PENN Launches PGA TOUR Blackjack in New Jersey and Ontario

A Swing at iGaming Stardom

PENN Entertainment is driving straight for the iGaming fairway with PGA TOUR Blackjack, a new online casino game launched, that’s turning heads with its golf-inspired branding.

Crafted by PENN Game Studios, this title is the first to sport PGA TOUR logo, blending classic blackjack with poker bets and side wagers for extra juice.

PGA TOUR Blackjack delivers a traditional blackjack experience with a PGA TOUR twist, featuring golf-themed cards and chips that scream fairway vibes.

Players can hit the virtual tables through ESPN Bet, PENN’s official PGA TOUR sportsbook partner, or Hollywood Casino’s platform in New Jersey and theScore Bet’s casino app in Ontario.

The game offers standard bets alongside poker-style side wagers, appealing to both casual players and high rollers chasing big payouts.

The PGA TOUR Partnership

The game stems from a multiyear deal between PENN’s ESPN Bet and the PGA TOUR, naming ESPN Bet an official operator. This partnership, leveraging ESPN’s massive audience, lets PENN weave PGA TOUR branding into its iGaming portfolio, boosting cross-sell from sports betting to casino play.

The game’s debut aligns with golf betting’s rise, with ESPN Bet handling $50 million in PGA TOUR wagers in Q1 2025, up 25% year-over-year.

Hollywood Casino App as Backdrop

PGA TOUR Blackjack shines within PENN’s Hollywood Casino ecosystem, bolstered by a standalone app launched in Pennsylvania in December 2024, Michigan in January 2025, and New Jersey in March 2025.

The app, hosting over 700 games including exclusives like Devils Blackjack, saw Pennsylvania’s gross gaming revenue jump 38% and weekly users rise 16%.

Integrated with PENN Play loyalty rewards, it offers a seamless casino floor vibe, but the game itself steals the spotlight.
