DraftKings expands Electric Poker in three US states

DraftKings Electric Poker in three states

DraftKings initially launched Electric Poker in Michigan in 2024, and as of July 8, 2025 the game became available also in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Now players from all three states share a common player pool, which increases liquidity and reduces waiting time at the tables.

Game features

Electric Poker is a fast three‑hand no‑limit hold’em tournament with real players. Added to the standard rules are:

• a random prize pool determined by a multiplier;
• two‑level blind levels every two minutes;
• a special "electric mode" that adds dynamism;
• other enhancements that make the game more exciting.

Market context

This expansion makes DraftKings the fifth company to join the multi‑state internet gaming agreement (MSIGA), alongside PokerStars, WSOP Online, BetMGM/partypoker, and BetRivers. A company spokesperson, Signe Yama, noted that the new game will improve the player experience and attract new customers thanks to DraftKings’ unique approach to traditional poker.
