Mohegan Sun paid the full price of <strong>$12 million<\/strong> for all three licenses.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the latest applications, <strong>seven online gaming licenses still remain unclaimed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"remaining_pa_interactive_gaming_licenses\">Remaining PA interactive gaming licenses<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Meadows Racetrack &amp; Casino<\/strong> and <strong>Lady Luck Casino<\/strong> are the only two casinos that have yet to apply for an online gaming license.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Churchill Downs Inc.<\/strong>, the owner of Presque Isle Downs will soon take managerial control of Lady Luck. Churchill Downs also announced its plans to offer online sports betting in <strong>New Jersey<\/strong> under the <strong>Golden Nugget<\/strong> license.<\/p>\n<p>With Churchill busy expanding in numerous states, it may just elect to go forward with online gaming with Presque Isle Downs and promote it at Lady Luck.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Penn National<\/strong> recently assumed the lease of Meadows Racetrack. The company already applied for all three licenses through <strong>Hollywood Casino<\/strong>. There is <strong>no indication<\/strong> that it intends to apply for additional licenses through Meadows.<\/p>\n<p>The likelihood of the two remaining casinos applying for a license might be slim, but not out of the realm of possibility. As it stands right now, however, there are seven remaining online gaming licenses available.<\/p>\n<p>On condition of unclaimed licenses, the application process will open to companies <strong>outside of Pennsylvania<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Protocols for this process are still <strong>under review<\/strong>, including the eligibility requirements and the actual application process.<\/p>\n<p>It is one thing to have a casino already licensed by the PGCB apply; it is an entirely different thing to have a company that <strong>hasn\u2019t been vetted<\/strong> by the state apply.<\/p>\n<p>The topic will be on the agenda for the Sept. PGCB meeting. It will likely be Oct. before the application process opens.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"pgcb_awarded_its_first_interactive_gaming_certificates\">PGCB awarded its first Interactive Gaming Certificates<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While the state considers its next move regarding unclaimed online gaming licenses, it began <strong>awarding licenses<\/strong> this week.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the PGCB awarded the first Interactive Gaming Certificates to three of the first nine casinos to apply:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Harrah\u2019s Casino Philadelphia<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Parx Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mount Airy Resort Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don\u2019t get too excited, though. The PGCB still has to approve <strong>online service providers<\/strong> before the review and testing of internal protocols and equipment can begin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>R. Douglas Sherman<\/strong>, the board\u2019s chief counsel, was asked when online gaming will commence. \u201cI couldn\u2019t even begin to take a guess,\u201d he said to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.philly.com\/philly\/business\/pennsylvania-pgcb-approves-online-gaming-licenses-parx-harrahs-mt-airy-20180815.html\"><strong>Inquirer<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The PGCB issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov\/?pr=799\">press release<\/a> following the awarding of the gaming licenses committing to taking up the remaining six initial applications by October 2018.
