New York's commercial casinos have reported a significant increase in gross gaming revenue (GGR) for July 2025. According to unspecified sources, the four casinos collectively generated $60.6 million, marking a 6% increase from the previous period.

Resorts World Catskills recorded the second-highest GGR of the month, with a 0.7% year-over-year increase, reaching $17.8 million in 2025. The most significant increase was recorded at Rivers Casino and Resort, which saw a 12.5% rise from $17.3 million in 2024 to $19.5 million in 2025.
The exact figures for the year-over-year increase in GGR at Tioga Downs and del Lago Resort and Casino are not specified in the article. However, it is known that Tioga Downs generated the least GGR of the four casinos but saw a 2.7% increase year-over-year from $8.9 million to $9.2 million.
Gaming Segments
Slots and Electronic Table Games (ETGs) GGR in July was $45.1 million, representing a 10.6% increase year-over-year. In contrast, table games experienced a 4.6% year-over-year decline, with GGR dropping from $15 million to $14.3 million.
National Context
The U.S. commercial gaming industry achieved a record $19.44 billion in GGR during the second quarter of 2025, marking a 9.8% year-over-year increase. This growth is driven by multiple segments, including traditional in-person gaming, iGaming, and sports betting. For instance, iGaming revenue grew significantly, with a 31.1% increase in June compared to the previous year.
Despite the lack of specific data on individual casinos, the overall trend shows a positive and growing industry both within New York and across the United States. For a detailed comparison across different casinos in New York, specific data on each casino's revenue would be necessary. However, the overall trend indicates a favourable outlook for the commercial gaming industry in the state.
Casino personnel are closely monitoring the gambling trends in New York, as the industry experiences a favorable outlook. The casino culture, bolstered by the rise in casino-specific GGR, has drawn attention to influential personalities such as casino executives and high-stakes gamblers. For instance, the successful strategies employed by casino leaders like those at De Lago Resort and Casino, Resorts World Catskills, Rivers Casino and Resort, and Tioga Downs are shaping current casino-gaming trends. As gamblers continue to flock to casinos for entertainment, the influence of casino culture will likely persist and evolve with future gambling trends.
