How about some reports on the 2 newest PA casinos (Philadelphia
Park
and Harrah's Chester) from you Philadelphia area members.
George in PA
I checked out Philadelphia Park on Sunday. The number of people
there prevented me from checking every machine. Based on what I saw
I would infer they have no video poker machines with a base pay
table in excess of 98%. For example, they have 8/5 Jacks, 6/5 Jacks
with quads paying 175, a version of All-American (USA Poker)
returning only 125 for quads, 9/6 Double Bonus, etc.
I did notice at least one progressive which, in theory, could
turn positive. However, with a 7/5 Jacks schedule, it would take a
long time and plenty of short-coiners for it to get there.
They had a promotion for January where anyone with a premium
card from another casino (e.g Diamond from Harrah's, black label
from Borgata) could receive a premium card for Philadelphia Park.
Which entitled you to two free meals at Philadelphia Park every day
(only for January), preferred seating at the buffet, and free valet
parking.
Because of how late in the month I waited to go there, I took
advantage of the free buffet offer only once. Not bad, but nothing I
would actually pay $17.95 for. Instead of having a dessert station,
the server brings over a plate of assorted pastries at the end of
your meal.
Even though I could get there in less than 10 minutes by car, I
don't see myself wagering a dime in the casino. I'll travel an hour
or so for the better games in Atlantic City.
However, for a slot jockey living close by needing a quick fix,
it might work. It certainly seemed to work well enough for the
people I saw there as nearly every quarter machine had someone
playing it.

I agree. My wife and I went to check it out. The pay table's stink, and the place stinks from too much smoke. We'll keep coming to Atlantic City, even if Philadelphia Park is 5 minute's from our house.

Did you mean that 75% of all the casinos are going smoke free
meaning that 8 of the 12 casinos are totally smoke free or that the
casino is making 75% of its gaming area smoke free ??

As I understand it, the current position of the ordinance is to
allow each casino to have up to 25% of its casino floor in a
glass enclosed smoking room. At least 75% of each casino
must be smoke free.

There are some rumor's that at least one casino will go totally smoke-free, probably a Harrah's or trump property.
