PlayLive! Casino has arrived in Pennsylvania months ahead of its brick-and-mortar counterparts. The newest PA online casino will conduct a mandated three-day soft launch on Tuesday, 2 p.m.-midnight, Wednesday 2-midnight and Thursday 12-midnight.

Pending the completion of the test phase and Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approval, the site will operate 24/7 starting Friday, Aug. 14.

Live! online casino app is available on Android and desktop at playlive.com. However it is not yet available in the App Store for iOS.

An iGaming platform coming before the physical casino is a first. The Cordish Gaming Group plans to open Live! Casino Philadelphia and a mini-casino in Westmoreland, PA in 2021.

The addition of PlayLive! makes PA home to eleven online casinos. To start, it didn’t waste time presenting a substantial (for Pennsylvania) library of games.

GAN and Cordish in PA

In May 2020, GAN announced that Cordish Group chose them to supply the software platform for their new PlayLive! online casino in Pennsylvania. At the time, the anticipated arrival was Fall 2020.

Dermot Smurfit, CEO of GAN commented:

“Bringing Pennsylvania’s newest casino online later this year will be a genuine privilege, and we look forward to supporting their on-property gaming business by leveraging our U.S. patented iBridge Framework, bridging the Internet gambling experience with that of retail gaming. Online will remain the growth driver of this Industry for decades to come, not just in Pennsylvania but across the nation.”

In the still-early stages of the pandemic in May, Cordish seemed to have an eye on blending the online/in-person gaming experience.

Robert J. Norton, President of Cordish Gaming Group said:

“With our established relationship, GAN was the logical provider of our enterprise platform for launching real money Internet gambling and offers Cordish the ability to extend on-property rewards into the online channel, which has been shown to increase loyalty amongst players of simulated Gaming.”
