Philly Casino Tests Online Sports Betting For Pennsylvania

Legal online sports wagering began in Pennsylvania yesterday afternoon, as Philadelphia's SugarHouse Casino kicked off a "state-supervised test period of its app and web-based opportunities." The initial eight-hour test took wagers from 4:00pm-12:00am ET. It will be "repeated during wider hours" today and tomorrow. SugarHouse and Pittsburgh's Rivers Casino both opened sportsbooks within their casinos in December, and it was "just a matter of time before they began accepting sports wagers online as well" ( PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE, 5/29 ).

Quote of the Day
We’ve heard from the league that ... the NBA had been covered the same way for the last 30 or 40 years and ‘When is someone going to have a new idea?’ And so this was kind of that new idea that made us think we can approach the game differently and give the audience a new way to engage in the game.
-- NBC Sports Executive Producer Sam Flood, on the decision to place a game analyst on each bench during “Peacock NBA Monday” broadcasts this season.
