Parx Casino — Attraction in Bensalem Township

Update June 23, 2023: Poker room's bad beat jackpot is over $565,000 and they're running high hand contests often. Although this is the only casino that I go to anymore the consensus amongst the other poker players is that Parx is the nicest and best run poker room in the area including Atlantic City.

Update June 22, 2021: Regarding the poker room they have removed the plastic dividers and restored the tables back to 9 players. Although they say the poker room is back to full capacity due to dealer shortage there is usually a very long wait time for a seat at the 1-3 tables(1-2 tables are discontinued). For the past 3 visits the list on the 1-3 tables is 70+ which is a 2.5 hour wait. I recommend calling ahead and putting your name on the list. The long wait list happens on weekends and week days so don't assume it'll be short. The poker room floor staff need to verify the names on the list with player cards because people are cheating to get to the top of the list thus making everyone else wait even longer. Removing one star for that reason.

Update June 1, 2021: Its been 15 months since my last visit because of the pandemic. After being fully vaccinated I was curious to see how Parx's Poker Room was dealing with the pandemic. They have taken very good measures to help protect customers and employees from Covid19. Parx deleted 2 seats from each poker table and installed plastic dividers between each seat. It works very well because you can still see and hear the action of the game without being on top of each other. They also wipe down the seat and the arm rest before a new player sits down. When I last visited here over a year ago my biggest concern was with the vaping stench that permeated throughout the casino but this time there was none possibly because the casino was not at full capacity. So I'll definitely return and hope for the best. I'll give them 5 stars based on this visit.

Update Feb 1, 2020: Beware of the Vape Cloud! The vaping perfume stench will shock you as soon as you enter. Cigarette smoke is bad but Parx seemed to manage it and in the poker room it was nonexistent. But the vaping perfume stench is everywhere and attaches to your clothes and gets into your nose and lungs. It has progressively worsened to the point where I feel the toxicity is not worth the gamble, no pun intended. After a visit to Parx I had to immediately wash all my clothes twice to get that perfume stench out. I started to leave my winter coat in the car so I wouldn't have to wash it so often. Then I realized if that stench is so hard to get out of clothes than imagine what it's doing to my lungs??? Parx needs to ban vaping before they lose loyal customers like me. Not to mention the health effects on their employees.

Original review: Dealers are fast and professional. Poker room is new and kept clean. Poker room waitress staff are adequate to poor. There is no supervision to the poker room waitress staff which results in waiting times up to 70 minutes for a beverage. Waitresses claim they are understaffed. I've witnessed multiple times a full poker room with not one waitress on the floor. Waitresses often skip tables because because of no organization or supervision. Lately the mens bathroom floor is covered in urine, the fault of patrons, but the staff can't maintain it properly. Aside from these negatives which need to be addressed I like Parx and will continue to go there. For what it's worth I haven't felt the need to drive down to Atlantic City since...

A Review of the African American Chamber of Commerce Women Empowerment Luncheon at Parx East Casino

I had the absolute pleasure of attending the African American Chamber of Commerce Women Empowerment Luncheon at Parx East Casino today, and I must say, it was nothing short of breathtaking! From the moment I stepped into the venue, I could feel the electric atmosphere charged with enthusiasm, inspiration, and the spirit of empowerment.

The event was impeccably organized, showcasing the incredible talents and resilience of women in our community. The decor was elegant yet inviting, creating a warm setting that fostered connection and camaraderie among attendees. It was a beautiful celebration of our achievements and a powerful reminder of the potential we hold as women.

The speakers were truly outstanding, each sharing their unique stories of triumph and offering insights that resonated deeply with all of us. Their messages were not just empowering but also ignited a fire within us to continue breaking barriers and supporting one another in our journeys.

A special shoutout to the staff at Parx Casino, who provided exceptional service throughout the event. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and friendliness made the entire experience feel seamless and enjoyable. From the delicious catered meal to the smooth execution of every aspect of the program, it was clear that they went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction.

Overall, this luncheon was more than just an event; it was a transformative experience that left us all feeling uplifted and motivated. I walked away with new connections, renewed purpose, and a heart full of gratitude. Thank you to the African American Chamber of Commerce for organizing such an impactful event, and to Parx East Casino for being the perfect host. I can't wait for next year’s luncheon—let’s keep the momentum going!

Ok. Lets face it..Parx sucks..excuse the language..I am just thoroughly fed up with the way they treat their patronage..not only for the lack of comps when you lose hundreds .thousands of dollars..but its the lack of simple courtesy. The drinks that rarely come around..the lack of the people that work there caring if you are even safe.. I have had phones stolen..money..and actuallly have been assaulted there..and nothing was done...and I will say this.. this is not how Parx always treated the consumer.... Its just the way they do business now..not caring anymore..and I know for a fact since i gave my first bad reviwe of Parx... I rarely win...but I honestly dont care..I think its more importqnt to give your opinion to make others aware..even if you are negatively affected. And I will keep giving my opinion until Parx steps up... .gives back to the community.... to not only the people thst spend exorbitant amounts of money but also to the people that have little.. but have hope they will win. And that Parx should recognize should acknowledge as have made them one of the highest revenue casinos in the area..Its actually so sad that Parx has list sight of this..and the more money they make.. being the casino with the highest revenue because they are centrally located..the lower their standard of service has become .. it is kind of disgusting how they treat the people that keep coming here because it is at a convenient location.. This is just my experience..but I hsve found it is shared by many... .and I will keep sharing my opiniom..keel posting reviews until Parx steps up..and starts appreciating the people that consistently come there hoping it will change. Please feel free to comment..because so many have shared witn me the same experience..I honestly welcome someone sharing something positive regarding...
