PRESS RELEASE

HARRISBURG, PA: The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (“Board”) today unanimously voted to renew the Category 1 horse track casino license of Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, operator of Parx Casino in Bucks County.

In making the decision, the Board determined that Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment had fulfilled the obligations under its previously approved casino operator’s license and therefore qualified to have its license renewed for an additional five-year period.

The decision to renew the license was based on a process utilized by the Board that enables both the operator and the public to provide information relevant to the renewal decision. A public input hearing was held in April 2025 in the casino’s host municipality, Bensalem Township, where personnel of Parx Casino submitted exhibits and presented testimony on various aspects of the facility’s operation since its last license renewal was granted.  The public was also permitted to provide testimony about the casino and its impact on the community.

In reaching its decision, the Board also received information from local government officials, community groups and the PA State Police, along with the Gaming Control Board’s Office of Enforcement Counsel, Bureau of Investigations and Enforcement, Office of Compulsive and Problem Gambling, and Bureau of Casino Compliance.

Additionally, a public hearing was held today in Harrisburg to permit Board members to further question Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment representatives about any remaining issues prior to voting on the renewal.

Since its opening in December 2006, Parx Casino has generated $10.2 billion in gross revenue from the play of retail slot machines and table games, sports wagering and iGaming, and has returned to the Commonwealth a total of $4.59 billion in tax revenue, assessments and fees. Parx Casino currently operates 2,981 slot machines, 155 table games, 12 hybrid table games and a sportsbook at its retail location while employing more than 2,300 persons.

A PowerPoint presentation provided at today’s meeting which includes more details on Parx Casino is available on the Board’s website, www.gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov. It can be found under the Board Meetings tab and calendar date April 29, 2026.
