    Pa. approves first sports-betting licenses for Parx, Hollywood casinos

    Pennsylvania regulators on Wednesday approved the state's first two sports-betting licenses, and if a sudden shortage of flat-screen televisions occurs at local appliance outlets, blame the casinos.





    The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board granted its first two sports-betting licenses to the operators of the Parx Casino in Bensalem and the Hollywood Casino in Dauphin County since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized nationwide sports wagering in May. Parx hopes to start taking bets in November, ahead of peak wagering season: the National Football League playoffs.


    The owner of Parx Casino in Bensalem,
    also wants to accept sports bets at its offtrack racing outlet in the heart of Philadelphia's stadium complex.


    Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment Inc. filed the Parx application Friday with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. A second application would allow sports wagering at the South Philadelphia Turf Club, just a few hundred feet from the venues for the city's professional sports teams.

    Might be worth it.
    Since I moved to Vegas, I watch a lot of sports at the casinos. I end up spending a lot of money on restaurants at the casinos. Sometimes I watch a late movie after the sports are done.
    My point is, the purpose of sportsbooks are to create traffic, get people in the doors. Then people will spend more on whatever is at the casino. That might be the business model they are going with.

    I believe there were 3 casinos who paid the 10mil

    still in question is the 36% tax being charged. Curious to see the lines coming out with a tax that’s 4-5 times the norm

    I just started reading this forum once NJ legalized betting, and I live in NJ.

    I work about five minutes from Parx too, which is nice. I can't access my NJ accounts while at work, since I'm not physically in NJ. I'm glad to hear Parx got it.

    45 minutes from Parx, maybe 10 minutes from Harrah's in Chester. Curious to see the juice. Should be ridiculous.

    They cannot have high juice because of NJ books

    The more books the lower the juice just like offshore

    Sands in Bethlehem hopefully jumps on this train soon. Lehigh Valley solid area to live. Cheaper cost of living.
