Hollywood Casino App Now Available in Pennsylvania

PENN Entertainment, known for its Hollywood Casinos, has recently launched its new Hollywood Casino app that will be exclusively available in Pennsylvania, as part of its campaign to become one of the best online casinos in the U.S.

The launch of the app was a surprise, as Chief Executive Officer Jay Snowden stated during their 2024 Q1 earnings conference, where he noted that the company will have the casino app ready to go in very early 2025.

Meanwhile, Aaron LaBerge, Chief Technology Officer at PENN Entertainment, stated in a press release that the decision to give Pennsylvania the stand-alone Hollywood Casino App is part of the company’s dedication of providing stellar casino-first experience for their audience, 

“With four Hollywood Casino properties in the state, the app leverages our trusted retail brand and creates a seamless connection between our online and retail gaming experiences. We look forward to bringing this enhanced Hollywood Casino experience to more iCasino markets in early 2025, pending regulatory approvals.” LaBerge added.

What are the Features of the Hollywood Casino App?

Hollywood Casino features over 700 online casino games, daily promotions, and Jackpots.

Their variety of online casino games include online slots, table games and live dealer content such as bespoke live dealer tables and a dedicated ‘Casino Floor’ lobby that allows users to easily find virtual versions of their favorite slot games from PENN’s retail properties. 

It also features original titles from PENN Game Studios, PENN’s in-house casino game development studio that has produced a number of popular online games, including Legendary Larry and Wuji Mines.

Moreover, the Hollywood Casino App is available on Android, iOS and desktop, and customers in the Keystone State can access Hollywood Casino through either the ESPN BET app or through the new Hollywood Casino app using their same ESPN BET login credentials.

This allows for a seamless experience across PENN’s online betting and casino platforms. PENN plans to launch Hollywood Casino in additional jurisdictions in 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.

In terms of responsible gambling, PENN is committed to providing a safe environment for all customers to enjoy gaming responsibly. ESPN BET and Hollywood Casino offer players comprehensive Responsible Gaming tools and resources, including limits on time, deposits, and wagering amounts.

Once more territories become available, PENN Entertainment aims to have their Hollywood Casino App to be one of the top-most real money online casino options for players within the 

U.S.

What’s Next for PENN Entertainment, Inc.?

 PENN Entertainment, Inc., along with its subsidiaries (“PENN,” or the “Company”), is North America’s leading provider of integrated entertainment, sports content, and casino gaming experiences. 

To date, PENN operates in 26 jurisdictions throughout North America, with a broadly diversified portfolio of casinos, racetracks and online sports betting and iCasino offerings under well-recognized brands. 

This includes the Hollywood Casino, L’Auberge, ESPN BET and theScore BET Sportsbook and Casino. In the event that online casinos become more accepted and legalized in more U.S. states, the chances of having the Hollywood Casino App becoming accessible across North America is a distinct possibility.

Moreover, the legalization of online casinos can also pave the way for the possibility of having crypto casino options to become more accessible to players, regardless of their location. But until then, the conversation is still open for legislators to discuss.
