Table game revenue went up 0.33 percent to a whopping $74 million while slot machine revenue increased by 0.5 percent to a whopping $190 million. Daily fantasy sports, on the other hand, reported $1.63 million in revenue last month \u2013 DraftKings reported $906,451 while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennsylvaniacasinos.com\/news\/fanduel-sportsbook-to-debut-at-the-valley-forge-casino-resort\/\">FanDuel<\/a> earned a rather modest $622,815.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, the revenue and handle drops were recorded despite the fact that there were a number of high-profile sporting events going on. The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Super Bowl (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zackjones\/2019\/01\/21\/2019-super-bowl-betting-odds-cheat-sheet-patriots-rams-spread-total-prop-betting-options\/\" target=\"_blank\">Super Bowl<\/a> is perhaps the main highlight of that period and it was therefore expected to contribute significantly to the sports betting industry&#8217;s bottom line. In the neighboring state of New Jersey, this is exactly what happened with the state recording a handle of $35 million. However, this has been attributed to the fact that<strong> the sportsbooks lost a number of these bets hence the significant disparity in the state&#8217;s relative decline in February handle and revenue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-online-gambling-the-solution\">Is Online Gambling the Solution?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sports betting has grown rapidly over the past few months\nbut if the February revenue report is anything to go by, the industry is beginning\nto stagnate. As it stands, the only remedy seems to be the launch of online and\nmobile sports betting. This is expected to go live sometime this year. It\nshould not be long before that happens but until then, the sportsbooks might need\nto go back to the drawing board and re-strategize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"February may have included a number of high-profile sporting events including the Super Bowl but none of them seemed to be enough to sustain a revenue bump in the Keystone State.
