Over the course of its first month, <strong>$2.5 million in revenue<\/strong> was generated for PokerStars \u2013 the state\u2019s only online poker operator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The revenue brought in from PokerStars represents just under 1% of the state\u2019s entire gambling earnings \u2013 but it is a fairly hefty portion of the state\u2019s online gaming revenue. All of the online gambling activities in Pennsylvania brought in a total of $22.4 million, which means that poker represents <strong>10% of the market share.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A full breakdown of Pennsylvania\u2019s most recent month of online gambling revenue can be seen in the table below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"wp-block-table\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Operator<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Online <\/strong> <strong>Slots<\/strong>  <strong>Revenue<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Online Table   Games<\/strong>  <strong>Revenue<\/strong><\/td><td> <strong>Online<\/strong>  <strong>Poker   Revenue<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td> Mount Airy Casino Resort\/PokerStars PA<\/td><td> $753,570<\/td><td> $805,487<\/td><td> $2,473,137<\/td><\/tr><tr><td> Rivers Casino Philadelphia<\/td><td> $1,875,628<\/td><td> $1,094,594<\/td><td> N\/A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td> Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course<\/td><td> $1,472,941<\/td><td> $219,855<\/td><td> N\/A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td> Parx Casino<\/td><td> $1,025,524<\/td><td> $497,518<\/td><td> N\/A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td> Mohegan Sun Pocono<\/td><td> $442,922<\/td><td> -$36,477<\/td><td> N\/A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td> <strong>Statewide Total<\/strong><\/td><td> <strong>$5,570,585<\/strong><\/td><td> <strong>$2,580,977<\/strong><\/td><td> <strong>$2,473,137<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<p>The impressive debut of PokerStars is due to the brand\u2019s commitment to offering exciting promotions to attract players. In December, the company launched the<strong> first-ever PACOOP (Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker)<\/strong>, a winter tournament series and a Twitch promotion. The combination of all three events is certainly what drew so many players to PokerStars PA during its first month of operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PACOOP was a landmark event in Pennsylvania, as the state\u2019s first-ever regulated online poker tournament. There were over 50 events held, and an impressive <strong>$1 million prize pool <\/strong>was offered \u2013 which was exceed by $200,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was also the introduction of <strong>Twitch integration with the PokerStars platform<\/strong>. Players were offered the chance to win a Platinum Pass, if they linked their accounts, watched PokerStars <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/technology-51101606\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Twitch stream (opens in a new tab)\">Twitch stream<\/a> content and created their own poker streams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the main draw to PokerStars was simply that it was\nthe first operator to offer legal online poker games to residents of\nPennsylvania. Players across the state had been waiting for quite some time for\nonline gambling to be legalized and, once it had been, the roll out was quite\nslow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was way back in 2017 that lawmakers in Pennsylvania legalized online gambling, but the first online casinos didn\u2019t launch until mid-2019. Even then, poker was not available to locals. It was only in December last year that players were able to access online poker games \u2013 so, it\u2019s no wonder there was such a flurry of activity, as <strong>impatient players flocked to PokerStars. <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is just the beginning of online poker in Pennsylvania.\nIt\u2019s likely that as time goes on PokerStars will continue to attract more\nplayers and generate impressive revenue. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Online poker has only been live in Pennsylvania for a month but, in that time, it has made a significant impact on the state\u2019s gambling market.
