April’s second week begins with welcome news for Ontario online casino fans: theScore Casino, a standalone online casino app, is now live. Today, just days after Ontario marked the third anniversary of its open gambling market, Penn Entertainment announced the launch of its casino-only online app.
According to the release, the app’s dedicated online casino offering—which leverages Penn’s popular theScore brand—gives players a “seamless” cross-platform experience.
Aaron LaBerge, Penn’s chief technology officer and head of interactive, said the new app will give players an “even better” experience.
We’re excited to introduce our dedicated iCasino product in Ontario under the well-known and trusted theScore brand. We’ve built a strong online gaming foothold in the Ontario market and are primed to deliver an even better casino experience with our proven stand-alone app. Our customer-friendly platform features more than 1,200 games, dozens of original titles and intuitive game play that distinguishes our product and positions us for even greater success.
The new release is available now via Android, iOS, and desktop.
Existing customers can simply log in using their theScore Bet credentials for a streamlined experience across Penn’s Ontario online gaming platforms.
theScore Casino builds on Hollywood Casino’s success
Also available within the combined theScore Bet app, theScore Casino offers a range of slots, table games and live dealer content.
Penn highlights that theScore Casino operates on the same “cutting-edge proprietary technology platform” as its US-facing standalone online casino app, Hollywood Casino. Launched last December, Eilers & Krejcik recently ranked Hollywood Casino as the #2 overall online casino platform in the United States.
In addition to popular online casino games, theScore’s Casino’s game menu includes original titles from PENN Game Studios, the company’s in-house game development studio. Among those offerings are “bespoke” live dealer tables and other exclusives, including Blue Jays Blackjack, which leverages theScore Bet’s partnership with the Toronto Blue Jays.
As part of Penn’s commitment to responsible gambling, theScore Casino and theScore Bet provide players with “comprehensive” responsible gambling tools and support resources. As is standard in the industry, players can use these tools to set limits on time, deposits, and wagering.
