HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD: PENN NATIONAL TO LAUNCH ONLINE CASINO JULY 15

Hollywood Casino is new to the online new casinos scene, but its interactive partner, IGT, is not. The company is a major player in the online slot games, providing titles for a number of properties. Some of the most notable IGT slot titles are:

Hollywood is a bit of a surprise player in the PA online casino game. However, its brick-and-mortar location is one that is most likely to benefit from added online casino revenue. The property is located near Harrisburg, PA, not in a major metropolitan area. Padding brick-and-mortar revenue with statewide online casino revenue will likely have a more resonant impact than a Philadelphia-area casino like Parx.

Presumably, Penn’s other PA casino, The Meadows, will also promote the Hollywood Online Casino site.

However, it is worth noting that Hollywood continues to be at the forefront of the gambling expansion in PA. It still does not have an online betting app ready, but it was the first retail sportsbook to open in the state. Penn National does have a betting app in the works in tandem with William Hill Sportsbook.
