The casino took advantage of a discounted fee of $10 million offered by the PGCB for its licensees that wanted to conduct all three of the categories of interactive games including online slot machines, casino table games, and poker. Hollywood Casino was also among the first casinos to apply for special permission from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board ( PGCB) to offer Interactive Gaming (igaming) in the Commonwealth. The following day, the game offering was expanded and continues to be improved upon. On the first day of its soft launch testing period, Hollywood Casino offered a series of slots titles along with various video poker variants and Baccarat.
On the morning of July 15, 2019, Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course became the first legal and regulated online casino to launch in Pennsylvania.
