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.
