On January 24, Frabbiele announced the return of live poker, stating,<em> \u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring poker back. It\u2019s something a lot of people want and we want to bring it back.\u201d<\/em> The news comes after the poker room remained closed since the COVID-19 shutdown in March 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The casino plans to set up an unspecified number of poker tables adjacent to the sportsbook entrance, near the restaurant and bar area, currently housing electronic table games (ETGs). However, this is just the start of the plan, as PENN Entertainment needs to file a request with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) to officially add live poker to its offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, live Texas Hold\u2019em poker will be available from Friday to Sunday, with the exact business hours yet to be determined.<em> \u201cWe\u2019re dipping our toes in the water. We need to see what the demand is and base the hours off that,\u201d<\/em> Frabbiele commented. To accommodate this new addition, the casino is currently training and hiring dealers.<\/p>\n<p>Positioning live poker next to the sportsbook is a strategic move expected to create a lively atmosphere at the property. <em>\u201cWe love the energy of poker and the sportsbook. We also have horse racing (wagering) terminals in the sportsbook along with our food and beverage offerings. It should add up to quite the poker experience,\u201d<\/em> Frabbiele added.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant and sportsbook, open daily, are transitioning to an ESPN Bet brand from the former Barstool Sports association. Frabbiele noted,<em> \u201cWe\u2019re still trying to figure out the next phase of that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/sbet\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Sportbet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/250x250-sportbetone.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/sbet\/\" title=\"Sportbet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sportbet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>175% Extra +<strong> $75 Risk Free Bet<\/strong>!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only. 17% on 1st Deposit + $75 Risk Free Bet<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-rating box-25 relative mb-10\">\n<div class=\"rating-box text-center box-100  relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-rating-box relative\">\n<div class=\"stars\"><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-rating-notice relative\">Casino &#038; Sports<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\n\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-button box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-button-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/sbet\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\tVisit Site<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In addition to Grantville, Hollywood Casino Morgantown will also launch live poker this spring.
