NetEnt enters the Pennsylvania online gambling market by signing casino giant Penn as its first partner in the state.

The games developer’s share price was up almost 15% this morning after it reported a 10% rise in revenue to SEK 449m (€43m/$49m) and 11% increase in operating profit to around $19m for the three months to the end of September.

During the quarter – the first full period since Therese Hillman became CEO on a permanent basis – Stockholm-listed NetEnt benefitted from the release of its new game based on hit film Jumanji, launched with British Columbia Lottery Corporation in Canada and Norsk Tipping in Norway, and signed its first customer in Lithuania.

It also began offering its games with Hard Rock’s new website in New Jersey, and today announced it has signed up its first customer for the soon-to-be-live Pennsylvania market. NetEnt’s games will be available on Penn Interactive’s Hollywood Casino website.
