The story

Parx Casino began as Philadelphia Park racetrack and evolved into Pennsylvania's largest casino destination under Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment. Over time it expanded into online gaming (betPARX) across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, and Maryland. On the payments side, the company moved from cash and physical card infrastructure to a full cashless gaming wallet (Parx Wallet) powered by Sightline Payments' Play+ prepaid product and backed by Sutton Bank. The embedded finance stack reflects the casino industry's broader shift toward digital wallets and virtual supplier payments.
