PokerStars will become the first web poker site in the Keystone State, as Pennsylvania online poker kicks off November 4th… although it will only be a test launch. Still, the wait is over and the games are about to begin!
At a recent meeting of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board a spokesperson confirmed that they have staff “…prepared to initiate and oversee a test launch this Monday… it would include the testing of a poker game”.
This means that Pennsylvania online poker will not yet be available for everyone… just that they are testing the software and preparing to go live. Also remember that residents of the state will not be playing against anyone outside of Pennsylvania. Not yet, at least. So try not to be disappointed if there are no large multi-table tourney’s like the famous PokerStars Sunday Million.
