Flew into Philly for the weekend to check out their casinos. Of the three in the area (Parx, Sugar House, Harrah's), I liked this one the best. It has a decent sized poker room on the 2nd level, which was enjoyable to play in. On the upper level, there are tons of slot machines (which I rarely play), table games, restaurants, and the buffet. One nice comp they had was if you played anything (except poker) for 30 minutes, you got a free buffet once per day. I am generally not a fan of buffets, but this one wasn't bad -- especially considering it was "free". I found a nickel "Jacks or Better" video poker machine (which had a horrible pay table of 6/5), but I played a nickel at a time for 30 minutes. At the end of the session, I was down 50 cents. So, that is what the buffet cost me. As for beverage service, you could order beverages right there on the slot machine electronically. If all you wanted was a soda, there were a few soda machines placed along the walls, which you could access for free. I had a great time here, and will gladly return. It was certainly better than driving all the way out to Atlantic City and back when you're only in town for an overnight trip. Read the full Casino Review
