Pennsylvania’s Electronic-Table Only Casino Announces New Game-Tables with Live Dealers

Soon, Parx Casino Shippensburg will no longer be the only Pennsylvania casino operating without live table dealers. With the conclusion of regulatory tests, the casino has announced that it is ready to launch live dealer-run tables.

This follows a sluggish 2025 for table game profits, with Parx Shippensburg recording the lowest performance statewide. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board oversaw the recent testing earlier this week.

On January 30, before the live table dealers are fully approved, the casino will conduct a soft launch. February 6 has been set as the grand launch date for the dealer-run tables.

With their implementation, Parx Shippensburg will finally have a chance to compete with the other casinos in the state. The casino is adding 12 traditional tables where they can play Blackjack, Roulette, Ultimate Texas Hold ’em, and Three Card Poker.

The Way Parx Has Run Business Until Now

The only table games that the casino has had since its opening are electronic. Through the use of terminals, players have been able to make bets on games with real cards and on roulette wheels.

Of all the casinos in Pennsylvania, the operating model of Parx Shippensburg sticks out as data from 2025 shows they are dead last in terms of revenue made from table games.

In 2024, the casino generated $873,904 in table-game revenue, which is 32.21% more than what they made in 2025 when they only generated $592,417 in revenue.

Comparison between the Pennsylvanian Casinos with the Lowest Revenue in 2025

The Casino located in Nemacolin placed right after Parx Shippensburg in terms of table-games revenue generated in 2025, having hit close to $2.7 million and showing a yearly growth rate of 10.85%. Notably ahead of Parx’s property and its table games results.

In 2025, Nemacoli’s The Casino, which only has approximately 26 traditional tables, managed to generate four times the revenue of Parx Shippensburg, with its 48 all-electronic tables.

Both casinos have about the same number of slot machines, and it is where Shippensburg’s casino managed to outstrip The Casino, raking in $38.3 million in slot revenue, about 1.5 times more than Nemacolin’s $25.5 million.
