June 23: FanDuel releases first stand-alone casino app in PA

FanDuel Casino is still available within the FanDuel Sportsbook app. New casino players can either sign up for an account or use their existing FanDuel Sportsbook account to log in and play.
General manager of FanDuel Casino Jesse Chemtob told Play Pennsylvania:
“We looked at this as a natural evolution of the casino product offering. Our goal is to provide an entertaining experience, one that people are excited to play. Trying to drive innovation in the marketplace over the long term will be how we continue to compete and take market share.”
The app and the sportsbook currently have the same titles.

Frontline health care workers are heroes, and one is now a jackpot winner, too.
A Heidelberg, PA, woman playing on PlaySugarHouse from her phone hit the Divine Fortune jackpot for $129,931.43.
The 32-year-old activities director at a senior living facility wagered $2 on the progressive slot. She says she plans to use the winnings on home improvements and a nice vacation.
The winner, identified only as Jamie, said no one at the senior living facility where she works has contracted the coronavirus. She said:
“We haven’t stopped working since the beginning of the coronavirus [pandemic], and we’re working even harder and longer than before it began. This win is a big treat, and I can’t begin to describe how incredible it feels.”
This is the 15th Divine Fortune jackpot win at PlaySugarHouse in PA since its launch last summer. In late May, an Audubon, PA, woman won $535,000, the biggest Divine Fortune jackpot ever.
Mattias Stetz, COO of Rush Street Interactive, which operates PlaySugarHouse.com, said:

March 30: Another Divine Fortune jackpot hits
Again.
Divine Fortune has hit again, the 14th jackpot since last summer, when the title debuted at PlaySugarHouse.
A West Chester, PA, commercial painter won $159,052.43 on Sunday night playing from home.
This is the third time the Divine Fortune jackpot was hit at PlaySugarHouse since the closure of all land-based casinos in the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
“It’s exciting to be able to provide a chance for our players to win life-changing jackpots on an outlet that doesn’t require them to leave home,” said Mattias Stetz, COO of Rush Street Interactive, the game’s operator.
PlaySugarHouse has seen an increase in online casino play since retail casinos were ordered closed.

March 16: New titles added, none go away
Coronavirus has all PA land-based casinos closed for the time being. As we settle into this new normal, online gaming remains an option for those in PA.

Feb. 14: Divine Fortune Jackpot for two Pennsylvanians
How sweet it is! Two lucky Pennsylvanians won the Divine Fortune jackpot this week.
A man, a puppy and his last spin. No, it’s not the premise of a new rom-com, but the setup to a Divine Fortune jackpot. While in his living room with his pup, a Glenside, PA, man bet $2 on his last spin and won $148,172 at PlaySugarHouse.com. It’s the 12th online progressive Divine Fortune jackpot since PlaySugarHouse.com launched last year.
After registering a new account on Hollywood’s online casino, a woman hit the Divine Fortune Mega Jackpot for $76,598.13 three hours later. “Fifteen minutes of fame” in this particular Hollywood is a good thing when it comes with a big prize.
Feb. 10: Three online casinos mix EggOMatic into game libraries

On Jan. 3, Parx took down Blood Sucker and Black Jack Classic Touch, and Unibet removed two versions of blackjack.
Parx removed the slot Treasure Voyage on Jan. 5, but then added five new titles on the same day. They are Crown of Egypt, Pixies of the Forest, Treasures of Troy, Triple Diamond and White Ruby.
Dec. 27: Parx gifts players video poker and more slots

Nov. 15: One new slot title at Parx
Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood, a NetEnt slot with 20 paylines and seven bonus features, has come to Parx.
Nov. 7: Multihand blackjack is back at two casinos and added to SugarHouse
It appears that the issues that caused Parx and Sugarhouse to pull Net Ent’s multihand blackjack just a week ago are fixed. The game is now back on those sites.
Now it is also available on Hollywood’s online casino site.
Oct. 31: Multihand blackjack pulled from Parx and SugarHouse
It appears we spoke too soon about multihand blackjack by NetEnt. Shortly after it debuted, both Parx and SugarHouse pulled the game. During an online chat with customer service, they said that blackjack was down for maintenance by the game provider and would be back up as soon as possible.
Of course, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) is aware when games get taken down from PA online casinos. The PGCB says it’s done due to technical issues or glitches in the software that cause the game not to work the way it’s supposed to. The game is removed until the error is fixed. Then it is retested in the PGCB lab before being returned to the site.
Oct 25: Parx adds multihand blackjack
Players at Parx online casino might notice a new blackjack game. This differs from the other option, Pro BlackJack. The new blackjack game is by a different provider, NetEnt. It allows players to play up to three hands at once instead of just a single hand.
Parx also added a pair of slots, Motörhead and Blood Suckers 2.
Hollywood Casino added two new slots, Spiñata Grande and Motörhead.
Oct. 23: SugarHouse adds blackjack
Of the three online casinos in PA, SugarHouse was the only one not to offer blackjack. That’s not the case anymore. SugarHouse has added blackjack to its list of offerings.
Motörhead, a slot game inspired by the English rock band, also recently made its debut at SugarHouse.
Oct. 12: SugarHouse and Parx add more online slots
SugarHouse has been quiet since the end of July. It sweetened its online slot offerings with the addition of:
- Smokin 777
- Double Jackpot
- Meltdown
- Tiger 7s
- Vortex
Parx added five new slot games as well:
- Enchanting Pixie
- Grand Dragon
- Sheer Magic
- Treasure Voyage
- Winning Wolf
Oct. 11: Divine Fortune strikes one Parx customer
According to an email Parx Online Casino sent to customers, the site finally had a Divine jackpot hit. The winner banked a $106,323 prize.
Both Hollywood Casino and PlaySugarHouse reported Divine Fortune progressive jackpot winners in recent weeks. In fact, the SugarHouse jackpot hit five times in September alone, twice to the same person.
Meanwhile, the PlaySugarHouse Divine Fortune jackpot is getting big, and fast. The major jackpot on the game sits at over $261,000.
Oct. 4: Parx Casino has a couple of new options
After a long stretch with no new games to try out, Parx Casino added two new titles at the top of the month.
Now Parx online casino players can also play both Twin Spin Deluxe and Jack Hammer 2 slot games.
Sept. 18: Two more titles at Parx Casino
Parx Casino made room for two new games in the library this week. One is a new slot, while the other is yet another version of roulette.
French roulette from NetEnt is now an option for Parx Online Casino. On the slot front, players now have access to Mirror Mirror.
Sept. 17: Double the inventory, double the fun on Hollywood iPhone app
For a while, we were giving Hollywood Online Casino a certain amount of credit for getting listed in the Apple App Store. However, with five games, there wasn’t a ton to get excited about (though, to be fair, IGT Game King Video Poker is really nine game variants in one).
However, Hollywood is now offering more than double that number of games for iPhone users. Most notably, it has the first option for PA casino players to access blackjack on their iPhone device in PA.
Here’s a rundown of the full list of titles:
- IGT Blackjack
- Game King
- Cleopatra
- Wheel of Fortune Extreme
- Da Vinci Diamonds
- Wheel of Fortune Hawaiian Getaway
- Triple Diamond
- Cats
- Wolf Run
- Siberian Storm
- Golden Goddess
- Pixies of the Forest
Aug. 21: Hit Me! Hollywood adds classic blackjack
It has been about a week since a new game hit the PA online casino scene, but the latest is a good one. The era of Parx’s online blackjack monopoly is over. HollywoodCasino.com added a classic version of the popular table game to its titles.
The blackjack game is available on desktop and on the Android app. Unfortunately, the limited number of titles on the iPhone app has not changed, so no blackjack for iOS users just yet.
Parx Casino Slots
Aug. 12: Parx adds Divine Fortune, Big Prize Bubble Gum
As of today, all three PA online casinos are in the Divine progressive slot business. Divine Fortune is one of two new additions to the Parx Casino library. It is the site’s first progressive slot.
To give you an idea of how quickly these progressive slot jackpots are growing, the SugarHouse version of the game currently boasts a nearly $80,000 jackpot.
The other new title is Big Prize Bubble Gum, which is a new one for the PA online casino market. Its big claim to fame is 1,024 pay combos, which gives players more than a thousand ways to win.
Aug. 6: Missing slots return to Parx lineup
False alarm, folks! Just one day after disappearing from the lineup, China Shores and African Diamond are back in the library at Parx Online Casino.
Aug. 5: More games disappear from Parx library
First, it was Deuces Wild; now, some online slot titles are gone from your Parx Online Casino options.
The good news for Parx customers is that there is progress on the online sportsbook front. As of Monday, the Parx Online Sportsbook is available for download in the Apple App Store. It is the first new sports betting app to get listed in the store for PA users.
Perhaps in tandem with squaring things up for sportsbook launch, some of the games had to go? Two titles that are missing are African Diamond and China Shores.
What is important to note is that there is still no iOS app for Parx Online Casino, though any connection between the new app and the missing games is purely conjecture.
Aug. 1: Hollywood gets its own progressive Divine Fortune
After several days with no major updates, there is finally a new title in an online casino’s library. It’s a good one, too.
Like SugarHouse, HollywoodCasino.com can now boast a progressive jackpot slot, as it too has added Divine Fortune to the library.
According to the info on Hollywood, the game offers a 96.6% return to player (RTP). The 20-payline game has a minimum bet of $.20 and a max bet of $100.
July 26: Divine Fortune brings PA’s first progressive jackpot
There are four new titles in the SugarHouse library, but the one that stands out above the rest is Divine Fortune.
The introduction of the title is more than just a new game. It is the state’s first progressive jackpot slot to hit the market.
If you’re unfamiliar with progressive jackpots, these are slot titles where the top jackpot grows the more users play without anyone hitting it. They are already very popular in New Jersey, with some jackpots growing to over $2 million.
If you’re a music fan, the three other new titles might pique your interest. They are all focused around popular musical acts:
- Guns N’ Roses
- Jimi Hendrix
- Motorhead
July 24: Deuces Wild disappears from Parx
Rather than any new game announcements, we have our first disappearance from a title list.
Parx Casino launched with two types of video poker, Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild. Now, though, there is only one. Deuces Wild is no longer on the list of games, leaving video poker fans with the one option.
If you are looking for video poker elsewhere in Pennsylvania, your only other option is Hollywood Casino. The good news is that the site offers the IGT Game King Video Poker suite, which features nine different variants of the game.
July 22: Busy week for sports betting, a slow start for casinos
The weekend came and went with no new game options for PA players seeking more slots and table games options. None of the three casinos added any new titles on Monday.
Parx Casino Online Real Money
However, something new is coming to market soon. FanDuel Sportsbook at Valley Forge Casino should be rolling out testing on its online betting app at any moment.
July 19: The week ends with NetEnt near-monopoly
Friday was a slow day for the three PA online casinos headed into their first weekend on the market. Here is a look at the latest game counts:
SugarHouse:
- Slots: 37
- Table games: 3
Parx:
- Slots: 41
- Table games: 6
Hollywood:
- Slots: 66
- Table games: 14
July 18: SugarHouse adds roulette
After opening Wednesday with only 22 slot titles, PlaySugarHouse is now offering table games. Effective Thursday, SugarHouse is officially offering online table games in the form of three types of online roulette.
Those are:
- American roulette
- European roulette
- French roulette
A quick lesson in roulette odds for those new to the game: You always want to find versions of roulette with just a single zero on the wheel. Those offer the best odds for casino players.
The good news for SugarHouse players is that both European and French roulette offer just that. Plus, if you are seeking more volatile odds, American roulette, with its 0 and 00, is still in the mix.
