Although Pennsylvania does not currently allow online gaming, a number of bills have been introduced in the state in an effort to regulate such activity.
Various reports in the US media suggest in the event that legislation passes in the state, then 888 and Mount Airy will be allowed to offer internet gaming and online poker services in Pennsylvania.
Under the agreement, 888 would use Mount Airy’s interactive gaming license to launch an 888-branded website in the state.
The operator brokered the deal through the All American Poker Network, a joint venture between 888 and the Avenue Capital Group that is already active in the regulated states of New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware.
