Parx Casino was one of the first casinos to act on just about every form of gambling expansion. However, some setbacks pushed the casino’s first foray into online gambling to June 2019.

As of June 27, Parx online sportsbook is fully operational and open to the public. The Parx online casino will soon be in the same vote. Parx was the first PA online casino to announce its plans to launch. Now it is officially live as of July 15.

Parx Online Casino Free Play

Here is a look at what they have going on across all fronts:

Overview of Parx online gambling plans

Parx Casino and Racing is one of eight Pennsylvania casinos that put in an application for a trio of interactive gaming licenses offered by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB). For $10 million, Parx will be able to offer online slot play, online table games, and peer-to-peer games, which basically means online poker.

The online casino launched with slots and a few different table games

Parx has a deal with software developer GAN.

GAN’s offering includes online sports betting in addition to the other types of gaming. PGCB conditionally approved its license at its Oct. 1 meeting. The retail sportsbook launched in January 2018, then the online betting app followed on June 27.

Parx Online Casino welcome bonus and details

Parx Online Casino wants new customer’s online casino accounts to be locked and loaded. It is offering a one-time deposit match bonus of 100% up to $500. All you need to do is use the promo code PARX500.

If you’ve previously deposited on the site to fund your sports betting account, never fear. Even if you’ve redeemed the sports betting promo of a $250 risk-free bet, you can still get the casino bonus.

Be aware that this bonus does come with a 20x playthrough requirement. Play on slots is rated at 100%, roulette is 50%, and other table games and video poker are a comparably low 10%.

Parx online casino loyalty program

Parx offers their land-based casino and sportsbook players access to their XClubloyalty program where players earncredits based on their play.

These credits earn players free slot play, on-site promotions and perks, discounts at local businesses, sweepstake entries and more. New players who sign up for the XClub program receive $10 in free slot play at the Parx Casino and Racetrack.

For both the Parx sportsbook and the Parx online casino, players can sync up their play and sports betting with their XClub account in order to accrue awards they can redeem at the Parx Casino property in Bensalem.

Parx online casino software

Parx is partnered with gaming technology company GAN, an industry leader with experience in the US market. GAN is also partnered with Betfair and Ocean Casino in New Jersey. They have also operated Parx’s social casino since 2015. This partnership, along with the land-based casino’s stellar reputation, makes Parx a force to be reckoned with.

Parx mobile app

At Parx online casino, players can play from their mobile devices anywhere in Pennsylvania.

Due to Apple’s policy change, the availability in the app store has put a damper on online gaming though. Currently, there is no solution for the nearly half of people with iPhones.

Android users can download the app from the Parx website. Unfortunately, the GooglePlay store does not accept gambling apps. The good news is, because the sportsbook and casino are integrated, you only need to download a single app.

To play on the Parx online casino app, players will need to be within the state of Pennsylvania. Some players with poor reception and who are close to the border may have trouble with geolocation. However, connecting to Wi-Fi or contacting support can usually fix this.

Parx Online Casino games

Parx Casino and Racing began operating in 2006 and has grown significantly.

Its popular casino floor boasts more than 3,500 slot machines and more than 130 live table games. There are also two poker rooms with 125 tables and the complex overlooks a functioning racetrack. As of January, Parx also is home to a live sportsbook.

Parx will look to expand its popularity with the online casino. With industry veteran GAN as a partner, Parx will certainly release an abundant number of games for players to enjoy online.

Parx online casino slots

Parx is a casino known for its expansive slot selection, so we are certain online slot players will be satisfied. The Parx social casino offers more than 170 slot titles.

Some popular games available at launch are:

• Jack and the Beanstalk
• Leonidas: King of Spartans
• Wold Cub
• Witchcraft Academy

Parx live dealer

An immensely popular feature for online casinos is live dealer games. These games bring the casino to the player by incorporating the interactive feature of streaming the game live.

Parx’s technology partner GAN has seen this success with Betfair. While live dealer was not available at launch, Parx announced it will eventually be part of its online casino offering.

Online video poker

Slot machines are far from the only games at Parx Casino. There are also varieties of video poker for online casino players to choose from. Currently, the site offers Jacks or Better video poker as well as Deuces Wild.

Other online games

Parx will offer a wide range of games other than slots for players to enjoy online eventually. At launch, you could play real money blackjack and both American and European roulette. There should be plenty of new games coming as the site develops though, such as:

• Craps
• Midi and mini-Baccarat
• Spanish 21
• Three card poker
• Four card poker
• Pai gow poker
• Pai gow tiles
• Sic Bo
• Let It Ride
• Casino War
• Big Six wheel

It is important to familiarize yourself with the format and rules of whatever game you decide to play. Also, try to avoid the games with the highest house and instead play games like blackjack, craps, and baccarat, which give you a better chance to win. One game that has a very high house edge and therefore you should not make a habit of playing is the Big Six wheel.

Online blackjack

With its reputation as both a game with a low house edge and one where both luck and skill determine the outcome, blackjack the casino’s most popular table game. The online offering should offer the same favorable odds.

James bond slot machine. Blackjack comes in many different variations, and these differences in the rules can also affect the likelihood of winning. But, in case you are wondering if any Pennsylvania casinos offer a better blackjack game than the others, the answer is that where you play doesn’t matter. All of the Pennsylvania casinos have the same rules, which have been preset by the PGCB and which give Pennsylvania one of the best blackjack games in the country. There is still a small house edge, but using basic strategy, it is only about .40 percent. Here are the PA rules:

• Blackjack pays 3:2
• Dealer stands on soft 17
• Doubling down permitted on any two cards
• Doubling down after splits
• Splits up to three hands (except aces)
• Late surrender (If the dealer does not have a blackjack, players who don’t like their hand can choose not to play it and give up half their bet.)

Blackjack side bets

Where the individual Pennsylvania casinos may differ is in the optional side bets that blackjack players can also make. These extra bets add to the cost of playing and have a higher house edge than the standard bets (following basic strategy), so other than making them very occasionally for small stakes just for fun, they are not recommended.

Parx online casino banking options

Getting money to and from online accounts safely and securely is key for new online players. Parx will offer a variety of options for players to deposit and withdraw from their account.

Players can expect to see the following options for casino deposits at Parx:

• ACH or e-check: This option is like writing a check directly from a bank account. While funds will be available to the online gaming account, it may take a few days to come from the bank account. Because of this, the ACH provider may place limits on deposit amounts.
• Visa, Mastercard, or discover: One of the most popular forms of payment is now available for online bets.
• Prepaid card: While this isn’t confirmed by Parx, many online casino operators offer a branded prepaid card for funding a player’s account.
• PayNearMe: Players can download a voucher and bring it to their local 7-Eleven convenience store to fund their account.
• Cash at the Parx Casino Cage: Players will be able to fund their online account at the cashier’s cage in the Parx Casino and Racetrack in Bensalem, PA.

Parx support

Parx is the top casino in Pennsylvania and will offer great support to its players.

Most questions can be answered on the sites FAQ page. Currently, the Parx site offers an in-depth guide to sports betting, although it might add more pages for online casino games.

For more information, players will can contact customer support via email and live chat. The support email is [email protected].

Who can play in the casino?

The minimum age to gamble at Parx Casino and Racetrack is 21, the same as at all of the licensed Pennsylvania casinos. This age requirement, set by the PGCB, is strictly enforced.

Security and fairness

Parx Casino and Racing, along with all of the other currently operating legal casinos in Pennsylvania, is licensed and regulated by the PGCB. This agency continues to monitor all aspects of each facility’s operation to ensure and maintain the highest standards for security and fairness.

Another reason Parx is safe and secure is its own long and impressive history in the gambling business. The PA racetrack has been not only been operating successfully for more than 40 years, but it also features prestigious races like the Pennsylvania Derby. Obviously, the horses’ owners and trainers are not about to jeopardize their well-earned professional reputation by being involved in any way with an operation whose integrity is in the least bit suspect.

Furthermore, out of all of the casinos in Pennsylvania, Parx was singled out to receive Philadelphia Magazine’sBest of Philly Award for 2016. While this casino, along with all of the other Pennsylvania casinos, has had its share of complaints from slots players about the machines being tight, the figures for July, 2016 show that the returns at Parx are above the norm for this state. Out of the 12 currently operating Pennsylvania casinos, a comparison of the slots payouts for July, 2016 showed that Parx was the best of the bunch with a payback percentage of 91.1 percent.

Rivers Casino Philadelphia, formerly SugarHouse Casino, is a casino entertainment development along the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's Fishtown neighborhood, one of five stand-alone casinos awarded a gaming license on December 20, 2006 by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

Parx Casino Address

History[edit]

SugarHouse Casino was awarded a gaming license on December 20, 2006 by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, along with four others.^[1] Many neighborhood residents sought to prevent the development of the casino due to quality of life issues. Residents of the Fishtown neighborhood have taken the lead in the creation and leadership of the prominent anti-casino organizations, including Casino Free Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Neighborhood Alliance, and Neighbors Allied for the Best Riverfront. On the other side, Fishtown Action (FACT), the largest membership organization in the nearby community with over 600 members, has continuously supported the casino project. This support is largely in part because of a community benefits agreement along with the New Kensington CDC.^[2]

The 1,300,000-square-foot (120,000 m²) casino complex is located on the 22-acre (8.9 ha) site of the former Jack Frost Sugar Refinery, hence the 'SugarHouse' name. Phase I, estimated at $550 million, includes a casino floor with 3,000 slot machines, and tables, along with a variety of retail and dining outlets. Future phases of the project include a 500-room hotel with health spa, a 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m²) event center, and expanded dining and retail facilities.^{[citation needed]}

It was estimated that SugarHouse Casino would generate in excess of $1 billion in gaming taxes to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the City of Philadelphia over the first five years of operation.^[3]

On April 15, 2008, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court convened in Philadelphia to determine if the City of Philadelphia had the right to lease the land where the casino was to be located. The city's Mayor Nutter revoked the SugarHouse license in January,^[4] and the city's lawyers claimed the city never had the authority to issue the license in the first place. The owners of SugarHouse Casino argued that the city could not legally revoke a license to build on the riverbank.^[5] On August 22, 2008 the Supreme Court ruled that the permits were legal.^[6]

Groundbreaking on the project began on October 9, 2009,^[7] The casino opened on September 23, 2010.^[8] and the first phase opened on September 23, 2010.^[9]

On July 22, 2014, SugarHouse casino broke ground on a project to expand the casino floor, add restaurants, add a parking garage, and bring more amenities to the riverfront. The expansion opened on May 9, 2016.^[10][11][12]

SugarHouse began offering online gambling in New Jersey in 2016. In fall 2018, SugarHouse added online sports betting in New Jersey.^[13]

On December 13, 2018, sports betting began at SugarHouse Casino with a two-day test period; official sports betting began on December 15, 2018. SugarHouse became the first casino in the Philadelphia area to offer sports betting.^[14] The casino initially operated out of a temporary sportsbook.^[15] On May 28, 2019, SugarHouse Casino became the first casino in Pennsylvania to offer online sports betting within the state of Pennsylvania.^[16] The permanent $5 million, 5,700-square-foot (530 m²) BetRivers Sportsbook opened in October 2019, consisting of a large HD video wall that can broadcast multiple games, six betting windows, and 22 self-serve betting kiosks.^[15] The casino offers betting on multiple sports including football, basketball, hockey, boxing, and soccer.^[17]

In 2019, SugarHouse's parent company, Rush Street Gaming, announced that the casino would be rebranded as Rivers Casino Philadelphia, matching the name used by Rush Street's other properties, including Rivers Casino Pittsburgh.^[18] The new name became official on October 29, 2019.^[19]

On July 17, 2019, SugarHouse conducted a soft launch for online gambling in Pennsylvania; the testing period lasted two days. Online gambling offered by SugarHouse consists of slot machines and table games, with online poker to launch at a later date.^[20]
