The SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia opened its doors to the public back in September 2010 and has built a strong reputation for itself over the years, winning the award for the ‘best place to work’ at for five consecutive years.

The SugarHouse casino has decided to expand its poker offerings by launching a brand new poker room that will cover 6,000 square feet and have a total of 28 poker tables. The new room will be promoted as the first ever Poker Night in America (PNIA) room and will be inaugurated on March 23.
