Parx Casino's Fixed Location and the Bingo Question

Parx Casino's fixed position is 16.0 straight-line miles from Philadelphia, a great-circle measurement that describes the shortest path over the earth's surface. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any route.

The question of whether Parx Casino has bingo is a current-offering question, not a geographic one. This article can tell you exactly where the venue sits, how far it lies from major reference cities as the crow flies, and which channel holds the authoritative answer on bingo and every other live amenity.

The venue's documented position

Parx Casino and Racing is located in Bensalem Township in Bucks County, northeast of the city of Philadelphia, in the state of Pennsylvania. Its documented coordinates place it at 40.1186 latitude and -74.953 longitude. The owner of record is Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, Inc.

The property opened its poker room on January 11, 2018, with the Xcite Center following on January 13, 2018. Facility figures published in reference sources describe 3,200 slot machines, a planned 300-room hotel, and a 30,000 square foot event center. These figures describe documented points in time and are revised as properties expand.

Straight-line distances from Parx Casino

The table below lists every reference point for which a great-circle distance is documented. Each figure is a straight-line measurement, not a road distance.

Why road distance always exceeds straight-line distance

A great-circle line ignores everything on the ground. It cuts across rivers, state lines, ridges, and property boundaries as though none of them existed. A vehicle cannot do that.

Road distance is longer because the road network follows usable corridors. Rivers require bridges at fixed crossing points. Developed areas force routes around them rather than through them. State and county boundaries affect which corridors were built and how they connect. The result is that a pair of points separated by a short straight-line figure can be connected by a much longer drive, while a pair with a large straight-line figure may have a relatively direct interstate corridor.

This article does not estimate or publish road mileage for any pair. The figure that matters for planning a trip is the one produced by a mapping tool using the reader's actual starting point on the day of travel.

Where Bensalem sits in the region

Bensalem Township lies in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, northeast of Philadelphia. The documented coordinates place the venue in the southeastern part of the state, close to the Delaware River corridor that separates Pennsylvania from New Jersey. The straight-line figures to Atlantic City and New York City reflect that position: both are under 65 straight-line miles away.

The venue is part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area's northeastern edge. Its position near a major population center means many of the documented reference points in the table are regional cities rather than distant ones, though the full table spans the continental United States and beyond.

How to answer the bingo question

Whether Parx Casino currently offers bingo is a live amenity question. Gaming floors change their offerings, add and remove games, and adjust their schedules. A published article cannot hold a current answer that stays true between the time it is written and the time a reader arrives.

The authoritative channel is the venue's own published information. The property's official site maintains a current list of games and amenities. Guest services at the venue can confirm whether bingo is offered, on what days, and in which space. A reader who needs certainty should check that channel close to the date of travel, because an offering that exists today may not exist next month.

What to confirm before you go

Several items change independently of the venue's fixed geography and should be confirmed through the property's own channels before traveling.

• Whether bingo is currently offered — confirm through the venue's official games and amenities page or guest services.
• Operating hours for any specific game or amenity — the venue's published hours page holds the current answer.
• Road distance and travel time from your starting point — use a mapping tool with your actual origin; this article publishes only straight-line figures.
• Facility figures — slot machine counts, room counts, and square footage are revised as properties expand and rebuild.
