Pennsylvania gambles the 2nd most out of every state in the USA according to a study done by Legal US Poker Sites.

Legal US Poker Sites, which “covers poker legislation and industry news,” looked at four factors to determine the states that gamble the most: the search volume of gambling/casinos related items per month, the number of casinos per state, the estimated spending on gambling per person in each state, and the estimated percentage of peoples’ income that is spent on gambling.

Pennsylvania placed 2nd, with a score of 31.25/100. The state only fell behind Nevada, which placed 1st with a score of 94.93/100 according to Legal US Poker Sites.

The top ten biggest gambling states are listed below:

Rank	State	Spending per capita	% of Average Income Spent	Number of Casinos	Casino/ Gambling’ Search Volume	Total Index Score (/100)
1	Nevada	$6,188.66	90.27%	229	62,200	94.93
