Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack has applied for a Pennsylvania online gambling license to operate online slots, online table games, and online poker. It is one of nine PA casino license holders that applied for the license. Unibet Online Casino PA launched in Pennsylvania last year. It features the widest variety of online slots and exclusive games, including multiple Blackjack variants. Unibet offers new users a strong deposit bonus, ongoing promos, a large jackpot game, and an online sportsbook option with a shared wallet.
Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack has applied for a Pennsylvania online gambling license to operate online slots, online table games, and online poker.
It is one of nine PA casino license holders that applied for the license. Each did so just ahead of the state’s the July 16, 2018 deadline to apply to operate all three forms of online gambling in the state at a reduced cost of $10 million.
It could have waited until after the deadline to apply for individual licenses for the three different types of online gambling. These come at a cost of $4 million each. Since it did not, Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack is likely interested in all three.
Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack is the only applicant whose parent company, Caesars Entertainment, already has a hand in all three different types of online gambling in the US.
Caesars Interactive Entertainment US online gambling sites
In fact, Caesars Entertainment runs an online poker site in Nevada and various online poker and casino sites in New Jersey, including a casino site under the Harrah’s banner.
HarrahsCasino.com operates under the Caesars Interactive Entertainment New Jersey internet gaming license. It does so alongside various other online casino and online poker sites, including:
- CaesarsCasino.com
- The World Series of Poker-branded online poker site WSOP.com
- 888poker.com
- 888casino.com
Powered by 888 software
Most of the sites us software provided by popular Gibraltar-based online gaming operator and platform provider 888 Holdings.
HarrahsCasino.com uses 888’s Dragonfish online casino software platform, which offers both mobile and browser-based interfaces. Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack is likely to use the same software platform for its online slots and online table games operations.
However, CaesarsCasino.com switched over to the NYX Open Platform System in 2016, vastly improving the number of games it offers. Therefore, Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack is just as likely to launch online slots and table games operations using the NYX platform. Particularly considering it will be Caesars Interactive Entertainment’s flagship PA online casino site.
Although, the 888 platform has also added new online casino content from both NYX and NetEnt, making its offering more robust and attractive as well.
Either way, players will likely see most traditional online table games and a wide variety of different online slots featured on the Harrah’s Philadelphia online casino site. However, none of it will likely be thought of as out of the box.
It’s also worth noting Caesars Entertainment online gambling sites in New Jersey allow players to convert loyalty club points into Caesars’ industry-leading Total Rewards program. Therefore, the same should be expected from Harrah’s Philadelphia. Total Rewards points can be earned and redeemed at more than 40 Caesars properties around the globe.
Harrah’s Philadelphia and online poker
Things are much easier to envision when it comes to Harrah’s Philadelphia and online poker.
Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack is home to a World Series of Poker-branded poker room. Therefore, it will likely host a WSOP-branded PA online poker room as well.
The WSOP sites in Nevada and New Jersey now share player pools with 888-powered sites in Delaware, and each other, thanks to an interstate online gaming agreement signed by those three states. Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack will likely launch a PA WSOP-branded online poker site and eagerly anticipate Pennsylvania joining that agreement. It will ultimately give Caesars Interactive Entertainment the largest legal and regulated online poker network in the US.
