The <strong>Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board<\/strong> Tweeted the news:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Gaming Control Board has received first petition to request offering sports wagering from Mountainview Thoroughbred Racing, operator of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HollywoodPenn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@HollywoodPenn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 PGCB (@PAGamingControl) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PAGamingControl\/status\/1030483340464476160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 17, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The license cost the company<strong> $10 million<\/strong>. The fee is a one-time fee. If approved, Penn National can offer both<strong> live and online sports betting<\/strong> in the state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>William Hill<\/strong>, one of the largest European sports betting companies, will partner with Penn National for both brick and mortar and mobile betting.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"application_follows_latest_update_to_sports_betting_regulations\">Application follows latest update to sports betting regulations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The application comes just two days after the PGCB released the latest<strong> temporary sports betting regulations<\/strong>. Many casinos said they were waiting to see what the regulations look like before formally applying. It appears Penn National approved of the latest set of updates and decided to pull the trigger.<\/p>\n<p>Per the new regulations, casinos must submit sports betting applications <strong>90 days<\/strong> in advance of launch. That puts launch in mid-November. However, the chairman of PGCB can s<strong>horten that window<\/strong>, so it is possible Penn National starts taking bets earlier than that.<\/p>\n<p>PGCB\u2019s next meeting is on <strong>Sept. 12<\/strong>, which is the earliest they can approve Penn National\u2019s application though, so don\u2019t expect them to take wagers during the first few weeks of football action.<\/p>\n<p>The post
