Churchill Downs Inc. completed the changeover of its Pennsylvania online sports betting and casino site Tuesday, hoping it will provide a boost after lagging nearly all competitors for the past 15 months.
The Louisville, Ky.-based gaming company has abandoned its BetAmerica brand, which it had used for sports betting in the state since a December 2019 launch and for iCasino play starting the next month.
After maintenance downtime that took longer than the 10 hours expected late Monday and early Tuesday, CDI at about 11 a.m. unveiled a TwinSpires platform — at pa.twinspires.com — that combines sports wagering and casino play as options with horse betting. TwinSpires has been the parimutuel wagering site since 2007 for the company, which is most famous for running the Kentucky Derby.
The revamped site uses the same blue-and-white color scheme as the former one, but with a brighter presentation that uses bolder graphics and clearly shows more betting options.
