PA Gambling Guide: If You Don’t Like Philadelphia, ‘You Don’t Know Nuthin’
Tourist books for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, spotlight the city’s many attractions, from Independence Hall to the Liberty Bell to the “Rocky steps” of Sylvester Stallone’s boxing movies.
What many gloss over is a widespread attitude that somehow combines civic pride and a middle finger for the rest of the world.
For an example, check out Philadephia Eagles center Jason Kelce’s speech at the parade honoring the 2017-18 Super Bowl champions. Around the 4:20 mark, after bellowing a two-word response to anyone who doubted the team, Kelce leads the estimated 700,000 fans in an unofficial anthem:
“We’re from Philly, (effen) Philly,
“No one like us; we don’t care.”
Whether you relish that mindset or not, Philadelphia, the first capital of the United States and the country’s sixth-largest metropolis, has plenty to recommend it as a potential home for anyone wanting to get in on the ground floor of Pennsylvania’s online poker experience.
The state approved full-fledged Internet gaming in November 2017, and most of the 12 land-based casinos are expected to launch online operations in 2018. Pennsylvania joins New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada as the only states with legal online casino gaming. It is by far the most populous of the four, which should lead to a good variety of poker offerings.
