Gaming software giant NetEnt has applied to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for a licence to supply local operators with its online casino games.

Last year, Pennsylvania approved a bill to allow online casino gambling. NetEnt hopes to be able to deliver its table games and slots portfolio to Pennsylvania casinos for their online casino operations.

Erik Nyman, managing director of NetEnt Americas, said: “We are excited to continue our strategic expansion in the US.

“We have enjoyed success in New Jersey and believe that this will continue in Pennsylvania. We will launch with a mix of our table games, video slots, jackpot games and unique features like free spins that have been greatly appreciated by our customers and their players,” he said.

“Our ambition is to be live in Pennsylvania as soon as the market opens.”

Pennsylvania is the second large US state to regulate online casino, after New Jersey, and is the fifth largest state by population.
