888 in Pennsylvania ?

888 already have a presence in the US, with RNG games for New Jersey residents.

They are now looking to get an early foothold in Pennsylvania, where the the House of Reps passed HB 2150 last month. HB2150, once passed in the Senate will allow for intrastate online casino games ... a la to NJ and Delaware.

Preempting successful passage through the Senate, 888 have teamed up with Pennsylvania's Mount Airy Casino, offering players who sign up at their 888NJ site, via Mount Airy's website, a $25 no-deposit bonus once HB2150 passes.

All a bit convoluted, but point is, 888 seem pretty confident that they're going to get a (co) license in Pennsylvania at some stage.

New Jersey looks to be leading from the front,

it has been confirmed today that 888 are to push ahead with live games for the New Jersey market.


Extract from a press release,

....888casino is fully regulated in the state of New Jersey. This Summer, under the extended agreement, 888casino will
launch a comprehensive Evolution-hosted Live Casino service to New Jersey customers.

Full release here

So presumably Evolution will be partnering with one of the Atlantic City casinos as the physical base for the live tables ... similar to the Ezugi/Golden Nugget arrangement.

On receiving the release yesterday this was the question I asked the guys at Evolution but as yet no response.

Given 888 already have a relationship with Caesars perhaps the tables will be there ??

Got the when, just not the where :D

...our studio is currently under construction and we anticipate it to be live before the end of August

And in light of Evolution's press release today on their soon to be launched Dual Play Roulette table located inside the Resorts Casino Hotel, on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, me thinks the other games could be located there as well.
