I will give an honest review of the casino like a few others have and unlike others who lost their bankroll and are upset because they lost $$ in a casino none the less. Parx from an atmosphere point of view is a nice looking casino and, with the exception of a few employees, overall are nice folks. No matter what business you go to there will be bad or rude employees and it is to be expected. Speak up if you have a problem and let it be known. Now to the gaming aspect of the casino. I have played the slots a few times and there are machines that pay and machines that don't. This is typical of any casino and it comes down to the microsecond you hit the button and the number in the RNG at that exact moment. Now for the real beef I have with this casino. I am a craps player and when I play I will play the inside numbers and on a $5 table I will have $22 in action at a time. You will NEVER find a $5 table, occasionally one $10 table but the norm is always a $15 dollar table. I would have to have $66 in action just to play the game at this level. I have driven to Parx 4 times in the last month and walked right back out because of the table limits and they didn't get a dime off of me. The worst is when you check the live gaming guide on the computer and see $15 limits but 56 open seats available. What should that tell the management? The limits are too high!! It is no reason my time is spent at the Atlantic Club in Atlantic City or the Mohegan Sun in Wilkes-Barre. $5 tables are the norm at these casinos even on the weekends!! I get weekly mailers from the Mohegan Sun and got 360 in free slot play in February for my $1800 I bought in for over the 2012 year. Yes 1800 gave me 360 in slot play. The Atlantic club sent me 1700 in match play for the entire month of March. What do you get from Parx?? Nothing, you need to spend 200 just to get 1 point in their rewards program. Every dollar I spent at the other casinos moves me in their rewards program and I get a little back.

I was passing philly and decided to stay one night in area to play at parx. The outside was beautiful with big screens and colorful changing walls. My first impression when i walked in was vegas like. You want to see bland go to empire city and monticello. I first played during the day. My fav is quick hit playboy. I hit a bonus for 180. Then i walked around. Had a burger and fries and it was really good. Made all my money back and walked away to come back at night. Returned that night played a different playboy and hit a lot of bonuses. Then went to the machine i played earlier. Had terrific hits especially a bonus for over five hundred. Ordered a drink got it right away and talked with the pleasant woman at players club who knew where all the machines were. I never use players club because i never win when i use it. I think the people who gave this casino a bad rap don't play right and lose a lot because i found nothing wrong with it. There are certain times you play where you can win at any casino. do your homework. If you want a very tight casino go to empire city. You will see the difference.

Good people... BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! This place has the ABSOLUTLE WORST MANAGEMENT and "customer service" of any casino I've ever been to, in my entire life. I've been playing in casinos from Las Vegas to Atlantic City for nearly 20 years, and to make a very long story short, the experience I had in this place, was by far, the WORST I've ever had in any casino. STAY AWAY (as far as possible)! I wish I could give ratings of 0 for Customer Service and Gaming Atmosphere, but I can't. Good luck wherever you play, but trust me, you don't want it to be here.

If you wish to get lung cancer, or breathe in stale, disgusting air from cigarette and cigar smoke, then you have gone to the right place. Parx Casino is the place to be. This place does not even designate smoking and non smoking sections. Everywhere you go, there is always someone lighting up...even where there are no ash trays.

Although this casino is one of the largest in the area, it is so full of cigarette smoke. Even in the designated non-smoking areas. People are incredibly rude when they blow cigarette smoke in your face while playing, rather than ask if the smoke bothers you? Also, another annoyance are the cleaning people. They would vacum or clean directly at your playing station, disrupting your play, rather than wait until you are done. They don't even say excuse me most of the time. The loitering, though, is not as bad here as it is at Sands Bethlehem. At least the majority of people here play and not stand right in back of you.
