Having returned to Pittsburgh after living in Florida for 10 years, I was excited to hear that Pgh was opening a casino. One of my favorite things to do was run to Tampa (nearly 1 hour away) with 20 bucks and waste some time playing the slots. Throughout the course of a year's time, I came out ahead $1,000+ from the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, great times.



But don't think you can have fun at the Rivers with $20.....



After visiting the Rivers casino, I have spent well over $500 in only 3 visits and nothing...well, that's not true, the first trip there I spent $100 and won $200 (so basically $100) but since then nothing. I've tried the .01, .05, .25 and $1.00 machines and even when I did when, I wasn't winning the amount back that I put into the bet.



As for their Customer Service, I have not had one person say even one word to me yet, not the valet, not the Players Club personnel...and don't even get me started on the staff walking around taking drink orders. I made direct eye contact with one of the girls and held up a $50, she walked over, asked 2 people around me if they wanted a drink, then walked away??!!?? WTF



My advice is this...if you are looking to waste an afternoon or evening and basically throw your money away, then pay a visit to the Rivers Casino, otherwise, call me and give me $100? and pick a number between 1 and 100, your odds of winning are about the same :)



Big mistake with this place, I'll take the drive elsewhere, it will be worth it.

Save your money!!! Worst slots ever in last ten years of going to casinos. Went 10 times since it opened and never won a dollar. Takes your money in ten minutes or less. One time I put $20 in a quarter machine and the 1st 40 spins I hit nothing and then cashed out.

The food is expensive, especialy the fast food place with fried everything at high prices. Eat before you get here. Oh, a draft beer is $5.00 at the spiral bar. Total rip-off casino.

Go to the Meadows where you can put $20 in a slot machine and sit there for over an hour and have fun. Restaurant is nicer with better prices. Last time we had lunch for free and played slots for six hours and brought home money.

They will be out of business in six months. I gave it a try and I am going back to the Meadows where they will appreciate a customer.

? These are the tighest slots I have ever seen, been there 5 times, usually down $500 in less than a hour! Never left up money. Its not worth the 10 minute trip, I'd rather drive the 40 minutes to the Meadows or over a hour to WV. And even the electronic table games are bad, most 3 card poker tables and machines pay 40 to 1 for a straight flush, and 30 to one for 3 of a kind, not here, its 35 to 1 and 25 to 1. And dont have any change on your ticket, you put it in the machine to cash out, and get back only bills and another ticket with the cents on it!

Machines are so tight I've been there about 10 times now all I did was donate my money didn't win anything!! I go to the Meadows all the time. I'm going to continue going to the meadows . Rivers is a joke save, your money it all sucks! I will never go back

I've seen alot of mixed reviews about the Rivers Casino. Well let me tell you, I had a blast! I spent a lot of time playing the penny and nickel machines and didn't lose much money for the amount of time I got to play.

I was also surprised by the willingness of employees to help me. A young gentleman walked me to the buffet when I asked him where it was, rather than standing and pointing. I have no real complaints and I can't wait until they implement table games.
