As the industry evolves, these trends are expected to shape future growth and revenue projections.
