Two casinos, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh and The Meadows, officially welcomed guests back in Pennsylvania on June 9. Lady Luck Nemacolin in Farmington, PA, also reopened on June 12.
However, the rest of PA’s casinos remain closed for now. According to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the reopening of the other casinos will happen soon.
In fact, Hollywood Casino is set to reopen Friday, June 19. Mohegan Sun Pocono and Mount Airy Casino are also in counties going green on Friday.
Online casinos never stopped in PA
While the majority of casinos remain shuttered, you can still play PA online casino games on the go or from the comfort of your own home.
PA is just one of four states where online casinos are fully legalized and regulated. Therefore, you can play land-based casino games such as blackjack, slots, roulette and video poker without ever setting foot in a casino.
In fact, the iGaming market continues to expand in the Keystone State with the recent additions of DraftKings and Caesars. Now PA has a total of 10 online casinos.

The reopening of land-based casinos
According to the PGCB, there are health and safety requirements to be met or exceeded prior to brick-and-mortar casinos reopening:
- Limited to 50% capacity
- Everyone, employees and guests, must wear masks
- No poker rooms for now
- Increased availability of hand sanitation on gaming floors
Looking to Rivers Casino Pittsburgh and The Meadows, the two casinos are operating on limited hours, not 24/7.
Indeed, we can expect the rest of the casinos to follow suit as they reopen as well. PlayPennsylvania is updating a live blog for you to find out more about PA casino reopenings and what to expect when you head back to live gaming.
