Parx Poker Live Updates
Pennsylvania casinosclosed in mid-March to slow the spread of coronavirus. They remained shuttered for over three months. When the casinos reopened, they did so with health and safety guidelines from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) that included key points such as:
WPT Parx Open Poker Classic. Completed event. Tournament Info; Live Updates; Chip Counts. Taiwan: Dec 27 2020: WPT Online Poker. Parx is held and operated by Greenwood Racing, Inc. It is the number one revenue generating casino based in Pennsylvania. Players can easily access the venue and choose from 3,270 slot machines, 124 table games, 48 poker tables, live racing & simulcast action and live entertainment content. The venue allows visitors to enjoy Liberty Bell.
- Employees and guests must wear masks.
- There are markings on the floor to promote social distancing.
- Enhanced cleaning is performed throughout the facility.
Another major stipulation upon reopening was that poker rooms could not operate due to players handling cards and chips. The plan at that time was to continually monitor and adjust according to guidance from the CDC and the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
Poker rooms in PA
Poker players have taken to Twitter, email and even picked up the phone to ask when live poker rooms in Pennsylvania will reopen.
PGCB Director of Communications Doug Harbach gave this update to Play Pennsylvania today:
“There has been no alteration to the casino reopening protocols released by the Gaming Control Board in May in which poker rooms were not authorized to operate. At the same time, this guideline can be reexamined based on health experts’ guidance. Should casinos wish to explore reopening a casino room, it would need to provide plans to do so safely which would be reviewed by the board on a case-by-case basis.”
A spokesperson for Rivers Philadelphia and Rivers Pittsburgh said that plans for reopening poker rooms are yet to be determined.
All PA casinos now open
Rivers Casino Pittsburgh and the Meadows were the first casinos to reopen on June 9. Social distancing decals marked the floors. To promote social distancing at slot machines, there were fewer chairs at the machines, or plexiglass barriers between slots. The casinos added hand sanitizing stations throughout their floors.
At the reopening of Rivers Pittsburgh, Harbach said poker rooms present a different type of challenge since people are sitting close together in a room.
“The casinos want to walk before they run and make sure they are getting the venue open and then move on to opening up other areas once they know the protocols are working well.”

The following images are from Harrah’s Philadelphia in July.
Poker a small part of revenue pie
All 12 of Pennsylvania’s casinos are operating at 50% capacity. Since July 8, there has been a temporary ban on smoking, eating and drinking on the gaming floor.
During the 2019-20 fiscal year, PA’s 10 poker rooms produced a combined $37 million in revenue. That number pales in comparison to the $583 million in revenue from other table games.
Parx is home to the largest live poker room in PA, with 48 tables. Harrah’s Philadelphia has 27 tables, and Wind Creek Casino has 26.
Casinos are, understandably, focusing on safety and the unprecedented challenges COVID-19 has brought. Perhaps that is taking priority above reopening poker rooms.

Poker rooms in other states
All live poker rooms in Atlantic City, New Jersey, also remain out of operation.
In Las Vegas, the MGM Grand poker room opened in early July with plexiglass dividers between players to allow six-handed play. Other Vegas rooms have followed and a few — the Orleans, Venetian and South Point — are also running small-guarantee tournaments with plexiglass dividers and/or mask requirements.
Here’s a look at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, which restarted poker on June 12.
The Poker Room opens today at Noon! Here are some things to expect:
•We will run at a limited capacity (25 of 45 tables)
•All active tables will have Plexiglass dividers
•All games will run at a maximum of 6 handed
•Team Members and Guests will be required to wear masks pic.twitter.com/NrHjgMFGdF

Online poker in PA
Online poker in PA arrived in November 2019. Since then, PokerStars has been the lone operator in the state; however, it looks like it will get some competition from partypoker in the fall.
Play Pennsylvania monitored poker traffic, which reached 3,616 seats filled on March 22. PokerStars PA had its best month for revenue with $5.3 million in April. Since that peak, poker revenue is back down to earth but still healthy, bringing in $3.0 million in July.
