Penn Interactive Ventures (PIV) is making room for more shelves in its online casino library.

Last week, the digital subsidiary of Penn National Gaming (PNG) announced a long-term partnership with slots developer Lightning Box. The deal will bring new titles to PNG’s portfolio of online casinos starting this year.

Although the games will initially be limited to social casino platforms, both parties have clear ambitions in the real-money space.

PNG has been pressing especially hard in recent years, locking up major deals across both land-based and digital properties. This one represents a small but relevant piece of a much-larger expansion.

Sydney-based Lightning Box is establishing a presence on American soil itself, counting Penn among a growing list of partners.

Under the deal, some of Lightning Box’s titles will be available within Penn’s online casino library this year. The popular Chilli Gold will be the first to go live in Q3, followed by Dolphin Gold, Respin Rhinos, Silver Lion and others from the company’s 50-title library.
