Despite that decrease, May’s numbers were 8% higher than the same period last year, when revenue totaled $413.1 million.

Legal gambling and fantasy contests last month generated $181.6 million in tax revenue for Pennsylvania.

Of the state’s 16 licensed casinos, Hollywood Casino at Penn National in Dauphin County saw the highest revenue in May, bringing in more than $62.8 million.
