I have to disagree with all of you this is the best casino!!!! I absolutely love it!!! I give them a 10 in my book I've won way more then I lost!!!!!!!So props too the rivers;)

I gave my money to Las Vegas & to Atlantic City since 1978. I think it was stupid to build the Casino so close to the Sport Stadiums, but this is PA and gamblers should be happy to be able to gamble let alone park. I'm from Central Pa & we are not
allowed to have a Casino cause the local law makers think it corrupts the locals. So for nearly 33 years, I and many others got to
support Nevada, New Jersey & West Virginia. I have enjoyed the times at Rivers Casino and have found the Player Club to be generous, the slots paying out & the table games a little slow but fun. Pa drink policies & regulations suck!! Love the Rueben at this place! Prices are reasonable, especially when the food was free with comps. I still will take trips to Vegas & AC, but have given up the West Virginia trips....I like the River Casino better. I like a casino with a hotel attached & free drinks!! I'll visit on occasion, but save my real fun for AC or Las Vegas.

Terrible, terrible casino. Save your money and go somewhere else. You will not regret that, but you will regret going to the Rivers.

The only neutral thing I can say is about the employees at West End. It is normally very busy, but they try to keep their composure. They're pretty nice, but I've seen their managers SCREAMING at them over nothing. In front of guests! Unbelievable.

I have to admit, for a non-Vegas Casino, I liked the Rivers Casino. As our continued goal to hit every PA casino, my father and I spent a weekend visiting Rivers. Although I'm a Browns fan, I couldn't help but appreciate the fact that the casino is right behind Heinz Field (I hate the Steelers).
While it wasn't my father's cup of tea, I loved the atmosphere. Maybe because of the obvious college students that were there drinking and partying. However, even before it got dark and the college kids arrived, I still enjoyed the atmosphere. It just seemed more lively and upbeat than the other PA casinos I've been to.
My father played the slots and I played the tables. Unfortunately for him, I had the better weekend. He did not fair well on the slots at all, but, it did appear that other folks were having better luck. I, on the other hand, did pretty well at Blackjack and Mini-Baccarat. Kudos to Rivers for having Baccarat with a $10 minimum (which seems to be unusual in PA, WV, and IN). My only complaint is that it was difficult to find a BlackJack table without a continuous shoe (although I did find one). The dealers were all nice and friendly. The cocktail waitress made here way around frequently (amazing what tips will do).
Again, keeping in mind that this is not Vegas, the buffet was pretty good. The other food selection was ok. Since I'm not a big slot player, the Players Club Card did me no good. You just don't accumulate enough from the tables (although I spent a lot of hours and increased my bets continuously).
At this point, the Rivers is probably my favorite casino within PA, WV, and IN. Not to mention it's just a 2hr drive from my home in Ohio. Based on my father's experience, I can't say the slots are loose. However, the table games were good to me.

Craps - OK
Blackjack - too many decks and continuous shoes
Slots - fairly loose
Buffet - average at best
Wheelhouse Restaurant - above average (try the pastrami sandwich and cobb salad)
