US – Pennsylvania to allow multiple skins in online gaming
By Phil - 6 April 2018
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has approved Temporary Rules, addressing the issue of the deployment of interactive gaming “skins.”
Skins are the deployment of different branded gaming sites under an umbrella ownership. For example, Golden Nugget is dominating the New Jersey online market by uniting three different brands; GoldenNuggetCasino.com,BetfairCasino.com and PlaySugarHouse.com.
A similar set up will be used in Pennsylvania.
Executive Director Kevin O’Toole said:”What the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board did at its public meeting of April 4, 2018 was to approve temporary regulations that enable a very open and competitive market for internet gaming while at the same time assuring transparency and accountability for the consumers. Under these temporary regulations there is no limitation on the number of skins that a slot machine licensee may employ to deliver games, but every “skin” that a casino offers must be branded in a manner that makes it clear that it is offered on behalf of the slot machine licensee consistent with language of the act.”
