How Parx Became the King of Pennsylvania Casino Gaming

August 2, 2021 by Gigi Leave a Comment

Parx Casino opened its doors in the ‘70s and has been on an upward trajectory since then. It is unique among local casinos due to its location, tradition, and management experience. As the greatest generator of gaming revenue in Pennsylvania, it is obvious that this is only the case because of the support it receives from gamblers all over the state.

A great location

Parx Casino in Bensalem, PA, is a gaming and entertainment destination with history. It is located only 15 miles from Philadelphia and not far off the 1-95, PA Turnpike and US-1. In 1974, this is where Keystone Racetrack was located. Bob Green and Bill Hogwood bought it in 1990, and these experienced gaming men made some changes that drew people from all over to gamble on the horses.

Gambling continues at this spot today, with people coming from all over Pennsylvania to play at the casino’s slot machines and play table games like roulette, poker, craps, and baccarat. Today, its real money slots online are also very popular. Since its debut, Parx has been the leader in slots revenue.

Management experience

Anthony Franca was hired in 2008 and became General Manager of Parx in 2013. He has a dual MBA in business and engineering, as well as years of experience in the casino business. He started his career in Atlantic City and watched as Pennsylvania began to attract many gamblers away from Atlantic City casinos. He believes the interaction of his team members with guests goes a long way towards bringing them back because they feel appreciated.

Many dining options and amenities

Parx Casino is the perfect destination for those who want to travel to Pennsylvania and enjoy some great entertainment. Dining options at Parx Casino include both fine dining and fast food. Patrons can sit down for an upscale meal, enjoy farm-to-fork dishes, or buy some grab-and-go bites.

The x-lounge is a good spot to enjoy a craft beer and a 24-hour sports bar features a huge HD video wall that can display 36 games at a time.

A great relationship with its host community

Parx Casino has been in business for many years in Bensalem and has a good relationship with the neighborhood and its non-profits. Those who start a business create jobs for people and Parx Casino has done just this – it employs about 1,500 people in Bensalem.

Play Gun Lake Casino in Michigan, which is operated and run by Parx, also has a beneficial relationship with its local community. According to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, Parx has donated over $36.5 million to charity over the past six years. This is in addition to casino taxes that help host communities.
