$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Philly Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley announced an easing of restrictions on events in the city. The Flyers hosted 3,023 fans for their game against the Washington Capitals on Sunday. Live! Casino reports a lot of activity before and after the game. The turnstiles will advance roughly the same number of times when the Flyers play the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night and the Sixers will follow suit on the Sunday when they host the San Antonio Spurs.
Live! casino opened to the general public on Feb. 11, one week ahead of schedule. In 13 days of operation in January, it won $2.3 million on slot machines and $1.4 million from table games. It collected $311.1 million in total gaming revenue in the state that month. The casino keeps a count of customers every hour of every day. The feedback from customers is positive. Maesano says they built the casino that Philly deserves.
April should bring a different vibe to Live! casino. Citizens Bank Park will host about 8,800 fans for Phillies games. The casino operator would prefer to be open as if everything was normal. COVID-19 is testing the casino's systems and processes. It's beneficial to have a trial and error before massive crowds descend. The Live!'s casino is situated in a perfect location. They would like to see the energy change when the situation gets back to normal when life and sports return to the old "normal".
