Phone number: 1-888-LUV-PARX

Parx Casino, located roughly 15 miles north of Philadelphia, opened the doors to its permanent sportsbook in August 2019 and immediately became known as one of the best sportsbooks in Pennsylvania. Parx spent over $10 million in building this sportsbook and it shows as no detail was spared.

Let's start with the most important feature of any sportsbook: The screens and video wall. Parx has an incredible video wall that stretches the entire length of the 7,400-square-foot sportsbook and even curves and stretches onto the side walls. The screen is broken up into multiple sections and can show up to 36 events at once so that all the big games can be seen at the same time. There are also odds boards placed on both ends of the video wall.

For seating, there are roughly 200 leather recliners in the sportsbook that all face the main video wall. These chairs are super comfortable and make for an incredible sports viewing experience. There are also three VIP booths that can be rented out. The booths are good for around six people and a significant part of the fee can be used towards food and drink credit. There is also seating available around the full-serve bar, which is located in the back of the sportsbook.

To make a bet at Parx, head to one of the six betting windows or use one of the 18 betting kiosks. These are really easy to use and are conveniently placed all around the sportsbook. There are even a few placed on the casino floor. The kiosks are an easy way to browse the large selection of bets available at Parx without feeling the pressure of having your bet ready when you go see a live ticket writer. When ready, simply tap the bet you want, insert your cash, and print your ticket.

With a full bar in the sportsbook, it's easy to get a drink at the Parx Sportsbook. There is even waiter service for those who don't want to leave their seats. Bettors can also access the casino's Beer Garden, which makes for a great place to get away from the games for a cold drink and a bite to eat. If you get hungry while watching a game inside the sportsbook, there is a limited food menu that comes from the Liberty Bell Gastropub next door.

One more thing that has to be mentioned about the Parx Casino Sportsbook: The LED lighting on the ceiling can be adjusted based on whatever local team is playing that day. So if it's an Eagles game, the sportsbook gets a green theme. If it's a 76ers game, it turns to red, white, and blue. If it's the Phillies...you get the idea. We told you no detail was spared when they made this sportsbook and we weren't kidding.

Overall, the sportsbook at Parx Casino is one of the best in Pennsylvania and on the east coast of the United States. If you're in the Philly area, it's definitely worth a trip.

Does Parx Casino Sportsbook have an online app?

Yes, Parx Casino Sportsbook has an online app that bettors can use anywhere in the state of Pennsylvania.

How to get free drinks at the sportsbook?

Parx Casino Sportsbook does not offer free drinks to bettors. 

There are, however, free drinks available on the casino floor, so someone in search of a free drink could go put a few dollars into a slot machine, order a drink, and then bring it into the sportsbook.

How old do you need to be to enter the sportsbook?

As with all sportsbooks in Pennsylvania, bettors must be 21 years of age or older.

How do you make a bet at the sportsbook?

There are three ways to make a sports wager at Parx Casino:

  2. At a self-serve kiosk. These are located in the sportsbook and on the casino floor and are very easy to use. 
  3. On your phone. Simply download the Parx Casino Sportsbook app and make bets from anywhere in Pennsylvania.
