I wish it was never built. All this casino does is take, take, take. I am african american and I have never seen an afriican american win. Now, I am not a bum living in a cheap apartment in the neighborhood. I have a single new home over $400,000, drive a jaguar and own 1/2 acre of land. I came in when you first opened, but I keep losing so much I stop.
Then you start sending me invitations to come out, talking about every ten minutes you win. Well I didn't win s___t. Another clever trick. I am tired of goingthere.? I even rented a limo and brought seven of my girlfriends and one even stopped talking to me.
We are planning to go to Harrah's in Chester, Pa and then back to Atlantic City. I am even thinking about writing to the township about this. I feel a little predudice going on. Only the younger and older caucasian people seem to be lucky. It's a shame for me because I only live fiive to ten minutes away. You know you're not going to win all the time but god____ let a sister have a big win once in a while, it would feel good.
I will try once more, but if it turns out to be another scam... Harrah's in Chester, Pa here I come baby, and Caesars in Atlantic City I love you too, you have been good to me too.
That's all I have to say and by the way, the 5 dollar free play you give me me weekly? Please keep it. It's an insult to me and I'd rather not have it. Please give it to someone else.
I have been going to Phila Park ever since it first opened. At this point in time I agree with all of the other reviews. You cannot win.
You bet $2.00 at one time and maybe get back 20 cents. Payouts are nonexistant. Never enough people at the cashier windows. It takes twenty minutes to get a drink when you are on the slots.
I can go through $200 in twenty minutes just waiting for a drink! They do need to get their act together and act more professional.
I agree with those that say you can't win here. I have spent literally hundreds of dollars playing the limited video poker machines with practically no payout. No wonder their revenue is up. They're stealing everyone's money!
Also, the cigarette smoke is so thick, I lost my voice. Very stuffy and crowded. Availability of food is a joke, and what there is, is greasy and the line is long. Will not return.
This is a horrible 'casino'. The parking lot is disgusting. It is outside - old and broken down as well as filled with trash. You have to walk a very long distance to get inside the casino. At night, many of the overhead lights are out making it dangerous and scary.
Inside, there are 2 floors stuffed with machines. They say there are places to eat, but we could not find them. Last year, there was a buffet on the 2nd floor, but they took that out and replaced it with more machines. When it was in operation, we ate there a few times. They had a very limited food selection and most of the times one of the few main courses was no longer available. The food was average.
As for the casino, the machines are extremely tight! It is very rare that you have any kind of hit on a machine and it is usually a small one. My guess is that Phila Park has all their machines set for the minimum allowable payback of 85% which is much lower than LV, AC and most other state's casinos, which generally run in the 90-95%.
We even tried the electronic BlackJack tables. They too operated in a 'more take than give' mode and many times it appeared as if the decks were 'rigged' in favor of the dealer. I suspect they have dramatically reduced the programmed payout percentages, as BJ is typically about a 98% payback game in a real casino.
The total lack of any kind of winnings make for a miserable experience.
All of the machines are coinless - they have the ticket printers. But trying to cash one of these things is like pulling teeth. Most of the cash machines that accept the tickets are broken, forcing you to hunt down one of the few people-staffed cages.
Phila Park is now building a new stand-alone casino as part of their agreement to obtaining their license (although they attempted to renig on this promise). I suspect not much will change there as they will simply move all the equipment and employees to the new building.
Everyone I know has stated that they will never visit there again.
I have been playing at this casino ever since it opened. There were frequent pay outs from the machines and? i think they did this to catch the people, now that they have the people they turn off the win switch.
I personally think the gaming board needs to do a surprise check on this casino and its books to see how often and how many winners they have for the month.You take $100.00 and in 20 mins. you lose everything without any profit, thats a Damn Shame!!!!
