The number of jobs at Pennsylvania casinos contracted by 3.8% in the commonwealth’s 2025-26 fiscal year. For the hundreds of workers who lost their jobs, one Philadelphia casino is holding a job fair later this month.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) recently published its 2025-2026 Annual Report . The 20th edition of the annual recap of the state gaming regulator’s activities and the gaming licensees it governs revealed that casino employment numbers dwindled during the 12 months.

The 18 land-based casinos collectively employed 15,252 people, as of June 30, 2026. That represented a 3.8% decline, or a decrease of 598 positions, from June 30, 2025.

Despite the state having one additional casino, as Happy Valley Casino opened in State College in April 2026, fewer people in Pennsylvania now call a casino their place of employment. Dealers were hardest hit, with the PGCB revealing that table game workers were responsible for 243 of the job cuts.

Though some Pennsylvania casinos have looked to trim overhead by scaling back employment, Rivers Casino Philadelphia says it has roles to fill.

On Monday, Oct. 19, from 5-7 pm, and Tuesday, Oct. 20, from 10 am until noon, Rivers Casino will conduct a job fair at its Events Center. Casino officials say on-the-spot job offers will be made for qualified applicants, but those with no experience are also encouraged to attend.

Rivers has a variety of food and beverage positions, including sous chefs, cooks, food runners, bartenders, waitstaff, greeters, and managers.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old. The casino says the positions come with health insurance, paid time off, free parking, tuition reimbursement, career advancement opportunities, and 401(k) benefits.
