Parx recently implemented a point system where for every group of 20000 you earn, you receive 1 point for rated play. It is nearly impossible to achieve this, let alone dumping your hard earned dollars into machines that don't pay out. And to top that off, the prizes offered are so difficult to earn and the points required so far fetched. I would only hope Parx either revises the current system to make it easier to obtain points, or do away with it altogether.
On October 30, 2011 I was playing on various slot machines at Parx. I won $199.85 at one machine and inserted the voucher I was issued into a different slot machine. The machine only registered the 85 cents and not the $199. The machine then malfunctioned and the slot attendant came to fix the wheels that were spinning endlessly. I reported the loss at the machine and filed a dispute form. The casino conducted an "investigation" and informed me today that the system did not report an overage so therefore I had no claim. Plain and simple this is a RIP-OFF and I have no recourse to collect the money that this casino stole from me. My advice to anyone who is issued a voucher at PARX is to immediately cash it at a payout machine rather than simply inserting your voucher into a different slot machine. I'm sure I'm not the only one to experience this scam and I can just imagine how much money this casino is making through this shady practice. Needless to say they have lost two regular patrons for life (my wife and myself) and they will lose thousands in lost revenue by not paying out on this legitimate claim. Talk about winning the battle and losing the war! Ridiculous situation! Please BEWARE!
We visited PARX casino recently. It was pretty busy on a weekend and the staff were having a hard time keeping up with cleanliness. They were trying though. Some machines had keys that did not work or were stuck. Some people can't read the no smoking symbol on the front of the machines. The security people did enforce the smoking areas. Did see one slot machine with broken glass. I guess not a happy camper. My sister and I thought the selection of slots was pretty good. They need more Vegas Spins and Wizard of Oz Machines. The bar top video poker machines don't seem to be the same as they were in the racetrack. They seem much tighter. Some players mentioned that fact. We did win a little as we played about three hours. Don't expect any comps as the Penna. Tax on comps seems prohibitive. It seems you have to run about $ 200.00 through a machine to earn one point. Could not find any materials that explained the point system.
I went last night with my Mom, though I didn't win my Mom sure did. She spent $70.00 of her own money and walked out with over $2,000.00. I wish I could say the same for myself but I'm so happy for my Mom. But we sure did get thirsty and waiting for someone to come around to get a cup of coffee was almost non-existent. And waiting for someone to come to pay my Mom was also a long long wait, but well worth it for my Mom LOL
the slots are too tight..have lost nearly 43,000 in the last 2 weeks in 4 visits and the free slot play we get is nothing, $20....what kind of business are they running?...the parx casino looks very good,is close by that's why have stopped going to atlantic city but they are stretching their advantage too far..in due time when people stop coming they will realize....anyway, come on is the casino commisssion people putting a check on the slots here?...god knows
