Pennsylvania operates one of the largest regulated casino markets in the United States, driven by two decades of legislative expansion and a geography that connects major northeastern population centers. The state licenses 17 commercial casinos supervised by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), ranging from large hotel-resort complexes to Category 4 mini-casinos authorized under the 2017 Expanded Gaming Act; this directory features the most prominent properties, and the full list of licensed operators is available at the PGCB’s official site (gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov). Online casino gaming, sports betting, and poker are all fully legal, making Pennsylvania a complete full-service gambling jurisdiction.
Pennsylvania’s modern casino industry traces directly to Act 71 of 2004, the Race Horse Development and Gaming Act, which authorized up to 14 casino licenses across three categories: Category 1 (slot machines at existing horse tracks), Category 2 (standalone destination casinos), and Category 3 (resort casinos). The bill authorized up to 61,000 slot machines statewide. The first casino under this framework opened in 2006, with table games following in July 2010 after a separate legislative amendment.
For years Pennsylvania had the curious distinction of having slot machines before it had table games. The 2010 legislation corrected this, and casinos quickly added blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, and poker rooms. Within three years of opening, Pennsylvania’s gaming industry was generating more slot revenue than any US state except Nevada.
The 2017 Expanded Gaming Act fundamentally reshaped the landscape. It legalized online casino games, online poker, and online slots, along with retail sports wagering. It also created Category 4 mini-casino licenses, allowing operators to run smaller satellite facilities with up to 750 slot machines and 30 table games at locations outside the protected radius of existing casinos. Several of these satellite venues — including Hollywood Casino York, Hollywood Casino Morgantown, and Parx Casino Shippensburg — opened between 2020 and 2022. In April 2026, Pennsylvania joined the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), allowing Pennsylvania online poker players to compete in shared pools with players in Delaware, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, and West Virginia.
The PGCB licenses commercial casinos under four categories. Category 1 casinos are attached to horse racing venues — Parx Casino in Bensalem and Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville both operate under this license, combining live thoroughbred racing with full casino floors and earning revenue from both sectors. Category 2 licenses cover standalone destination casinos built specifically for gambling; Rivers Casino Philadelphia, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh, and Wind Creek Bethlehem hold this designation. Category 3 applies to resort casinos with substantial hotel and amenity components, including Mount Airy Casino Resort in the Poconos, Valley Forge Casino Resort near Philadelphia, and Harrah’s Philadelphia in Chester. Category 4 mini-casinos are the newest category, limited by law to locations at least 25 miles from any Category 1, 2, or 3 casino.
There are no tribal casinos in Pennsylvania. Wind Creek Bethlehem is owned by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians through their Wind Creek Hospitality subsidiary, but it operates under a commercial license, not a tribal compact.
Parx Casino in Bensalem is the highest-grossing casino in Pennsylvania and consistently ranks among the top ten in the United States by annual revenue. Situated on 400 acres adjacent to Parx Racing (formerly Philadelphia Park), the property features over 3,000 slot machines, more than 150 table games, a 30-table poker room, and multiple dining outlets. The Xclub loyalty program offers four tiers — Xclub Players, Xclub Premium, Xclub Elite, and Xclub Elite Royal — linking land-based play to an online gaming partner.
Wind Creek Bethlehem is built on the former site of Bethlehem Steel’s historic steel plant, a National Historic Landmark. The 300,000-square-foot gaming floor is one of the largest on the East Coast, with over 3,000 slot machines and more than 200 table games. Wind Creek Hospitality acquired the property from Las Vegas Sands in 2019 for $1.3 billion. The Wind Creek Rewards program offers tier-based earning on slots (one tier point per $5 played) and table games, with points redeemable across all Wind Creek properties including Caribbean resorts in Aruba and Curacao.
Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia opened in 2021 at 900 Packer Ave in South Philadelphia, immediately adjacent to the Sports Complex where the Eagles, Phillies, 76ers, and Flyers all play. Developed by The Cordish Companies, it offers more than 2,000 slot machines, 150 table games, a poker room, and a full-service hotel tower. The property filled the demand gap from a dense urban Philadelphia market that was previously unserved by a casino within city limits.
Rivers Casino Pittsburgh sits on the North Shore of the Allegheny River within walking distance of Acrisure Stadium and PNC Park. Owned by Rush Street Gaming, the casino offers over 2,600 gaming machines and 100 table games. The Landing Hotel, a 219-room property attached to the casino, opened in 2018. Rush Rewards is the loyalty program, with multiple tiers from Rush Rewards standard through Chairman Club status.
Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville combines active thoroughbred racing with a full casino floor, making it one of the most complete gaming entertainment destinations in central Pennsylvania. Hollywood Casino properties — Penn National, York, and Morgantown — all participate in Penn Entertainment’s mychoice rewards program, which accumulates status across all Penn Entertainment casinos nationwide.
Pennsylvania was among the first states to fully activate online casino gaming when the 2017 Expanded Gaming Act went live. As of 2026, 24 licensed online casino platforms operate under PGCB oversight — each tethered to a land-based Pennsylvania casino license. Pennsylvania consistently generates the highest monthly iGaming revenue of any US state — March 2026 produced a record $330.8 million in gross gaming revenue from online casino play alone. Sports betting is equally active, with 11 licensed sportsbooks competing in the market. The April 2026 MSIGA entry further expanded the competitive online poker landscape. For the current list of approved online operators, visit the PGCB official website.
