Parx Casino (Bensalem, PA) -- FAQ in OP - Page 25 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

For one that's been to the racetrack building for many years the poker room location is the best place it can be.The 3rd floor is large and you will not have to compete with the casino building for parking.If the room is busy my only request would be to upgrade the food service area's.This would be a win win situation for both sides.

You are right, it is great space for a poker room. We have plans to have 61 poker games eventually.

The free parking is pretty awesome. If alcohol is also free, I will visiting pretty often. Saving 20-25 dollars a trip would be very nice indeed. I may have to come down opening night, sounds like it's gonna be a great room.

All sounds terrific. Only question, and apologize if silly, what is a $2 value chip?

It means they will have $2 chips for use in games like 8-16, 6-12, etc.

Ari,

Are there any plans to have other games like Stud 8 or even HOSE? I suppose that it would depend on people making a list and getting enough to sign up, but are you training dealers in 'non-standard' games?

I am anxiously awaiting the opening date.
