Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania continue to break revenue records in the iGaming industry. 

Michigan exceeds expectations. 

Michigan brought in $127.4 million in March from online casinos and sports betting. 

Revenue from online casinos was up 19.3% from February’s numbers in the Wolverine state, making up most of the total revenue in March’s tally ($95.1 million). 

Richard S. Kalm, the executive director of the Michigan Gaming Control Board, said in a statement that the tax revenue generated “means more funding for the City of Detroit, K-12 education, economic development, and tribal communities.”
