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.

Lawmakers across the country rushed to pass daily fantasy sports (DFS) legislation when it first appeared on their radar back in 2015. Within two years, 19 states passed DFS legislation.
The legislative progress DFS made in such a short period of time is laudable. However, the end result was near-universal bad legislation.
States are learning that instead of the promised riches, the amount of money earned from DFS is equivalent to the amount of water you can get out of a stone.
Even more egregious is the realization that the way they crafted their DFS laws now allows DFS operators and companies to push the envelope even further. Everything from de facto parlay wagering like FastPick to single-game DFS slates is now ostensibly legal, all thanks to laws that were more or less written by the industry and rushed through state legislatures.
A couple years later, many of these same states are now rushing to legalize traditional sports betting. So far, most of that introduced legislation is just as flawed.

Viktor Blom’s latest career achievement comes at an interesting time in his career.
