With Greentube’s vast experience in distribution, placement, and marketing of games and Flamingocatz’s ‘outside of the box’ way of creating games, we have very high hopes for this partnership.”– Job Spiero,Co-Founder, Flamingocatz,Press Release

Remaining in Pennsylvania, in January 2023 online casino and retail casino giant Bet365 announced that it was expanding into the state thanks to an exclusive online sports betting and iGaming market access deal it secured with Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI).
