This move follows its successful bid at launching online gambling in the state. As such, in the likely case that Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment will have two retail sportsbooks in the Keystone State in addition to the online betting offering. This also means that the operator is still willing to pony up the $10 million sports betting licensing fees and 36 percent effective tax rate on the revenue.

“This collective past experience and success clearly renders GGE qualified to conduct sports wagering. Based on its performance to date, there can be no doubt that the conduct of sports wagering by GGE will significantly expand the positive economic impact the casino currently provides to the Commonwealth, its municipalities and residents,” read a statement by Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment

The Keystone State expects a boom in job creation due to the new development especially if everything goes as expected. From the buzz that we have been receiving, Parx Casino would like to be up and running in the near future, or at least before the football season ends.

“Finally, GGE respectfully urges the Board to review this Petition and grant its Certificate expeditiously so as to enable GGE to commence sports wagering in a timeframe that enables it to capture as much of the popular fall sports seasons and events as possible,” Parx said.
