Ready for some rivalry and cross-state action? Pennsylvania’s two NFL teams square off on Sunday for the first time since 2016<\/strong>. The undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong> will host the one-win Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong> this Sunday, and it appears PA will allow some fans in the stands for the first time this season.<\/p>\n

Looks like poker rooms<\/strong> could be back in a few weeks following several months of COVID-19 shutdowns.<\/p>\n

And while casinos are back in operation, the virus has taken a huge toll on the workforce.<\/p>\n

Eagles vs. Steelers Sunday, with limited number of fans<\/span><\/h2>\n

Implausibly, the Eagles are atop first place<\/strong> in the NFC East<\/strong> with a 1-2-1<\/strong> record even with their dreadful play. They will meet the Steelers, who are 3-0 and atop the AFC North, in Pittsburgh at 1 p.m.<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania online sportsbooks<\/strong> list the Steelers at 7 or 7.5-point favorites<\/strong> with the over\/under at 44.5<\/strong>. PlayPennsylvania<\/em> has the odds and betting information for the highly anticipated Week 5 matchup here.<\/p>\n

And thanks to some easing of crowd restrictions<\/strong> in Pennsylvania, it looks as though as many as 5,500 fans could attend Sunday’s Battle of Pennsylvania game at Heinz Field<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Poker rooms in PA can reopen soon<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board spokesman Doug Harbach <\/strong>confirms some casinos have submitted plans<\/strong> and safety protocols for review to reopen their poker rooms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There are no specific dates<\/strong> or details for which properties yet.<\/p>\n

But Harrah’s<\/strong> has shut its room permanently. And Wind Creek<\/strong> as of recently still had its poker room filled with slots.<\/p>\n

Virus trimmed casino workforce<\/span><\/h2>\n

The headline at PlayPennsylvania<\/em> captured the news starkly: PA Casino Jobs Plummet by 41% in 2019\/20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The recent 2019-2020 Gaming Diversity Report showed the grim statistic.<\/p>\n

A year earlier<\/strong>, Pennsylvania’s 12 casinos had 16,717 employees. On June 30 this year<\/strong>, the same dozen properties had just 9,883 employees<\/strong>. That’s a reduction of 6,834 jobs<\/strong>. Upper-level employees accounted for 1,614 job slots<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And while many are back, approximately 900<\/strong> casino employees have permanently lost their jobs<\/strong>, according to the report.<\/p>\n
