The US state of Pennsylvania has entered the US sports betting sector following the award by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Wednesday of the state’s first two licenses, which were awarded to Parx Casino in Bucks County and Hollywood Casino in Dauphin County.
The certificates don’t take immediate effect, but both casinos expect to launch on-site sports betting later this fall according to PennLive.
Pennsylvania becomes the sixth US state to legalise and implement sports betting, with more licenses almost certainly in prospect.
Last month, Parx and Harrah’s Casino in Chester were approved for Internet-based gambling, although the Gaming Control Board at the time did not establish a date for the beginning of the “interactive gaming” at the casinos.
