About the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is
tasked to oversee all aspects of gambling at 15 land-based casinos, online
casino games, retail and online sports wagering, and Video Gaming Terminals
(VGTs) at qualified truck stops, along with the regulation of online fantasy
sports contests.
The land-based casino industry in
Pennsylvania consists of six racetrack (Category 1) casinos, five stand-alone
(Category 2) casinos, two resort (Category 3) casinos and two mini-casinos
(Category 4). Casino expansion will continue over the next couple of
years with the anticipated openings of up to three additional Category 4
casinos. A significant job generator in the Commonwealth, casinos and the
other types of Board-regulated gaming is expected to generate over $1.8 billion
in tax revenue during the 2021/2022 State Fiscal Year.
Additional information about both the PGCB’s
gaming regulatory efforts and Pennsylvania’s gaming industry can be found at
