UK-listed online gambling operator Bwin.party digital entertainment has inked a prospective online deal with an unnamed casino in Pennsylvania.

On Wednesday, eGaming Review reported that Bwin.party had confirmed its inking of a Pennsylvania land-based partner to be first in line if and when the state gets around to passing intrastate online gambling legislation. Bwin.party CEO Norbert Teufelberger said the company had “identified a market access partner” and hoped to be “first to market” if Pennsylvania legislators can get their ducks in a row.

There are currently two online gambling bills being considered in the current session of the Pennsylvania legislature. Rep. Nick Miccarelli’s HB 695 is a poker-only bill while Rep. John Payne’s HB 649 would also permit online casino games. The legislature plans to hold a public hearing to discuss online gambling on April 16.

Payne, who chairs the state’s Gaming Oversight Committee, recently told OnlinePokerReport’s Steve Ruddock that Gov. Tom Wolf was “open minded” on the issue of expanding gaming options in the state. Wolf, who assumed office in November, had said on the campaign trail that he was agin’ gambling expansion of any kind. Payne says Wolf’s current position is more like “go show me, what it is, how it would work and what the revenue numbers are.”
