Key Points

  • DraftKings (DKNG), MGM Resorts (MGM) and PENN Entertainment (PENN) were flagged by MarketBeat's screener as the casino stocks to watch today, having the highest dollar trading volume in recent days.
  • The casino sector is cyclical and often volatile—its performance closely tracks consumer discretionary spending, tourism and regulatory changes—and a recent surprise regulatory bill helped spur a surge in gaming stocks.
  • Company snapshots: DraftKings is primarily a digital sports betting and iGaming operator, MGM runs large casino-resort operations (Las Vegas Strip, regional and China), and PENN combines regional casinos with interactive brands like ESPN BET and theScore.
  • Five stocks to consider instead of DraftKings.

DraftKings, MGM Resorts International, and PENN Entertainment are the three Casino stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Casino stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that own or operate casinos, gaming resorts, online gambling platforms, or provide related services (e.g., hotel, entertainment, or gaming technology). For investors, they are a cyclical, often volatile sector whose performance closely tracks consumer discretionary spending, tourism and regulatory changes, offering both income potential (dividends) and sensitivity to economic and legal risks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Casino stocks within the last several days.
