The long awaited dream of PokerStars in Pennsylvania is finally becoming a reality! The Gaming Control Board signed off on two more interactive gaming petitions during a Wednesday meeting in Harrisburg, and PokerStars is one of them.
PokerStars received authorization to offer its full suite of online gambling products, while with Mohegan Sun Pocono is also conditionally approved for online slots and table games. Mohegan withdrew the poker portion of its application.
PokerStars’ parent company The Stars Group will serve Pennsylvania under the license of Mount Airy. The two first disclosed their relationship in August, also confirming plans to offer sports betting via the BetStars brand.
Neither the casino nor the operator has applied for PA sports betting to date, but Mount Airy was one of the first approved to offer interactive gaming. Regulators signed off on its paperwork just days after the partnership announcement.
