Parx Casino Shippensburg opened on 3 February 2023 as the satellite of Parx in Bensalem, Pennsylvania's largest casino. It rates 3.9 from around 880 Google reviewers.
That review count is low relative to how much the property is searched for, and the reason is simply age. Three and a half years is not long enough to accumulate the review base a comparable floor would have. The demand is real; the ratings sample just has not caught up.
What's on the floor — and the thing to know before you drive
73,000 square feet, roughly 500 slot machines, and 48 electronic table games.
That second number carries a catch worth understanding before you make the trip. Electronic table games are exactly that — blackjack, roulette and the rest played on terminals rather than against a live dealer at a felt table. There is no live table pit here. If you want a dealer, a physical shoe and other players at the table, the parent property in Bensalem has it and this one does not.
For a lot of players that is fine, and electronic tables have real advantages: lower minimums, no wait for a seat, and no pressure from the rest of the table when you are learning a game. But it is the single most common source of disappointment in reviews of this property, and it is entirely avoidable if you know in advance.
This is a Category 4 satellite licence, a class Pennsylvania created to let existing operators open smaller floors in underserved parts of the state. The cap on the licence is why the property is the size it is.
Sports betting and dining
There are sports betting kiosks on site, and the Parx Sportsbook app covers the rest.
Dining is a sports bar restaurant plus quick-bite options. That is the whole food operation — this is a gaming floor with a kitchen, not a destination.
Tips before you go
You must be 21 to gamble, the minimum age at every Pennsylvania casino.
The property is not open 24 hours. It runs 10am to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 10am to 2am on Friday and Saturday. Plan a late arrival accordingly — a midnight close on a Tuesday catches people out.
Shippensburg sits in the Cumberland Valley off I-81, roughly forty minutes south-west of Harrisburg, which makes this the practical floor for south-central Pennsylvania.
Nearby alternatives
The parent property, Parx Casino at Bensalem, is the largest in the state and has the live pit this one lacks. Closer to Harrisburg, Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course pairs a full floor with thoroughbred racing, and Hollywood Casino York is the other satellite in the region.
