Two of the biggest tribal casino companies in Las Vegas, Sands Bethlehem and Boyd Gaming and, have obtained iGaming license in Pennsylvania.

Sands Bethlehem, in spite of the opposition of its CEO Sheldon Adelson, is planning to start online slots, table games and poker. Interestingly the casino could be sold to the Poarch Creek Indians very soon.

The Poarch Creek runs a social gaming website that they hope to transform into a real-money igaming site for Sands Bethlehem, Cooper Levenson attorney Lynne Kaufman, who represents the tribe, said.

Boyd’s Valley Forge casino will offer online slots, video poker, table games, live dealer games and poker while race and sports betting will come later.

The igaming site will run on GAN’s platform while Paddy Power Betfair’s FanDuel will market the site and provide branding for it. IGT will integrate sports betting on GAN’s platform once the casino receives necessary approvals.
