I've been to Harrah's Chester about 5 times and have yet to win there. I've also been to Philadelphia Park about 6 times--have won there once.

These places are very tough to win at. My guess is that as a result of the high amount of taxes they have to pay to the state of Pennsylvania (55% of their revenues), they have made their machines tighter. Atlantic City pays much less in taxes to NJ (less than 10%, I believe).

When the large casinos open near Philadelphia (Sugarhouse and Foxwoods), we might find the Racinos making their machines looser. Unfortunately the large casinos are not scheduled to open until 2008.
