List of PA gambling sites with online slots Since then, more sites have began trickling in and we can expect up to a dozen to be fully operational in the coming years. Online casinos kicked off in PA in July 2019 where we saw three online casinos launch that month. Two of the extra licenses were later purchased by Golden Nugget and MGM, which operate online casinos in neighboring New Jersey. Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh does offer online sports betting and now slots and operates under its sister casino Play SugarHouse which is also by owned by Rush Street Interactive. Application fees were $4 million each for licenses for online slots, table games, or poker, or a $10 million fee for a combination license for all three.Īll of the PA casinos purchased the online casino licenses except Rivers Casino, Meadows Casino and Lady Luck Casino.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board set aside licenses for each brick-and-mortar casino operator, with any unpurchased license offered to qualified out-of-state operators.
