People are happy sportsbetting is finally here. “All the feedback we’ve gotten at South Philadelphia, Parx, and Oaks has been quite positive. “We have a lot more options for players to bet on instead of just racing,” commented Cullen. There is still a similar ambiance and a strong simulcast-racing crowd. Patrons of the Sportsbook, especially during any of the Triple Crown races, are familiar with the hunt club atmosphere. Food service includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. The 26,000 square foot facility has a full dining room with seating for over one hundred guests, a delicatessen and a full bar and lounge. Patrons can bet the spread, moneyline, total, props, parlays and teasers at any of the six tellers and fourteen kiosks. It features over 100 new televisions to so no one misses a second of the action. The Oaks Race & Sportsbook, formerly the Valley Forge Turf Club, was rebranded and upgraded with a $1 million renovation to refurbish the property and add new amenities. Greenwood Racing, parent company of Parx Casino, officially launched sports betting at the Oaks Race & Sportsbook (600 Cresson Avenue, Oaks Corporate Center) in March 2019 with sports betting technical partner Kambi.

The beauty of it now is they can do it in Montgomery County,” said Matthew Cullen, Senior VP of Interactive Gaming and Sports for Parx Casino. “People were already doing this activity with bookies or driving to New Jersey or flying to Las Vegas. Some of the sports available for wagering include football (NFL & college) basketball (NBA & college), baseball (MLB), hockey (NHL), boxing, MMA, golf, tennis, and more. Two locations, the Oaks Race & Sportsbook and Valley Forge Casino Resort, are now taking sports betting action.

With the recent legalization of sports betting in Pennsylvania and the opening of two sportsbooks the stakes for excitement have been raised. Shopping, restaurants, arts, and golf courses make a good time in Montgomery County a sure bet.
