Parx Casino

I had a great time at Parx Casino even though luck wasn’t on my side this visit. The atmosphere is lively, clean, and full of energy, making it a fun place to spend time. One thing I really liked is that if you play for more than 15 minutes, they offer you free drinks, coffee, or water, which adds a nice touch to the experience. The staff are friendly and quick to assist, and the food options are surprisingly good and reasonably priced, especially for a casino. Whether you want a snack or a full meal, there’s plenty of choice. Overall, it’s a great place to relax, enjoy some games, and grab a bite. I’ll definitely be coming back again — hopefully with better luck next time!

First time visiting this spot. Really a nice place love it and very good decor! Highly recommend! Great place if you’re looking for a great casino!

Saw Kansas at this venue! Great concert, great seats 2nd row. Thank you guys for putting on such a great show such talent:)! Rockin over 50+ years!! Friendly staff and lots of them to help. Parking lot was huge, they did have security driving around that was a plus. Also have valet.

Well run poker room establishment. Got myself a rewards card and was seated in a timely manner!! Definitely will be back when in PA / NJ region.

I did pretty good with $40.00, I played the 0.01 cent quick hit machine for $1.60 and won $186.00. And played some other machines. That's good for me 😌

Very good experience at Parxs Casino with a lot of gambling machines and pocker tables, a few bars, restaurants and a food court, very clean bathrooms is a fun place for adults only. I highly recommend it. The staff is friendly. Thank you.

I wanted to share an experience my family had in this casino. My parents were siting in an area, the lady in the middle, tells my dad that he can’t sit there and someone is siting there. So my dad leaves but then the lady starts yelling I’m going to call ice and the police on you. We made a report but nothing much was done. We just recommend that if you are Hispanic or of any other ethnicity to be careful, if you decide to do go there.

I love that I live near Parxs Casino. The comps there were just not as good as other casinos so I choose not to gamble there often but i still go! I love the entertainment that they bring to the suburbs of Philadelphia. They have headline entertainment, really cool themed brunches and food/alcohol events like bourbon tasting. In addition to the headliners that they bring to the area, they also have some great bands that perform on the weekend and a comedy show during the week. My favorite part about the casino is that there's a Chickie and Petes inside so I can get my fix of their amazing crab fries. There is always plenty of free parking and you can valet as well if you don't want to walk from the large parking area. The facility is always spotless and the bathrooms are clean, which I really appreciate.

No hotel we had to walk from the courtyard No sidewalk at the casino Slots didn't win like Vegas Not as much rewards for gambling Only good court available before 11 or noon It is beautiful The liberty bell food was good and great bar staff!!!!!

UB40 ‼My first concert here‼ What a wonderful time . Great choice of 80s hit maker. The room isn't too big so everyone has a good seat. The stage is also elevated so everyone can see. The concert goers have their own bathroom (that we don't share with the gambling public.) It was such a wonderful evening with such great entertainment couldn't be more pleased with the evening. All the staff really took care of everything got us to our chair so easily. Everything was just so well organized. And the merchandise was located directly outside of the main entrance( in the casino.) Afterwards, it seems like a lot of the concert covers. Enjoyed the DJ at the bar playing similar reggae music.. It was a very wonderful evening!!

Beautiful casino with a helpful staff. I think my favorite parts were the horse head statue out front and the blown glass on display. Enjoyed seeing the Liberty Bell too. I didn't think the casino was that big on the inside but it was HUGE. My gripes: parking for handicap is a nightmare. There are only a few spots and all were taken. It would've been better if they had multi-level parking. And also, by my count, and I may be wrong, there were only 2 restrooms in the whole place. Not good for people who have difficulty walking.

Im not, nor ever have been, a gambler. I like casinos for the food and shows. Id never been to Parx, but Sir lives nearby and his friend, Mike, was performing.. I saw him before, and he is great, as is his band, LECOMPT. Super nice guy too! A really good, raspy and strong voice, a high energy performer, and he has a lot of personality! Diverse music to boot. I liked the pretty casino and the bar we watched Lecompt at. Friendly service and a good crowd. I want to go back to see the horses race and Id absolutely go back to see Lecompt again or another good band.

I picked one star because zero wasn't available. The amount of money you need to to go to a bonus is ridiculous on all machines especially calling out names I feel like you're paying for the that the people are winning. I wouldn't let my dog shit on their carpet. They are the worst. I'd rather go to Sugar House and chance getting robbed and come back here.

I'm not the biggest gambler, but I like to take my chances every once in a while. My mom and aunt like to visit this casino here and there and I've been here a few times. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Atlantic City, Parx is one of the places to go. During my most recent visit with my aunt, we arrived around 2 pm on a Saturday. The parking lot was packed and we had to park further away. Now I know I look young, but let's be for real. I know I look older than 21. Every single time I come here, security is asking for my ID. It's kind of annoying considering I'm almost double that age, but they're doing their job, I guess. (Insert sarcastic eye roll.) Needless to say, you lose money fast here. They're definitely monitoring you if you insert your card into the slot machines. My aunt had better outcomes when she took her card out of the machine. However, using your card is what helps you earn points so you can get the promotions. The choice is yours. I've never dined at any of the restaurants here, but there are several restaurants in the area that may be cheaper than what the casino has to offer.

We had dinner at Parxgrill and the food was delicious! Our server Amanda was excrement attentive and offered great recommendations. We will definitely be back.

First visit was for a comedy show last weekend and this casino is great. The venue to see the show was great. They even provided bottled water for free going in. (I guess they knew the crowd). There are plenty of places to eat and the drink prices are reasonable. After the show we gambled of course and they have a great selection of slots and table games. Parking lot is huge and because of the event valet was $25. We had dinner before we arrived so I can't comment on the food but with Chicky and Pete's plus the Yard I know I'd be able to find something good.

This place is a joke! They will tier match my seven stars but it doesn't do anything from tier matching here. What is the point of doing so? Used my free money here and take the 20k brought to Atlantic city and play like i was going to. They would not let me charge my rental car here either. Im paying for the thing why can I not stay in the car and charge while my girl is inside playing. They made me leave the property. Do not recommend at all.

Nasty workers, poor communication. Customers aren't treated well even though we keep y'all employees employed. Y'all will lose people daily/weekly until things improve. I was harassed by two male workers, totally despicable.

I'm actually surprised to see low ratings for Parx. We go to Parx often and I think it's one of the better casinos. Pretty large casino, lots of game options and a couple good restaurants. I've been to Mount Airy recently and Parx is hands down better. We get some nice free gifts from Parx as well. I play table games and poker mainly, most dealers are friendly and knowledgeable. Clean, cool environment as well. I will be back in a couple weeks for my free Parx jacket . (Check out this pic I took of a double rainbow outside Parx when we were leaving last time; Parx reps: if you use this photo, I want royalties!!! LOL)

The service there is outrageous. They treat you like dirt and not like paying customer. And in my case paying big bucks. A cocktail waiter named Phil is rude, acting like a high school girl, should be let go for sure. He allows himself to choose who he is serving and who is not worthy. I guess his interest lies only with guys hence the rudeness.

A small casino with your normal tables, slot machines, sports betting, and restaurants. The slots aren't the newest games and selection is quite slim. Most of the machines are asian themed so I found that to be not very interesting. Definately not like Atlantic city but if you want to gamble and don't want to travel all the way to AC, then this would be your closest option. Parking is also free which is great.

This Parx Casino i going down so bad. I was there last Sunday night around 7:30pm in poker area next to the Cashier, I was play the Texas holdem but the young Asian floo girl was so rude and bossy so I told her be humble you are still young then she calls the security man came to tell me go home and can't come back fo 48 hours. This is bad customer service. Im so appreciate not letting me back in 48 hours. Will never go back there again...

First off the casino is beautiful and clean, with the latest games. On which I win on every time I go. However, last night when we went we had a couple things happening to us. I misplaced my players X club card and went to the main cashier to get a replacement. Since players club was closed we walked across the entire place only to get a surly, unattractive cashier at the cage. Not only looking like a New Jersey Cylon, this woman mumbled something about the cashier against a brown wall then dismissively turned away. But not before ROLLING HER EYES at me , which I didn't see yet my Boyfriend witnessed from behind me away from the line. And when my BF misplaced his phone it took a VERY long time for security to get it back to him, plus many of the people working there were just not nice. I'll continue to go and take their money but it's just not very friendly at all.

Winning. Dead as a doorknob. Just spending money..traveling the turnpike to lose every cent. Going to the mac machines every trip is just ridiculous. Not a happy or satisfied customer in the least. It took me about 5 months this time just to retain my black card status. It truly is time for me to become willing to drive further because Parx, for me is horrible

Came tonight to see the Chris Tucker show tonight at the Xcite Center inside this casino. Very nice room. A win win in any seat. Cheapest tickets still see good because it is not a huge place. Tonight they locked up all phones in a pouch. When you leave the unlock the pouch and you get your phone back. First time I been to a venue that done that. They wanted no photos or videos being taken. And they made the announcement that if you are caught doing so. The show would be stopped till the person was escorted out of the event. This casino itself seems like they stepped up their game. Last visit I notice more and more people smoking through out the building. Today it was like a breath of fresh air all through. Seen no one smoking at all. Not sure if they been cracking down or if people are just following the rules today. They have new games since my last visit. More lights, noisy machine bells and whistles and bonuses lol. And the still have the old Willy Wonka up front still cashing out. Lol love that game. The card table "War" was full as usual. That is one game they need to have 5 tables of. But only have the 1. Read my review Parx.. MORE WAR TABLES Valet parking is outrageous at $25 now and then they looking for tip. Really. There "TIP" today is lower the price to $10 - $15. Will be back. PA has several casino's less then 1 hr 15mins from me. Always beats the 2 hr drive to AC. So I frequent them enough over a yrs time. Last yr I did win 3 jackpots. So who's complaining.

Awesome food at bambu. Convenient, because open late along with food court. Braised beef soup and General Tzus are my favorite. The waitress was very sweet too-Pei Pei. Will definitely come back to eat again.

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

Great venue for a concert! Space is easy to navigate. Good food and service! I will definitely be back.

Here at Bambo restaurant our bartender Damon Danko was very helpful and friendly! We also met Nate Powell and he was very informative about the Casino and super friendly!! He was amazing!

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.

SO and I visited on Memorial Day. There's a good mix of electronic and table games here with reasonable minimums...was at the MGM National Harbor the day before if anyone is familiar with their minimums. The poker room is average size. The dealers and pit bosses appeared friendly. I lost money at roulette and made it back at the slots. All of the restaurants were closed, so it was either Bambu or Chickie's and Pete's, which was dark and we don't usually eat at places where we can't see what we're eating. We made it in time for Bambu's 3 course price fixe menu for $18, which is offered 7 days a week from noon to 3pm.  We started off with a pot of hot oolong tea and, soon after, the house special hot and sour soup came...this soup is nice and hearty! For appetizers we shared the fried pork & shrimp potstickers with soy glaze and the bacon and shrimp roll with spicy mayo.  These were ok, not bad. For entrees, we shared the chicken in black bean sauce and the beef chow fun.  This was a perfect combo of veggies, carbs and protein.  The beef chow fun was comforting and stuck to your ribs...also had a good amount of beef.  The chicken in black bean sauce was our favorite...it was cooked and sauced perfectly and the vegetables were fresh! Bottom line, the service was fast and there were a couple bright spots with the food.  Add in the free tea and this is an overall good lunch with good value!

So everybody that come to Parx casino needs to stop really need to band Parx is nothing but a rip off. They do the same thing for the same people all the time I've been coming here forever every day and they have not yet to let me win anything other people coming here they win right away. It doesn't make any sense. I've been here since 12:30 in the morning and I have yet to win anything gaming commission came over, and they are full of shit. They work for the casino not for the people. IThey are horrible. Go to Rivers or live. Go somewhere Else. Please people stop going to Parx casino. They say they don't know who you are and the players card does not matter Yes it doe. They are watching everyone.

Stay away. Slots are tight, the tables aren't very good. Machine hogging is rampant. Stop in Chickies and grab a beer otherwise the gambling sucks

"I was disappointed with my recent visit. The dealer's attitude was not as professional as I expected, which affected my experience. I hope management can address this for future visits I don't think I'll be back this casino again

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.

What exactly are you looking for in a casino located in Bensalem? Parx Casino is getting a number of downtrodden reviews, how you weight air quality, luck on machines, and whatever other factors you value the most will impact your ultimate star rating. I have over 116 check-ins at Parx Casino over the years, poker player, ex-casino worker, and frequenter of casino, here lies my evaluation. Poker : Poker room is large with high limit poker tables on the right side of the room and the majority of the room filling up with more low to mid stakes poker games. They also run poker tournaments based on a set schedule you can find on the Bravo app along with how long of a wait you may encounter to get a seat at your game of choice any time of the day. As far as poker rooms are concerned this is a very nice room and relatively new in number of years running in the new location away from their other building strictly set up for horse racing. You will also find multiple kiosks for sports betting along with one or two ATMS. I would give the room either 4/5 stars or 5/5 based off it being located in Bensalem and not the likes of Vegas. Slots : It appears they have a quite massive layout of slots scattered throughout the party with many bars where you can dip in for a to go drink if you do not feel like waiting for a cocktail waitress. I know a few people that have indeed hit nice jackpot or two here but I myself cannot comment on how loose the slots are as I only put in a twenty every few years when vacationing down at the Atlantic City casinos. Restaurants : Be careful...unfortunately not many good options. The soup is a good pick me up at the main dining outlet but other than that I would advise going outside the casino for food, there is an Applebee's right at the corner when you turn into the entrance for the Parx Casino. So there you have it. Stop in for an event at the Xcite Center or a day to blow off some steam if gambling is your thing! As always people SYOY!!

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 .

Horrible experience. The place is dirty and the staff is the rudest and most unprofessional I have ever encountered....ever!! Save your money and go anywhere else! This place is disgusting.

This must be one of the worst paying casinos in the state of Pennsylvania. I hold the highest tier cards at casinos on the other side of the state. First slot session lost $500 in like 30 minutes betting between $1-$3. Thought bad luck,went back a couple days later. Lost $500 in like 30 minutes betting between $1-$3. Had a ticket issue. The machines wouldn't accept it. Then a machine rejected it and it got caught in the machine. I eventually get part of it out. I go to the cage and they are acting like I stole the ticket or something. Eventually I had to sign for a $40 ticket. What a joke of a casino. As a high tier member at numerous casinos, I can't stress enough to avoid this one. I'll give them a star for being non-smoking and clean. I smoke, but appreciate a non-smoking casino. Going outside to smoke breaks up my play.

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.

finally a new racing announcer to call the races at Parx race course today. not sure what her name is but she is way off calling races she is not consistent in race calling

Completely lacking in customer service. No one knows how to answer any questions. They have customer service through the phones that just answers the phone and says they can't help you and to come in even though it's an hour away and they may not be able to do anything to help. Really a trash experience.

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.

RTP( return to player) is absolutely horrendous, you can play 2-3 thousand easily and it will last for 40 minutes or so-I tried different machines on different days, and did not win any significant bonuses-by significant I mean at least 100$,considering that I bet quite high. I also play at Rivers with the same amount of money and I can last for 9 hours or more, and walk out with nice winnings. Parx Bensalem has bad reviews at Tripadvisor as well, people mostly give 5 starts to the restaurants, but gambling itself truly sucks. They used to respond to comments from players,but not anymore, I guess they became to " Big" and ' important" and do not really care if you visit them or not.So I suggest you don't, you will be disappointed.

We decided to celebrate our niece's 21st birthday, at Parx casino and we spent most of our time in the Beer Garden. Our bartender/server David T was amazing! He was incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed to have a great time. His specialty drinks were incredible! Thank you, David for making our celebration so fabulous!

We visited here to go to the XCite Center to see Jo Koy. Not a huge venue so seats seemed good wherever you sat. We aren't gamblers so I can't comment on the games. The casino was clean and we didn't smell any disgusting cigarette smoke. We had no trouble self-parking pretty close to the entrance at around 6pm on a Thursday. I was excited to see they have a Chickie and Pete's restaurant in here! We stopped and ate our faces off lol. The ultimate crab fries here just can't be beat. Bonus is that the restaurant is right next to the XCite Center!

The managers on black jack table are so rude Why should the dealer say after i lost the hand ohh thats nice why the fk are they so rude never again after this

Attended the first annual Buck's county wine festival today, had a blast! Parx casino restaurants and other local eateries provided delectable bites til enjoy along side a variety of wine tastings. Parxgrill had the best dish: tenderloin with smoked gouda mac n cheese! Yum. Nothing bundt cakes deserves the second place with fabulous cakes! Loved the strawberry and cream, lemon, white chocolate raspberry, red velvet and chocolates cakes! We will be placing an order with them in the future. I must mention AZ Gourmet Foods Inc, delicious cheesesteak dumplings, yes, cheesesteak dumplings! There is nothing else to say about that! The chef cook offs were entertaining, wine selection was good and varied. The band was nice. We are planning to come to the second annual Buck's county wine festival!

Damon in Bambu is THE MAN! His knowledge of the casino was top notch and he remembered what we wanted to drink every time we came back into the bar from the casino! We had an awesome conversation about golf and about the history of parx. Great guy I will be back!

Parx casino. My lord. Really bro? I mean. Stop. I dare you to go eat dinner at Bambu and not get violently ill after. Be sure to catch a Kenny Chesney concert and the backup guy from Who's Line is It Anyway that no one knows their name. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the beautiful Street road. There's no hotel on premises so you'll have to stay at the Rodeway motel. Score crack cocaine and get hepatitis from using the toilet. The VIP outright scammed me with the comps there.

Terrell Moore was amazing! He is very polite, attentive and helpful. It was very busy and he continued to check on us. Deserves a raise!

It's definitely not as fun or eye caching as a casino in Las Vegas, but Parx Casino certainly does hit the spot if you feel like doing some gambling and you don't feel like taking a big trip to do it. We stopped in last week and had a pretty good experience. Parking in the huge lot was a breeze, and when we went inside we were pleased to see that the place wasn't jam packed. Aside from the expected sea of slots and electronic card games, they also offered lots of table gaming options and a poker room which was really nicer than I expected. As for negatives, I do have to mention the inexplicable lack of signage denoting their nonsmoking section. It was our first visit and we randomly walked in one of the entrances. By the look and smell of the place, it appeared to be a smoking casino. We're not smokers but figured, hey, were here, let's just play and get through it. So we wound up sitting in cigarette smoke for our entire visit, and to be honest it was really disgusting. As we we're leaving, we got to talking with one of the other patrons who had a similar gripe. However, towards the end of their visit, they accidentally discovered a non-smoking section on the other side of the casino. It would have been helpful to know that there were options when we arrived, Parx! We could have avoided sitting in second hand smoke for 3 hours. To fix this issue, all they'd have to do is put a sign up by the smoking entrance saying there's a nonsmoking option and vice versa at the other entrance. Common sense. Without this, how are people supposed to know there are 2 sections? The casino is cavernous and first timers may not have a solid lay of the land. On the plus side, at least we know for next time!

My Kia Sportage was stolen in front of the valet section of Parx Apparently staff wasn't paying attention,when some non-parxs employee,remove my keys that was place on top of driver side tire.A practice I often thought was unsafe.My wife and I requested a cab vouche.There reply was."Can someone pick you up? Rude,unconcern staff.There question they ask made us feel like the culprit.Police report file.Had to change me locks,because the thief stole my house keys Our nerves was running wild couldnt sleep last night,staying up to protect our home until new locks was installed this morning. Now we lack a car.Pissed off.angry,and frustrated.I thought our car would be secure in valet section.. apparently I was wrong.

I haven't been to this casino in about five years, maybe longer. But tonight I came with my family and my mother walked her walker over to guest services to get a scooter, only to be told they no longer have them here. She was hit by a car while walking across the street 20 years ago and has been disabled ever since. While she has come a long way since her accident, she still needs assistance when covering distances like one would in a large casino. Nevertheless, she smiled, said "ok" and we found a machine near the bathrooms and the exit. But as I sat there looking around, I saw elderly and not so elderly people pushing walkers, puttering about from one machine to another and I thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if they still had the little scooters for the disabled?" But they don't. That's quite interesting.

Want a GREAT poker room option??? Great food? Beautiful atmosphere and lots of table games and slots??? PARX is the perfect venue to visit. First off- the employees? Top notch- they know their stuff, they are professional, personable, and efficient. Highly recommend this venue for their shows, their play, the restaurants etc

Went to Sportsbook yesterday to place wagers on Kollege football. Back today, with the wife to cash tickets. We had some beers & apps at Chickie and Pete's. The wife noticed alotta noise and a crowd gathered by a slot machine very close to the entrance of the restaurant. Upon further review - it was a penny machine, and the 5 suspected "plants" clapping, cheering and dancing (over a $64. win) seemed too good to be true. Surely a "set up". We played a couple poker machines and guess what - the same 5 people were now situated near the front door of the casino on a nickel machine. Same cheering and hype. Even the older gent next to me noticed the "fraud". LOL. How hard up are you that you need to obviously pay people to "create a scene"......never before in my life had I seen such a staged scene. Whatever. Oh, 1pm on Sunday afternoon - the place was a ghost town.
