Now that Harrah’s has opened the Chester Casino in
Pennsylvania, some are worried that the new slot machines and gaming
facility will pull patrons away from the Delaware Park casino nearby. There
is no doubt that Chester needed the slot machines as a way to bring more
income and traffic into the town. The slot machines mean jobs, tourists, and
most importantly revenue, but what about Delaware Park ask some?
The Delaware Park casino has a lot going for it as well, the casino boast
slot machines and electronic gaming, and the casino is already established.
Also, Delaware allows the casino to offer free drinks to patrons playing the
slot machines, and Delaware Park takes full advantage of this right.
Now Chester on the other hand does benefit from a brand new facility that
has more offered amenities for the slot machines players. These include:
restaurants, local hotels, pubs, shopping, and more. Though Chester Casino
does not offer electronic gaming, the facility has 200 more slot machines
than Delaware Park. Plus, because the facility is newer, Chester has newer
slot machines, and they boast a completely paper ticket system which they
feel may cause fewer hardware and logistical problems than coin machines.
In the long run though, some may choose to stick with Delaware Park for the
free drinks, and others may prefer the newer slot machines and restaurants,
but if the recent revenues from both locations are any indication, there are
enough patrons and revenue to share.
