According to the latest data released by the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC), the total gaming revenue (GGR) for New York casinos in June 2025 was $55.1 million, a 2.2% decrease year-over-year. This marks the third lowest monthly revenue of the year, only higher than January and February.
The slot machine business performed relatively robustly, with slot GGR amounting to $41.8 million, a slight increase of $0.7 million from the same period last year. Table games, however, saw a significant decline, with GGR dropping to $11.8 million, a decrease of 16.8%; the betting amount was $69.4 million, down 9.1% year-over-year. Poker table GGR slightly increased by $0.862 million, while retail sports betting revenue was $0.6774 million, with a betting amount of $3.8 million. Retail casinos contributed $13.9 million in gaming taxes, with net revenue in June being $41.3 million, a 3% decrease compared to the same period last year.
Despite a seasonal decline in the retail sector, online sports betting continues to grow. The total online betting amount in June dropped to $1.6 billion, the lowest since August 2024, but still represented a 12% year-over-year increase. Online GGR reached $206.5 million, up 54.2% year-over-year, reflecting higher profit margins for operators.
In terms of market share, FanDuel led with a GGR of $86.3 million and a betting amount of $563.7 million; DraftKings had the highest betting amount at $607 million, but a GGR of $69.8 million; Fanatics Betting and Gaming and Caesars achieved GGRs of $17.3 million and $13.8 million, respectively. Platform providers generated a GGR of $101.2 million for the month, with $105.3 million allocated to the state education fund.
The online GGR in May had set a record of $248.9 million, and the drop in June aligns with the seasonal summer trend. Retail revenue in June was also lower than May's $176.4 million, although most stores achieved year-over-year growth except for two casinos. Legislators are currently discussing a lottery gambling ban and new resort approvals, and regulatory dynamics such as deposit limits and venue expansion approvals may impact market performance in the second half of the year.
