Not Good.
Review:
I have never lost so much money so quickly.
The people park like animals. I have never seen so many people park in the striped corners of the lot, where you are not supposed to park. People also park in between handicapped spaces.
I was hoping I would like this place as it is the second closest casino to where I live in Norhteast NJ.
I drove to Harrah's Chester and played for 7 hours. Not only did I not lose money I won back half of what I had lost at this dump.

Review:
Philadelphia Park Casino is a poor example of a casino. First of all, you are forced to park outside and walk quite a distance.
Once inside, the converted horse ractrack is stuffed with many slot machines and little of anything else. The service is relatively poor. You do not see a security presence and the waitstaff appears very infrequently and sports an attitude. The worst part of the place is the horrible choice of gaming machines.
There are very few 'reasonably priced' machines. Most of them are higher denomination or multiple coin machines. You get the idea they are attempting to get rich quick.
The final insult is the extremely low hit rate on the machines. We normally play at Atlantic City where the payouts are not the greatest, but somewhat acceptable. But at Phila Park, it is like someone turned off the 'win' switch.
You can play for hours on the same machine and be rewarded with nothing more than a few credits by getting a Cherry once in a blue moon. The hit rates are so infrequent that it is not enjoyable to play there.
The management at this place must be very inexperienced at gaming. Once the word gets out that Philadelphia Park has poor payback rates, they will lose most of their customers. Greed does NOT pay.
