Harrah's Philly Details
The Harrah’s Philadelphia poker room is located just 10 minutes south Philadelphia International Airport. It is a multi-purpose entertainment complex that includes a luxury casino and racetrack. The poker offering is located on the 3rd floor in the old block space, and is attached to its new sports book and TopGolf experience. Given the proximity of the room to the site’s other gambling attractions, the familiar sounds of slot reels and jangling coins fill the air as you play. The Harrah’s Philadelphia poker room regularly spreads around 28 tables of action to a diverse gambling community. It also offers text to table food service through its new app for players.
Harrah's Philadelphia has a tournament schedule that routinely produces big daily fields, and periodically runs its Diamond Delight multi-flight event. To coin a phrase often used at the venue, it is “welcome to Harrah-dise” for Philadelphia-area tournament players. If looking for cash-game action, you will not be disappointed. No-limit hold’em aficionados are able to play between limits of $1-2 and $10-25 on a regular basis, while the limit gurus can hop in from $2-4 to $20-40. Seven-card stud, pot-limit Omaha and limit Omaha hi-lo are also available.
Harrah’s Philadelphia operates the Total Rewards loyalty card program that is enjoyed by regulars at all Caesars-owned venues in the United States. Earned comps can be banked for use at other Caesars properties, or exchanged right away for tableside food delivery, slot credits, and more. All drinks are complimentary to all players.

Are we missing something?
The live poker room at Harrah’s Philadelphia appears to be permanently closed.
According to various social media posts by current and former employees, they received word about the decision on August 11.
Harrah’s Philly poker room closed for good?
Various poker room employees at Harrah’s Philadelphia posted on social media about losing their poker-dealing jobs. On the condition of anonymity a now-former employee (“Jake”) discussed what’s happening at Harrah’s Philadelphia poker room with Play Pennsylvania.
He confirmed that it is closed with no plans to reopen the room. Management’s calls to poker room employees came via Zoom on August 11. Jake said that they did not offer anyone positions within the organization. However, Harrah’s did say if they had experience in tables games they could apply, just the same as anyone else coming in off the street, for openings.
Those who asked if any classes would be offered for table games did not get a clear “yes” or “no” answer.
Silent on social media
Harrah’s Philadelphia poker room’s Twitter handle no longer exists. Its Facebook page has not been updated since March 13.
Asked whether the poker room closure was permanent, a customer service representative at Harrah’s Philadelphia said:
“It’s closed as of now. We don’t have a date of reopening.”
World Series of Poker-branded room
Harrah’s opened a live poker room in 2010 on the floor below the main gaming floor near where race track betting takes place.
On April 26, 2019 after extensive renovations, Harrah’s Philadelphia became home to the World Series of Poker poker room. Harrah’s corporate parent company Caesars Entertainment owns the popular World Series of Poker brand.
Last fall, Harrah’s underwent a number of major renovations including the new sportsbook, The Book and a Topgolf Swing Suite.
General Manager Chris Albrechttold the Philadelphia Business Journal:
“The poker room was moved from racing level to casino floor to have all gaming action on one floor. It was part of the re-imagination of the back of the casino with new sportsbook and Topgolf.”
Parx has the largest live poker room in PA with 48 tables.
Harrah’s had 27 tables and a full slate of poker promotions and tournaments. On their website they boasted:
“WSOP Poker Room spreads Texas Hold’em, Seven Card Stud, and Omaha. With non-stop action and a range of blinds, even the most discriminating Philadelphia gambler will find a perfectly suited game for their taste. Limit games range from $2-4-6 to $20-40, while No Limit games range from $1-2 to $10-25.”

Poker rooms in PA still closed
In mid-March all twelve Pennsylvania casinos closed to slow the spread of coronavirus. Harrah’s Philadelphia reopened on June 26.
When the casinos home county moved to the “green phase” they could reopen at reduced capacity (up to 50%). The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board laid out updated health and safety protocols which included, to start, that poker rooms could not operate due to players handling cards and chips. They said they’d monitor and adjust according to guidance from the CDC and the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
PGCB Director of Communications Doug Harbachgave this update to Play Pennsylvania on Aug. 25:

“There has been no alteration to the casino reopening protocols released by the Gaming Control Board in May in which poker rooms were not authorized to operate. At the same time, this guideline can be reexamined based on health experts’ guidance. Should casinos wish to explore reopening a casino room, it would need to provide plans to do so safely which would be reviewed by the Board on a case-by-case basis.”
Online poker in PA
While live poker is off the menu for the time being (and perhaps permanently at some casinos, like Harrah’s), PA poker players still have legal, regulated as an option. PokerStars PA was the first online poker operator to launch in PA, doing so in November 2019. The lone operator has done well in Pennsylvania, peaking in April with revenue of nearly $5.3 million when all casinos were still shuttered.
And while live poker rooms remain closed, online poker revenue at PokerStars has come down to a reasonable yet healthy $3.0 million for July. But it looks as if PA will soon have more online poker options in partypoker(through BetMGM/ROAR Digital) and ironically, WSOP.com.

While no timeline has been announced for the launch of WSOP online in PA, we know regulatory approval is underway. That makes for rather unfortunate timing for Caesars’ live poker partner to fold, it would seem. But in 2020, anything is possible.
Note: This is a developing story. PlayPennsylvania will provide the latest updates on the Harrah’s poker room closing as they become available.
