On Wednesday, Oct. 31, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) will hold its next board meeting. The meeting is of great interest, as the public may get a better idea of when Pennsylvania legal sports betting will launch.
The schedule is full of petition requests for both Sports Wagering Certificates and Interactive Gaming Certificates.
Sports Wagering Certificate comes with a $10 million price tag. It covers both a retail sportsbook location and mobile sports betting. No doubt, New Jersey’s sports betting revenues encouraged the 13 PA casino licensees to apply.
That 90-day minimum technically gives Penn National, the first sports betting license applicant, the earliest potential start date of Nov. 15. However, PGCB can use discretion in moving that date up should they choose.
This week’s agenda, the following casinos will petition for their license:
Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack
Rivers Casino
SugarHouse Casino
