Free soft drinks is a plus! Smoking and designated non smoking areas. Really good food. Some fairly affordable buy ins on table games. I liked this place!

I give three stars because I don't like gambling, and I know that Rivers has one of the lowest returns in the country. However, the views of the city from the rotunda are beautiful (above the drum bar) and the river walk is enjoyable. The buffet was great, but I haven't had it in 5 years.

Machines are not allowing even minor wins for more playtime. I figure I'll lose but when I can lose my money in less time than it takes me to get there even playing minimum bet on penny machines it's not worth going.Too many casinos around competing for business and not enough wins even in small amounts, if I can play an hour or two even if I lose what I brought it's okay but when it's within 20 minutes I think I'll start buying lottery tickets instead

I’ve only been here for conferences and that has been fine. They have plenty of room upstairs, nice views of Pittsburgh (ok usually a lot of gray and clouds but, the river is right there and in the summer, the view is quite nice). My biggest problem is the cigarette smoke. I understand that allowing smoking is a business decision for the casino and that’s fine. I don’t come here to gamble and I don’t even mind walking through the smoke clouds to get upstairs to the conference area. The problem is that there are no barriers between the conference rooms and the buffet upstairs and the cigarettes downstairs. Due to airflow (or lack thereof), the stink is only really bad by the bathrooms upstairs. If you have a sensitive nose, however, it is discernible all over the upper floor, including the buffet area. I don’t know what you do at this point, the layout doesn’t allow for an easy fix but... damn. The designers should have thought of this. If the casino was 50 years old, I’d get it. But it isn’t.

They still haven't taken many ideas into consideration. Used to be able to spend more time for your money but not now. And if your signature they say You don't wait on line behind people that have the lower cards than you do. they don't take U 1st they take other People ahead of you. They make the policies and don't even Follow their own policies. I wish it was like it used to be when it first opened it was a lot nicer . And unless you spend thousands and thousands of dollars don't expect to hit on a drawing. Rivers you could make this so much of a nicer experience

Nice place, offer 5$ free play, or 10$ table. If you download app and show to player club you get an extra 5$. Very clean, and spacious. Lots of different slots to choose from. I did not play any table games but did notice it was 5-10$ a hand minimum. I did't have any luck really, but my friend had some. However they managed to take it back. It ended up to be a 170$ day for me.

I am only giving 3 stars because of how smoky it was in there. It. Was. Disgusting. My husband and I ate there, at Andrew's, and it was really good. We then went to the tables to play a few games and even though we had no idea what we were doing, we had a blast. Craps has to be the most difficult game I've ever played and it happened to be the vey first one we tried. We eventually ended up at roulette, which was just our place and skill level. It was a perfect game to sip drinks and lose all our money on. They could absolutely improve the place by banning smoking!!!

Rivers Casino Pittsburgh is for mostly senior citizens and young people. It has plenty of parking and restrooms were clean. The casino has 3,000 slot machines. Rivers Casino has five restaurants: Grand View Buffet, Ciao, West End Cafe, Andrew's Steak & Seafood, and Vietnamese Noodles. It also has four bars: Spiral Bar, Drum Bar, Levels, and Wheelhouse. In the fall of 2009, the casino opened a coat room, open till 6 pm Sunday through Thursday and until 2 am closing time on Fridays and Saturdays. The casino also has a nightclub and a 1,000 seat outdoor amphitheater. I went twice to Grand View Buffet and the food was awesome. Rivers Casino offers a rewards club, the Rush Rewards Players Club. It has various rewards based on play level. Some rewards include free slot play, free monthly gifts, and free/discounted food offers. My favorite is slot machines I used to spend a lot of time.

Same as always. Very nice. I find bar service to be up and down whenever I go here, as I like to sit at the bar while I play. It was pretty good on this visit. I actually didn't lose my shirt either, though giving a casino a poor rating because you didn't win is idiotic anyway. The casino exists to take your money. That's why they are there. Giving one star and saying "I'd give it zero if I could because I never win" is just silly.
