If you’re feeling lucky this summer, one of the country’s top-ranked casinos is just a short drive from Philadelphia. Parx Casino in Bensalem has been named the No. 2 Luckiest Casino in America in Casinos.com’s 2026 national ranking.
It’s the only casino in Pennsylvania—and the only one in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware region—to make the list.
The ranking, which was highlighted by Forbes, analyzed more than 830,000 guest reviews from casinos across the country. It took into account guest-reported wins, jackpots, bonuses, and overall experiences.
The recognition comes at a fitting time. Millions of visitors are expected to travel the Philadelphia region this year for major events including FIFA World Cup matches and America’s 250th anniversary celebrations.

Indeed, the title isn’t just for show.
Over the past 12 months, Parx Casino awarded more than $296 million in jackpot payments. This includes more than 109,00 jackpots worth $1,200 or more. Those stats makes it one of the biggest winning destinations in the country.
The casino has also expanded its offerings.
Now open, the 160-room smoke-free Parxview Hotel, gives guests another reason to turn a quick visit into a weekend getaway.
As Carrie Nork Minelli, Director of Advertising & Public Relations said:
“We’ve always believed that the best measure of our success is the experience of our guests have when they visit Parx. To be recognized as one of America’s luckiest casinos is incredibly rewarding.”
