Pennsylvania did not stumble into iGaming. The 2017 gambling expansion law was a deliberate, contentious, lobbyist-heavy bill that legalized online slots, online table games, online poker, sports betting, satellite casinos, truck-stop VGTs, and fantasy sports in a single sweep. Almost a decade later, Pennsylvania trails only New Jersey in legal US iGaming revenue and has the highest effective tax rate on online slots in the country.
Pennsylvania legalized commercial casinos in 2004 under Governor Ed Rendell, primarily to fund property tax relief. By 2016, brick-and-mortar revenue was plateauing and the state needed new money. Act 42 of 2017, signed by Governor Tom Wolf, authorized the full digital expansion. The PGCB then spent two years writing rules, vetting operators, and certifying labs before flipping the switch in July 2019.
