Pennsylvania is now the second largest state for commercial casinos.

No Indian Casinos

There are no Indian casinos, Indian bingo halls or Indian gaming in Pennsylvania.

However there are two Native American tribes that own and operate gambling facilities in the state. Both are licensed and regulated by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board as commercial gaming operations. Neither is controlled by the U.S. Department of Interior.

The first tribe to invest in Pennsyslvania was the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut. It owns and operates the Mohegan Sun Pocono, a casino and racetrack located outside Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. the tribe purchased the property January 25, 2005.

The second tribe to invest in Pennsylvania was the Poarch Creek Indian Tribe of Alabama. In May 2019 the tribe purchased the Sands Bethlehem for $1.3 billion and renamed it the Wind Creek Bethlehem. This is a state-licensed, commercial casino rather than a federally regulated Indian casino. it is managed and operated by Wind Creek Hospitality, the casino and entertainment operation of the Poarch Creek Indian Tribe.

Pennsylvania legalized online gambling as of the summer of 2019, making it the fourth state to join the party after New Jersey, Delaware, and Nevada. The Keystone state comesjust second to Nevada with the largest gambling market in the United States.

Before 2019, gamblers in Pennsylvania were either playing poker in their friends' basement or driving to the closest brick and mortar to try their luck on a game of slots. Now that onlinegambling has been legalized in the state, players can skip the road trip and sign up for an online casino to play their favorite games.

Land-based casinos in Pennsylvania can hold up to 5,000 machines and offer games like video poker, slots, blackjack, roulette, three card poker, and craps, while online casinos have muchsmaller libraries but still offer the classics.

A player must be over the age of 20 and located in the state's borders to access an online casino or enter a brick and mortar.

Online Casinos in Pennsylvania

While online casinos and poker have been legal in Pennsylvania since 2017, it took two years for the first casino to come out with an online platform.

Compared to New Jersey who started launching online casinos way back in 2013, this is still a new industry for PA. Regardless, there are already numerous online casinos for players to sign upfor.

Each platform has hundreds of games in the library with competitive bonuses to offer new players.

Top 10 Reasons to Play in an Online Casino

2. Available 24/7
3. Claim big welcome bonuses
4. Save money on travel and other amenities at the land-based casino (drinks, food)
5. No waiting in long lines
6. Collect points every time you play online to use on casino rewards
7. Better RTP on games
8. Avoid social interaction
9. Play for free to practice a new game
10. Huge game selection

Why playing online is better for you

Online casinos are becoming extremely popular in the state, mainly because of convenience and the money players are saving. We've listed a few of the main reasons why it would bebeneficial to sign up for an online casino instead of head to the brick and mortar to wager.

• Convenience: Online casinos are readily available 24/7. You can play whenever you like from anywhere inside the state.
• Money: Everyone wants to save money, and staying in to play is exactly how you can do that. By choosing to play at an online casino versus the land-based, you will save moneyon gas expenses and drinks or other activities you may be tempted with on the casino floor.
