Like many states across the US, Delaware’s online gaming revenues have grown substantially year-on-year.

US.- The Delaware Lottery has reported that the state’s igaming revenue for October rose by 161.6 per cent year-on-year.

Online gambling revenue in Delaware reached $643,714, more than twice as much as the $246,092 recorded in October 2019.

But the number represents a 23.4 per cent decline from the $840,146 collected in September, making it the first month since Match to see a drop on the previous month.

Video lottery games and slots remained the main source of revenue accounting for $450,428. Table games came next at $150,01, followed by poker at $43,276.

Dover Downs led the market, taking $234,983 in revenue from a handle of $7m.
