“These results reflect our continued progress in meeting our strategic objectives,” said Penn National Gaming President and CEO Jay Snowden. “We remain encouraged by the ongoing visitation from younger demographics and are focused on continuing to reimagine our properties and offerings to enhance the entertainment appeal to this steadily growing segment of consumers.”
Penn highlighted many recent developments in the update, including the “disciplined growth” of its Interactive Segment, which posted revenue of $141.5m. This included the launch of the Barstool Sportsbook mobile app in Louisiana and theScore Bet mobile app in Ontario on 28 January and 4 April respectively.
Speaking of the segment, Snowden noted: “The Interactive Segment generated meaningful growth year over year and our profitability objectives are unchanged. Our launches in Louisiana and Ontario have demonstrated the value of both our omni-channel strategy and our investment in new technology.
“In Louisiana, we benefited from both our best-in-class regional casinos and grass-roots marketing by Barstool Sports personalities. In Ontario, we successfully launched theScore Bet mobile app on April 4th to impressive demand.”
