PENN Entertainment announced the launch of a new golf-themed online game, PGA TOUR Mines. 

This is the company’s second PGA-themed iGaming title. The game is now live at Hollywood Casino in New Jersey and theScore Casino in Ontario.

Key takeaways

  • PENN Entertainment launched a new PGA Tour-themed game at Hollywood Casino in New Jersey and theScore Casino in Ontario.
  • PGA TOUR Mines is the second PGA collaboration between PENN and the PGA after the PGA TOUR Blackjack launch in May. 
  • The launch comes amid record online casino growth at PENN Entertainment.

PENN Game Studios created PGA TOUR Mines. It’s based on players choosing tiles on a virtual grid, looking for wins, and avoiding mines. The game includes official PGA TOUR branding, animated graphics, and course artwork.

Hollywood Casino is live in New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. However, only N.J. players can enjoy the new game through its New Jersey online casino

PENN’s Blackjack debut marks PGA TOUR deal

Back in May, PENN launched PGA TOUR Blackjack, its first officially branded iGaming title, across New Jersey and Ontario. Like PGA TOUR Mines, it was developed in-house. It's a more traditional casino experience based around a conventional blackjack game, but with PGA TOUR-themed side bets and virtual cards. 

The release marks PENN’s multi-year partnership with the PGA TOUR through ESPN BET. The collaborations further link the brands, with PGA TOUR live streaming available through ESPN+ and integrated into ESPN BET. 

The PENN and PGA brand integration is available across all PENN platforms, letting users play games through ESPN BET or the Hollywood Casino app. Depending on regulatory approval, the partners plan more game and branded rollouts.  

Record online casino growth amid broader strategic push

PENN’s expansion through its PGA TOUR partnership comes during a strong company performance. Its Q1 results show the business generated major momentum in its interactive segment, registering record iGaming revenue and impressive growth across platforms. 

The quarterly report revealed $290.1 million in income, despite a $10 million hit from disappointing sports betting outcomes. Growth came from cross-platform engagement, especially in Pennsylvania and Michigan, where users spent more on retail and online casinos.

The report focused on the success of PENN’s multi-channel approach and noted continuing improvements to ESPN BET's app, including ESPN Fantasy integration and the Mint Club loyalty program launch. According to the report, as of March 31, 2025, PENN’s liquidity was $1.5 billion.

Whether it's new state launches, the latest twists in regulation, or what the big operators and game providers are cooking up next, Ziv breaks it all down with clarity, context, and just the right amount of snark. He covers the business side of betting, from affiliate trends and revenue reports to the tech powering your favorite slots. His motto in writing is “let’s make it make sense without putting you to sleep.”

When he’s not tracking gambling legislation or looking for the next breaking story, Ziv is living and dying with every pitch and play from his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins. As a Pitt graduate, it’s a city loyalty forged in heartbreak, but one he wouldn’t trade for anything, except maybe a few more playoff wins.

When away from the keyboard, Ziv loves to hit the road and soak up the energy of casinos. Whether strolling the neon jungle called the Vegas Strip, or wandering into a smoky riverboat casino in the Midwest, Ziv’s in his element. He’s the guy chatting with players, blackjack dealers, and asking pit bosses way too many questions, all in the name of “research,” of course. The casino floor isn’t just his workplace, it’s a weird and wonderful ecosystem of flashing lights, wild characters, and pure sensory overload, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
