The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has received nine petitions from casino license holders requesting approval to conduct Interactive Gaming (iGaming) in the Commonwealth.
All of the petitions received are requesting approval to conduct Non-Peer-to-Peer interactive games that simulate slot machines; Non-Peer-to-Peer interactive games that simulate table games; and Peer-to-Peer interactive games that simulate poker.
Petitions were received from Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, Stadium Casino, Mount Airy, Sands Bethworks Gaming, Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, Valley Forge Convention, Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack and Sugarhouse.
By submitting the petitions by Monday, 16 July 2018, these casino license holders can obtain approval to conduct all three of the categories of interactive games for an authorization fee of $10 million. Until 14 August 2018, casino license holders can still petition the Board to conduct all three or some of the categories of interactive games for an authorization fee of $4m for each.
