Shares of domestic casino and gaming operator PENN Entertainment (NASDAQ: PENN) have been renamed to reflect the nature of its gaming business. The stock has traded down for the year (-32%), but the company has been profitable throughout the pandemic while rivals like Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS ) and Wynn Resorts (Nasdaq: ) Starq: WYNN) is still in the red. It’s major online sportsbook and iGaming rival DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG) still suffering hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. It also helps that PENN is a purely domestic casino chain that doesn’t have to worry about the Chinese blockade, the closure of Macau and the uncertainty of Communist Party regulators. The company just acquired 100% ownership of the popular Barstool Sports app ahead of the NFL football betting season. The transaction is expected to close in February 2023. The combination of brick-and-mortar locations and online interactive gambling enables synergistic network effects where customers can earn compensation and prizes while staying connected to brands from virtually anywhere. PENN is able to connect, or rather, PENN’s customers are able to reach them through multiple channels in a cashless, cardless and contactless manner.

Formerly Penn National Gaming , PENN Entertainment is a new name that more accurately describes the nature of its business of gambling through multiple channels. The company operates 44 properties in 20 states and operates digital sportsbooks in 13 jurisdictions, five of which have iCasino gaming. It operates in five divisions: Northeast, South, West, Midwest and Interactive. The gambling industry has intentionally replaced the sinful term “gambling” with gaming, which often carries negative connotations of hardcore addictive imagery, a milder light-hearted term that can infer wholesome entertainment like video games and entertainment. PENN offers all forms of gaming, from casino games and slot machines to racetracks and live or online sportsbooks, to suit all needs.
Massachusetts Gaming
Massachusetts becomes the next state to legalize sports betting. On August 1, 2022, lawmakers passed a bill legalizing professional and college football betting. Bets can only be placed by persons 21 years of age and older and are subject to a 15% tax on live bets at the casino and 20% tax online. One of the key selling points is the state’s $60 million to $65 million in tax revenue. As part of the compromise, no betting is allowed on games involving Massachusetts schools, such as March Madness, except in the playoffs. There will be six mobile gaming licenses, and Penn is likely to apply for one. It currently has a horse racing and slot store in Plainview, Massachusetts, and could benefit from increased sports betting. Also, their Bar Stool Sports app originated in Boston and is very popular with the college and millennial crowd.
