Gaming technology provider Playtech has broadened its presence in the US by opening a new live casino studio in Pennsylvania. This marks the company’s third state entry in the live casino market, following successful launches in New Jersey and Michigan.

Initially, the studio will provide VIP Blackjack and VIP Roulette through betPARX, the online gambling product of Greenwood Gaming. This company operates two casinos in the Keystone State: Parx Casino in Bensalem and a mini-casino, Parx Casino Shippensburg. The live casino had a soft launch on November 28 but will have a full launch soon, and it is set to operate 24/7.
