Ten of POKER ROOM IS ONE HUGE MISTAKE.needs to be corrected Me and my friends drive from ny to Parx 3x a week since it opened. I play all table games and 2 hours of poker.
Pennsylvania’s 12 casinos have poker rooms, but the size, game offerings, promotions and amenities vary quite a bit.Here is a look at the three poker rooms in the Philadelphia area — Parx,SugarHouse, andHarrah’s — with a rundown what each has to offer.
Harrah’s Philadelphia
Located in Chester (just outside Philadelphia), Harrah’s Poker Room is in the heart of Pennsylvania poker country. The room is of average size for the region, with 28 cash-game tables, and offers daily tournaments at 11:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. most days.
Harrah’s runs several monthly poker promotions. Currently, players will find high-hand jackpots every 30 to 60 minutes and a promotion where anyone showing a qualifying full house is entered into a monthly drawing.
With so much competition nearby, the room offers a couple of interesting options players won’t find in many other poker rooms. Harrah’s allows players in time-raked games to “Run it Twice” and players in any Hold’em or Omaha game can post a Mississippi Straddle — basically posting a straddle from any position, which makes the next player the first to act pre-flop.
Stakes and games typically found at Harrah’s are:
- $2-$6 limit hold’em
- $1/$2 no limit hold’em ($60-$300 buy-in)
- $1/$3 no limit hold’em ($100-$500 buy-in)
- $2/$5 no limit hold’em
- $5/$10 no limit hold’em
- $5/$10 Omaha 8 or better

Parx Casino
With over 80 tables, Parx can lay claim to being the largest poker room in Pennsylvania. It’s also one of the only poker rooms in the state with consistent high-stakes action.
Unlike most of its competitors (which offer two daily tournaments), Parx only offers one daily tournament, mixing night and daytime starts, but the poker room also runs multiple tournament series throughout the year.
The casino has an ongoing bad-beat jackpot. Monthly promotions at Parx run the gamut, with the casino currently running a high-hand giveaway every half-hour, along with a grand-prize drawing at the end of the month.
Stakes and games typically found at Parx are:
- Limit hold’em: $3/$6 – $6/$12 – $15/$30 – $40/$80
- No limit hold’em: $1/$2 – $1/$3 – $2/$5 – $10/$10 – $10/$25
- PLO: $5 single blind – $5/$5
- PLO8: $1/$2
- Omaha 8 or better: $8/$16 – $10/$20 – $15/$30 – $30/$60
- Mix games: $6/$12 – $10/$20 – $15/$30 – $30/$60
- State-approved games are available upon request

After moving from a temporary home to its permanent location in early 2016, SugarHouse has the newest and swankiest poker room in the state. The 28-table room has all the modern niceties, including backlit tables, in-seat text-to-order food service and full charging stations at every position.
SugarHouse is also a branded Poker Night in America poker room and routinely hosts televised cash games and tournament series.
SugarHouse’s daily tournament schedule consists of a nightly tournament during the week and three tournaments on weekends typically.
SugarHouse is big on promotions, notably its hourly high-hand giveaways. This core promotion is often augmented as is the case right now, where SugarHouse is offering:
- 3x giveaways at select times on Tuesday and Sunday where a high hand prize is awarded every 20 minutes;
- $300 every 30 minutes at select times on Monday and Wednesday;
- $500 every 30 minutes at select times on Thursday and Friday;
