Timestamps for the July 18th, 2018, meeting conducted by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

There is only one brief mention of online poker around the 3:00 mark, but following along with this video could prove helpful for those interested in becoming more informed on how gambling regulatory bodies operate in a statewide licensed environment.

Real money Pennsylvania online poker games could be available by the end of this year. It is assumed that the Keystone State will eventually join the tri-state market that currently includes NJ/NV/DE, but the introductory marketplace may be ring-fenced to Pennsylvania only.
