The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has granted an Interactive Gaming Manufacturer Conditional License to NetEnt, through its subsidiary NetEnt Americas limited liability companies (LLC).

Pennsylvania represents the second large US state for the regulation of online casino, and the state has a long tradition of gambling, according to the press release sent to BM.

Therefore, NetEnt has signed customer agreements with several gambling operators in the state and had been preparing to launch its games.

“I am very pleased that the market in Pennsylvania has now opened. We are one of the few online casino suppliers offering our games right from the start, and I am convinced that our award-winning online casino games will be much appreciated by players in Pennsylvania”, said Erik Nyman, Managing Director NetEnt Americas LLC.

NetEnt earlier announced it had signed customer agreements with several gambling operators in the state and is preparing to launch its games as soon as the market opens, according to a press statement by the company. A formal market opening date has not yet been announced by the PGCB, however.

“We are very pleased to be in the first round of approved vendors to conduct online gaming in Pennsylvania. This fits well with our strategy to be live with our products on the first day of market opening,” says Erik Nyman, Managing Director of NetEnt Americas LLC.

NetEnt also signed an agreement with Parx Casino in Pennsylvania, as Business Malta earlier reported. NetEnt games will be delivered via the GAN platform.

In October 2017, the Pennsylvania state legislature approved a bill that allows online casino gambling. The state has a long tradition of gambling on the land-based side.

Pennsylvania is the second US state to regulate online casino, and with almost 13 million people, it is the fifth largest state by population.

NetEnt Americas LLC is a US subsidiary of NetEnt AB, providing gaming solutions to online casino operators. NetEnt is listed on NASDAQ Stockholm (NET–B) and employs 1,000 people in Malta, Stockholm, Kiev, Krakow, Gothenburg, Gibraltar and New Jersey

The agreement is valid for an initial five years, with the possibility to extend for two additional five-year terms. Kindred (previously Unibet Group) will offer customers an online sportsbook and casino experience under the Unibet brand, as well as a Unibet sports betting lounge at Mohegan Sun Pocono, according to the press release.

“We’ve aligned with one of the best online casino and sport book operators in regulated online markets which will allow us to offer best in class experience to our existing customers as well as attracting new ones,” says Aviram Alroy, Vice President of Interactive Gaming at Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment. “Introduction of the Kindred offering to the market is a great positive for Mohegan Sun as well as the state of Pennsylvania,” the vice president adds.

“We are excited and proud to extend our US footprint into one of the largest US states to regulate both online sports betting and casino. Finding a strong partner who shares Kindred’s dedication to customer experience and values has been critical, and I am delighted that we have found just that in Mohegan Sun Pocono. I am confident that Kindred and Mohegan Sun Pocono will offer customers in Pennsylvania a truly great online sports betting and casino experience,” says Manuel Stan, Senior Vice President of Kindred US.

Mohegan Sun Pocono is owned by Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment and located outside Plains, Pennsylvania, offering services such as hotel, food and shopping, gaming and entertainment. By combining Mohegan Sun Pocono’s full destination experience with Kindred’s digital customer experience and data analysis capacity, the companies expect to create a “unique and robust offering” in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania will be the second state that Kindred Group has entered, following New Jersey. Kindred Group has vowed to keep investing in expanding its US operations where market conditions support a sustainable business model.

NetEnt says it is working hard on the preparations of entering the regulated market for an online casino in Pennsylvania, which is expected to open soon. The agreement with Parx Online in Pennsylvania is the third agreement for NetEnt ahead of the market opening.

Following the opening, NetEnt will have slot games and table games available at Parx Online, operated by Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment Inc, who also manage Parx Casino, a horse racing venue and the largest casino gaming complex in Pennsylvania.
