Gaming authorities in Pennsylvania have unanimously approved a sports betting license for the Meadows Racetrack & Casino, paving the way for DraftKings to finally enter the state’s online sports betting market.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approved Wednesday a sports wagering license for Meadows Racetrack & Casino about 25 miles south of Pittsburgh.

Casino officials say they were ready to begin taking bets next Tuesday during a test period, and anticipate an official opening by Oct. 10.

Meadows Casino would become the tenth Pennsylvania casino to open a retail sportsbook in the state since last November.

DraftKings, the online fantasy sports providers-turned-bookmaker, will run the Meadows online sportsbook in a co-branded deal. DraftKings' application for an operator's license is scheduled to be considered by the gaming board on Oct. 30, and it anticipates going live in November.
