Pennsylvania’s only online poker room also compares favorable to New Jersey.
These days when it comes online gaming, poker usually takes a back seat to sports betting and casino games in terms of how much revenue it generates, but in its first month of operation in Pennsylvania, PokerStars added more to its coffers than all but one sportsbook in the state, land-based or online.
According to revenue figures released by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for the month of November, PokerStars PA collected nearly $2 million in rake at cash games and fees from tournaments. When considering that it was November 7 before PokerStars was able to offer its first 24 hour day of the month, the prorated revenue figure for the month exceeds $2.25 million.
