Not worth it

by thorn636

After visiting Philadelphia Park Casino-Racetrack me and my friend decided to visit the Harrah's Chester and what a waste of time it was.

Tthis casino is right next to a prison, yes a prison which is very odd to start. The casino is also located right in the middle of Chester which makes Atlantic City actually look nice in comparison.

Once you get into the casino you will get carded for ID and have to wear a band around your wrist if you look underage.

Now the worst part about this place is they have no free-complimentary drinks on the casino, you have to actually pay up to $7 a drink (Rum Runner-BlackRussian etc..) How do they expect to bring a younger crowd in here or in general someone that likes to have a few drinks on the house.

The casino is nice inside but this casino is way behind any Atlantic City casino and IMO I won't even waste my time ever going back just the fact they won't even serve a drink that I can tip a few dollars on.

• Pros: Free Parking
• Cons: Drinks cost money, poor customer service and location

You have to know when to hold'em

Harrahs Chester is the same as Harrahs New Orleans - from a win/loose point of view... I have seen hot nights & fridgid nights too... Don't play if their not paying! Keep your cash for the nights when the machines are turned on...

get ready to have no fun...but go to the stir and have a martini

by sweetbrownshuger

i actually live in chester, and everyone was extra excited, down right hyped for our very own bite of vegas. and boy, oh boy, was it a let down. i NEVER hear anyone win anymore. family members who work there(because they wanted city folk to work there, which brings business to the community..which is amazing) ...have literally told me "the machines are rigged to have constant losses. and they know it"-my aunt husband, who services the machines for about 2 years. i only go there if friends wanna have some silly fun..and lose money.

but, frankly, i don't see myself walking down the road to the casino. i was excited, but when i read at the harrahs chester website, they don't give information on the turnout rate from winners, and they had a complaint about a man who won a million dollar, and they wouldn't pay him for "tax" related reason, i just stopped going. overall, i think its okay if you wanna "b.s" worth a couple of people. but if you're ready to gamble...you better book that bus trip to A.C. or that flight to Las Vegas!!!!

• Pros: free parking the best martini i ever had @ 'the stir'
• Cons: its depressing to be in this place....and no games to choose from
