While the new online casinos are expected to offer both slots and various table games, it's unclear at present whether online poker will be available right away. The soft launch would entail sites being open for game play for limited hours in order to control traffic and be able to test payment mechanisms, geolocation, and other legally required measures. Both of those casinos already have had online sports betting up and running - SugarHouse since late May, Parx since late June. Penn Bets speculates that Rush Street Gaming, operator of the SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia and Rivers Casino Pittsburgh could also be set to go on Monday. According to Doug Harbach of the PGCB, Parx Casino is ready for at least a soft launch of its online casinos on Monday, with Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course 'also working toward being ready.'Īdditionally, 'a third could be ready, but that decision would occur just before the 15th,' Harbach explained. Penn Bets reports that 'two, possibly three casinos' are expected to launch on Monday. Who is ready to launch their online casino? That news came about a year-and-a-half after the state's passage of legislation to expand gambling in the state, including online. More specifically, it was mid-April when Kevin O'Toole, executive director of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board revealed the 10 iGaming certificate holders and three iGaming operators in the state of the July 15 commencement date when online games could go live. Online poker players in Pennsylvania have been eyeing next Monday on the calendar since the spring when the state's regulators announced that the 'live period for interactive gaming will commence on July 15, 2019.'
