The Stars Group has partnered with Mount Airy Lodge Casino in the Poconos.

“We’re excited to take this next step as The Stars Group looks to broaden its presence in the United States,” said Matt Primeaux, SVP Strategy & Operations, USA at The Stars Group said at the time the partnership was announced. “In partnership with Mount Airy Casino Resort, we believe we’re well positioned to capitalize on opportunities in the Commonwealth by bringing our world leading offerings to Pennsylvania players.”

The Stars Group has already joined forces with Fox Sports and will soon be launching their FoxBet sports wagering site.
