ET at the Shippensburg University Conference Center at 500 Newburg Rd. Those interested can learn more and apply for one of the many openings on Friday, November 4, from 7 a.m. Parx Shippensburg is holding several job fairs to fill over 50 gaming and non-gaming positions, including table game dealers, slot machine attendants, cocktail servers, bartenders, kitchen staff, waitstaff and bussers, security officers, player hosts, and players services representatives. Greenwood is staffing up in anticipation of the casino opening. A 100-seat sportsbook with standalone wagering kiosks featuring a restaurant and bar will also lure in guests.

When it does commence business, the 73,000-square-foot Parx Casino Shippensburg will offer patrons approximately 500 slot machines and 48 electronic table games. The Pennsylvania mini-casino is now expected to open in “early 2023.” A more specific timeline wasn’t provided. Greenwood said Wednesday that unforeseen construction delays because of supply chain disruptions have resulted in additional time being needed. Parx Casino Shippensburg planned to welcome its first guests later this month. Parx targeted Shippensburg Township, which didn’t opt out of being considered as a Category 4 host location, for its satellite development. The company secured a Category 4 satellite license by being the high bidder during the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s (PGCB) February 2018 auction round with a winning offer of $8.1 million.

Greenwood’s Parx Casino, just north of downtown Philadelphia in Bensalem, is today Pennsylvania’s richest casino in terms of annual gaming revenue. Category 2 properties aren’t limited to a maximum number of gaming positions. Pennsylvania initially limits satellite brick-and-mortar venues to a maximum of 750 slot machines and 30 table games. Parx, the casino brand owned and operated by Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment, a privately held company controlled by the Green family in Pennsylvania, is spending $65 million to transform a former Lowe’s home improvement store into a Category 4 casino.Ĭategory 4 casinos in Pennsylvania are satellite properties that are tethered to larger full-scale Category 2 licenses.
