Delaware saw a huge increase in online gambling revenue in August over 2015 and followed up a record June with another solid month for online play.
The state’s online sites recorded a 54 percent year-on-year increase in net revenue to $244,387. This follows a record-breaking June in which the state’s three licensed sites earned a combined $281,000.
Delaware Park is the casino market leader in the state, with net revenue up 65 percent to $130,501, showing strong growth in table games and video lottery products.
In second place was Dover Downs with net revenue of $95,268, up 83 percent over the previous year. Harrington was up 54 percent year-on-year $43,229.
Like neighboring New Jersey, the strongest growth was seen in online slots and table games, opposed to online poker. Though Delaware and Nevada—the third U.S. state to allow online gambling—online poker is hurt by the state’s small player pool. Online poker revenue was $29,155, down 7 percent from last year.
