I'm not a gambler.
I don't know how to play !
But some friends of mine have been talking about this place, since they go here pretty darn regularly & know it so well... I felt like I'd be in good hands.
So we sat and played on these Little electric casino card machines .
There was a very attentive bartender there, looking after us and giving us free drinks while we played .
It seems that there are a lot of regulars there because they have a point card or something. They got free mini crockpots today. Very interesting to see people walking around with these little crockpots under their arms.
On a happy note, they don't allow smoking inside. Not even vaping was pretty clear.
I'm surprised they were open as early as they were. I was happy to just visit for an hour or so.
It looks like they have a lot of comedy acts coming there to perform.
I would totally do that!Helpful 3Thanks 2Love this 2Oh no 0 - Nov 17, 2023
PARX CASINO is a casino for young adults and old folks to go and gamble. It's a beautiful casino outside and inside. The inside has beautiful lights and casino games to choose from. You can also walk around if your of age and dine in too. You can also try delicious restaurants to choose from. Me and my aunt and friends went yesterday November 16, 2023 to PARX Casino around 9PM, it was packed and played some games, I won $15, I was so happy, I tried a few more times to see if I'd win more money but didn't win, oh well. It is a lot of fun when you win, but when you lose, it's so sad lol. Anywho, if you haven't been to PARX CASINO IN PA, you have to visit, it's so nice to visit and gamble if you like to gamble. Visit and play a few games, see if you'll win any games, you probably win the JACKPOT! #GetYaParxCasinoOn #ParxCasinoOn #GetYaGamblingOn #PlayToWin

I've been going to this place for eight years I only go cause I have a elderly dad and he likes to go. This place is a rip off they do not pay and seems that they do watch who's winning it sad to say, but it's only a certain kind of people that wins in this place stay away from there ....they're a big rip off. Find another one go to AC go to Hard Rock Café go to Bogata at least you win over there.
And don't need service. You will sit on that machine for half an hour. You literally have to get somebody to go find someone to bring them over to you and is sad because it's a very nice place to go to is clean. They just don't pay and the surface sucks .Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Glenn G.Rockville Centre, NY14285Mar 18, 20241 check-in
Just left Parx casino, A tough guy bartender took my wine and said you were falling asleep, I closed my eyes for one second and he took my wine away and gave me my money back. He said YOU CAN'T CLOSE YOUR EYES ,wow never saw that in my life, I won't be going back there anytime soon. Please don't go to Parx if you're tired and happen to close your eyes at the bar, I never bothered anyone just closed my eyes for 1 second.

The casino is nice clean - really clean bathrooms. It had a wide variety of table games open which is nice in the middle of the week. Your not stuck at 1 table if you want to play.
We ate at the Foodie court which is why Im writing this review. The food was really good, tasted fresh, and hot. I was apprehensive about eating there because sometimes food court food is rough. We ordered boneless honey bbq wings, basket of fries, chocolate cake and 2 coffees. All of this came to $24.75 and the portions were a nice size.
We were on our way home when we decided to stop in at the casino.
If your there and hungry definitely stop in at Foodies.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 9, 2023
I haven't been in over 7 years and I see something's have changed. They now have designated smoking areas outside so that's bonus for a non smoker. They have the usual games I play, roulette, pai gao poker, black Jack, baccarat, and many slot machines. I came with a few friends at 3am and we won close to $300. Be very aware of your surroundings, especially at the parking lots!!
The dress code here is very much casual with most guest wearing t shirts and jeans. I thought people usually dress up to go to casinos unless it's just this 1 because it's Philly
Coffee and teas m are free when you play table games. Cocktail waitress in all black will walk around with drinks asking if you want.
There is a bar in the middle of the casino with many TVs if you want time away from gambling.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 8184220Oct 25, 2023
Came here tonight for the WMGK House band Competition tonight at Parx 360. $6.50 for a 12oz Yuengling? The bar was situated right in front of the stage, so you couldn't hear yourself talk let alone hear the bartender. It was a really small event space.

Eff parx. The worst games suck and so does the drink service. You're better off betting on the power ball and winning
Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0May 13, 2023Previous reviewDo do it. Drink service suck bonuses suck. They don't give entertainment to headliners. They're just all around bad. If they are giving out gifts , you can forget getting anything, because you're paying for whatever they're giving out. In addition, their free sucks as well.
Mar 19, 2022Previous reviewYou have a better chance coming back as Jesus Christ, than you do getting a drink or hitting for that matter. You're better off going to AC, Rivers, or Live. The free play, drinks, and over all atmosphere is much better. Even though it's closer to where I live, going there is no longer worth it!

parx Casino is one of the worst casinos that you should go to. They would rather pay a fine then pay people out if you wanna go to a casino go to another casino do not go to Parx casino.. they are a very prejudice, Casino. They are comps are horrible. The waitresses are horrible. You have to wait for hours just to get something to drink. It's a bad Casino just don't go there.

They are the worst please band the Parx Casino.. they only give certain people the bonuses money do not go to the Parx . They are the worst, they will rather pay the fine than to pay people out.. please band the Parx casino. go to another casino
Dec 29, 2023Previous reviewi have been coming to Parx since they open there doors. I have never hit a grand on anything. I play the max on Buffalo and nothing. I went to another casino today and did great on Buffalo. Came to Parx and lost everything. I always see people put 100 in Buffalo and win Right away. I don't get it at all. Parx is supposed to be the number one casino, maybe for some people but not me. I don't recommend it to no one . Parx is only for certain people.
Sep 27, 2023Previous reviewParx casino is the worst casino to go to. They pay the same people all the time. I have been going to Parx since the open there doors and I never win. They have machines that never give bonuses and when they do give bonuses they give you 5 to 7 dolLars. I feel that they are watching you play and controlling the machines. Their player cards show who you are, so they don't pay you. I will be going to Live casino from now on and everyon else should follow. I will be telling all of my friends and family not to sippy Parx at all.
Jul 26, 2023Previous reviewParx casino is the worst place you want to go to. If you play with a players cards or without you will lose. I have been going to Parx for years and I have won only a few jack pots. They let the same people win ever time. people go back to A.C.
