It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Football season begins and Pennsylvania casinos have promotions and giveaways as serious as their fans are about the Eagles and Steelers.
There’s something for everybody, regardless of location or bankroll. Keep reading to see what promotions are available near you for this new 2023 NFL season.

Patrons at Live! Casino Philadelphia can take advantage of two promotions.

Live! Rewards members must earn 100 tier credits to become eligible for the competition. Once eligible, members can swipe their rewards card at a promotional kiosk and make their picks for the week.
The competition takes place at all three Live! casinos, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Maryland. Picks must be in by 11:59 p.m. Saturday night, with the top-10 finishers at each location earning free play.
The Philly Ticket Giveaway is the second promotion, running through Sept. 30.

Of course, this includes Eagles games.

Every Eagles touchdown earns you $7, paid at halftime and after the game. Field goals or any scores by the opposition do not qualify for free play. Still, the Eagles’ high-powered offense will provide plenty of chances at free money for everybody in the building on home game days.
