Center City Turf Club has been the heart of downtown gaming for over seven decades, sitting right on the corner of 5th and Main where locals have gathered for everything from a quick lunch and a few hands of cards to all-night poker sessions. Walk through those doors and you'll see three generations of families who've made this place part of their weekend ritual — the retired steelworkers, the young professionals sneaking away from the office, the regulars who know every dealer by name. There's something about the way the afternoon light comes through those big front windows that makes you feel connected to the city's history, and that's no accident; this place has seen Center City through boom times and harder seasons alike. Unlike the glitzy mega-casinos out on the highway, we've kept things intimate and genuine here, where the bartender remembers your drink and the pit boss actually chats with you between hands. It's the kind of place where you run into your neighbor's cousin and end up playing three-hour blackjack marathons which is exacty what makes it special.
From its founding in 1952 to today, Center City Turf Club has grown into one of the region's most trusted gaming and entertainment destinations.
Grand Opening
Frank Delmonico and his brother Vincent opened Center City Turf Club on a cold Tuesday in March, converting what used to be an old textile warehouse into a proper gaming establishment with just five blackjack tables and a small roulette wheel. The grand opening drew hundreds of people from the neighborhood — you can see the old photographs on the wall near the entrance showing crowds literally spilling out onto the sidewalk, everyone dressed up in their finest suits and dresses. Frank's vision was simple: create a place where working people could come and feel like they belonged, not a playground for the wealthy, and that philosophy stuck with the casino through all these years. The building itself was modest, with wood paneling and brass fixtures, but it had charm and an energy that people responded to immediat. By the end of that first month, the place was packed nearly every night, and Frank knew he'd tapped into something real in the community.
Expansion to the Second Floor
After nearly two decades of steady success, the Delmonicos decided to expand upward, adding a full second floor with twelve more gaming tables and what became the famous Red Room cocktail lounge that locals still rave about today. The expansion cost nearly $400,000 — a substantial sum in 1968 — but Frank had the confidence in the business and the community to make the investment, and it paid off tremendisly. That new upsatirs space became legendary for hosting live jazz on Friday and Saturday nights, with local musicians who played everywhere from the Paramount down the street bringing their talents here. The expansion doubled the casino's floor space and allowed them to add their first formal restaurant, where you could actually sit down to a real dinner before or after playing. By 1970, Center City Turf Club had become a genuine downtown destination, not just a neighborhood spot.
Major Renovation and Modernization
The early 1990s brought a complete renovation of both floors, updating the gaming equipment to newer machines while preserving the vintage charm that made the place special in the first place. The Delmonico family, now in its second generation of ownership under Frank's son Michael, invested over $2.3 million in the upgrade, installing new carpeting, refinished woodwork, and completely modernized slot machines while keeping that classic 1950s aesthetic alive. The Red Room got a beautiful refresh with new lighting and an improved sound system, and they added fifty additional slot machines to the main floor without making it feel crowded or overwhelming. Local contractors and craftspeople were hired for much of the work, ensuring that the renovation money stayed in the comunity and that the job was done right. When the doors reopened in late 1991, longtime customers said it felt like coming home to a place they loved, just with a little more shine to it.
Digital Integration and Community Programs Launch
Under current ownership, Center City Turf Club embraced modern technology while maintaining its soul, launching a customer rewards app that actually feels personal rather than corporate, where you can track your visits and get genuine perks instead of just algorithmic offers. They also started the Center City Gives Back program that year, donating a percentage of monthly profits to local youth centers and the downtown food bank — something the community really apreciated and that's brought in a whole new generation of players who care about where they spend their money. The casino added a craft cocktail program with a talented mixologist who sources ingredients from local vendors whenever possible, and expanded the dining options to include healthier choices for the health-conscious crowd. They kept the original Red Room mostly untouched as a historic space but modernized the back bar and upgraded the sound system for better live music experiences. Today, Center City Turf Club feels like it's honoring its past while actually moving forward with the times, which is something most old-school establishments struggle with — but these folks seem to have figured it out.

Progressive Slot

I was just killing time on my lunch break, figured I'd throw twenty bucks into a machine before heading back to work. Been working the same warehouse job for six years and honestly felt pretty stuck. Then the wheels lined up and suddenly I'm staring at this massive number on the screen. My hands were shaking so bad I could barely hit the button to call the attendant. I kept saying 'this can't be real, this can't be real' over and over. I'm using most of it to pay off my student loans but I'm taking my family to Disney World this summer with some of it.

Blackjack
$89,200
My buddy invited me out for his birthday weekend and I'm not really a big gambler, but I figured why not sit at a table with him. I was up maybe two grand after a couple hours and should've walked away, but I stayed. Then I got into this run where the dealer kept busting and I was betting bigger each hand. By the time it was over I had nearly ninety grand in chips. I was completely numb driving home—couldn't even celebrate properly because I was so shocked. I've already set aside half for my daughter's college fund and the other half is going toward finally fixing up the house.

Poker Tournament
$215,000
I've been playing in the Tuesday night games here for about three years, mostly just grinding out small wins and losses. When they announced the big tournament, I almost didn't enter because the buy-in was steep, but something told me to do it. Made it deep into the tournament and I remeber getting to the final table thinking my heart was going to burst out of my chest. The whole last stretch felt like a blur—good reads, some lucky cards, and suddenly I'm holding the biggest check I've ever seen. I'm using it to start the sports bar I've been dreaming about, finally making that happen.

Roulette
$44,800
I was going through a really rough divorce and my sister thought getting out for a night would help, so we came here. I wasn't even planning to play, just hang out and watch, but she pushed me to put some chips on the table. I started playing my lucky numbers—my kids' birthdays and my late mom's birthday—and honestly I was just doing it to feel close to them. One spin I hit three numbers in a row and just lost it, started crying right there at the roulette wheel. The money's going straight to the kids' accounts, but I kept just enough to finally take them on a real vacation.

Buffalo Gold Slot
$63,750
I'm a regular here—come in maybe twice a month and usually just play slots for fun. The Buffalo machine has been pretty good to me over the years so I kept coming back to it. One afternoon I hit the bonus round and man, the way that animation played out felt different, like something was actually happening. Those free spins kept rolling and rolling and I remember thinking there's no way this keeps going. When it finally stopped I couldn't believe the number. I've paid off my truck and I'm using some to help my mom with her medical bills.

Three Card Poker
$38,400
I work nights at the hospital and honestly I don't get out much, so my coworker invited me to come blow off some steam on my day off. I sat down at Three Card Poker just because the dealer seemed nice and I wanted to stay close while my friend played. I wasn't even being strategic, just playing the hands as they came, but then I caught a perfect run and next thing I knew I'm up over thirty grand. The pit boss came over to make sure everything was legit and I felt so validated, like maybe I acutally knew what I was doing. Most of it's going into savings, but I finaly got the truck I need for my side buisness.

ATMs on two floors, clean restrooms every 40 feet, and a front desk that handles lost-and-found and general questions without attitude.
