Parx Casino Poker Room Cash Games
With 48 cash game tables available, there is never any shortage of action in the Parx Poker Room.
Players will find plenty of low-to-mid-stakes games running around the clock. You should have no difficulty finding $1/$3 and $2/$5 no limit hold'em games or a table or two of $2/$2 PLO. Higher stakes no limit hold'em games like $10/$10 and $10/$25 run on demand.
You can also request mixed games starting at $2/$2 big bet or $4-$8 limit and climbing up to $100/$100 big bet or $300-$600 limit. These games only run if there are enough players. So, if you want to play high-stakes or mixed games (or both) it may be worth calling ahead to see what's running.
