Rhode Island iGaming hit record revenue in May 2025 as online casino games continued to attract growing player interest statewide. According to the Rhode Island Lottery, real money online casino platforms generated their highest-ever monthly net gaming revenue.
Combined wagers jumped from US$61.2 million to US$129.1 million, reflecting a 110.9% year-over-year increase. Meanwhile, combined prizes rose 110.8% to US$124.3 million.
In particular, online slot games led revenue growth, earning US$3.7 million. Online table games followed with US$1.1 million in revenue. These figures marked annual increases of 128.9% for slots and 73.7% for table games.
May’s revenue exceeded April’s US$4.8 million total, which already showed a 113.5% annual gain. Clearly, May set a new monthly high.
Initiatives from Local iGaming Operators a Huge Factor in Record Revenue
Additionally, operators credited player growth to better mobile apps, live-dealer games, and personalized promotions on real money online casino platforms. These improvements kept users engaged longer and encouraged more frequent betting.
Moreover, the state enforced strong regulations. Rhode Island used geolocation and age checks to ensure safe and legal gaming practices. This transparency built lasting trust between operators and players in the state’s online casino games market.
Beyond that, the surge benefited public funds. Rhode Island’s general fund collected more tax revenue from the expanding online casinos industry. With this financial boost, state leaders view iGaming as a reliable and growing revenue source.
Player activity also spiked. Gamblers placed tens of millions in wagers, with online slot games leading earnings once again. At the same time, table games added variety, supporting balanced growth.
Signs Point to Continued Growth for Rhode Island iGaming Market
Looking ahead, operators plan new releases and promotions this summer. Analysts predict strong revenue trends will continue into the next quarter.
May 2025 marked a milestone for Rhode Island iGaming. With booming online casino games, record wagers, and solid oversight, the Ocean State remains a rising iGaming leader.
