Live! Casino Philadelphia opened in Feb. 2021. It’s been earning it’s “exclamation” point, especially since most COVID restrictions have been loosened and drink service is available on the gaming floor. Further adding to the action is the start of poker tournaments at Live! Casino Philadelphia.
When Pennsylvania casinos started to reopen in June 2020 after being closed for three months to slow the spread of COVID, poker rooms didn’t immediately reopen. PA poker players have been very patient waiting for poker rooms to reopen and daily tournaments to return. Now, Live! Casino Philadelphia is ready to up the ante for poker tournaments in Pennsylvania.
