PA’s Wind Creek Launches Pala Interactive iGaming Platform

Wind Creek Hospitality and Pala Interactive announced the full public launch of Wind Creek Casino’s online gaming platform in Pennsylvania, powered by Pala Interactive.

As part of this partnership, Pala will provide Wind Creek with its online player account management system and real-money casino. In addition to the online gambling offering, Wind Creek will be adding Pala content to its existing free-to-play social casino platform.

“Pala Interactive is honored to have been selected as Wind Creek’s technology partner,” said Pala CEO Jim Ryan. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approved the launch of the Wind Creek real money online casino on July 24.

This launch represents completion of the first phase of a multi-stage real-money and social casino plan. The next phase will be the introduction of the Wind Creek sports betting offering in partnership with BetFred USA Sports and Scientific Games Corporation, expected to launch in the fall.

“Pala Interactive has been a great partner supporting our needs throughout the preparation for this launch,” said Jay Dorris, president and CEO of Wind Creek Hospitality. “We are impressed by the quality of their online gaming platform, their knowledge and guidance related to all matters necessary to securing regulatory approval, supplier content, payment and other relevant supply agreements.

“Together we are positioned to deliver our customers a state-of-the-art online gaming experience, and we look forward to a long-term and successful relationship.”
