Rivers Casino Pittsburgh has completed its refurbishment just in time for its 15^th anniversary. The renovations cost Rush Street Gaming, the property’s owner, some $6.6 million and are are line with the company’s desire to cement the Pennsylvanian casino resort as a leading destination for tourism and gaming.

The investment was primarily focused on improving the property’s event capabilities. As a result, much of the money was allocated toward an expansion of the resort’s ballrooms.

Rivers Casino Adds a New Ballroom and Meeting Rooms

The refreshment of Rivers Casino Pittsburgh included the creation of a new events room called the Bridges Ballroom. Spanning some 7,044 square feet, the new facility overlooks the Ohio River, providing guests with a pleasant and romantic atmosphere.

In addition, the Bridges Ballroom features both indoor and outdoor space, as well as a balcony over the river and a beautiful view of the riverfront, Mount Washington and, as the facility’s name suggests, the iconic Fort Pitt and West End bridges.

Bridges, according to the property, can also be temporarily separated into three smaller rentable spaces. These include the 1,844-square-foot West End Room, the 1,164-square-foot Fort Duquesne Room and the 4,036-square-foot Fort Pitt Room.

In addition to the Bridges Ballroom, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh has also added four new private meeting rooms. These include the 1,140-square-foot Clemente Room, the 472-square-foot Warhol Room, the 470-square-foot Carson Room and a 348-square-foot executive boardroom.

The new facilities can be rented separately, combined or as pre-function areas for events taking place in the Bridges Ballroom.

Rivers Casino Pittsburgh Continues to Improve Its Offering

Rivers Casino Pittsburgh noted that the location of the Bridges Ballroom is a strategic one, considering its proximity to The Event Center and Rivers Ballroom. The former of these two facilities opened in 2019, offering a vast 25,000-square-foot grand hall. Since its opening The Event Center has cemented itself as a favorite for expositions and ticketed shows in Western Pennsylvania.

The Rivers Ballroom, meanwhile, and was also refurbished. Opened in 2011, the facility boasts a 7,873-square-foot inaugural banquet space which has now been “refreshed and reappointed.” Now sporting all-new carpets and finishings, the Rivers Ballroom is ready to welcome guests.

The renovations started in the autumn of 2023 when the casino resort also added a full-service Starbucks Coffee next to its arrival elevators. At the end of 2023, the property also added a dedicated lounge for Rush Rewards Players Club members who achieve the highest-tier status.

Currently, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh is renowned for its supreme hospitality and unrivaled entertainment. The casino is known as one of the most popular gambling and entertainment destinations for Pennsylvania and only recently, paid out its biggest jackpot.

Back in August 2022, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh paid out a $1.2 million jackpot, a record for the venue. However, the long-standing record was finally broken last week after a lucky winner hit a mouth-watering $1.39 million jackpot while playing Fortune Pai Gow Poker.

But the winning streak did not stop there, with nearly a dozen jackpots dropping over the last week alone. A handful of visitors at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh who played Aristorcat’s Dollar Storm slot game hit five-digit jackpots, the casino announced Tuesday. All three wins from Dollar Storm happened on the same day, Saturday.

One lucky visitor scooped up a hefty $25,686.32 jackpot while playing the popular slot game. Moreover, another gambler also walked out with a jackpot by hitting the game’s $25,042.13 grand prize. Last but not least, as noted, again on Saturday, a third fortunate gambler hit the jackpot from Dollar Storm, taking home $25,088.62.

More Lucky Visitors Secure Jackpot Prizes

On the other hand, Saturday was the lucky day for another Rivers Casino Pittsburgh visitor. The gambler, whose name was not disclosed, hit a staggering $11,894.05 jackpot with a tiny $0.88 wager.

Before that, on Friday, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh released details regarding more five-digit jackpots that dropped recently.

A player at the venue secured a $10,000 Black and White Double Jackpot, while another took home a $12,759 grand prize from playing Piggy Pennies. The Dancing Drums Prosperity slot machine also paid out a big jackpot with one lucky visitor taking home the game’s grand prize, $14,636.26 last week.

Last but not least, a fortunate guest at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh secured a jackpot prize after playing the Jewel of the Dragon slot machine. The person was lucky enough to hit the game’s grand prize, securing a $15,152 payday.

Rivers Casino Pittsburgh, one of Pennsylvania’s most influential properties, has turned another person’s life around as it paid out another huge gaming table jackpot to a lucky customer. This was also the highest table game jackpot the casino has ever paid out, surpassing even the $1.2 million bad-beat jackpot recorded in August 2022.

The latest Rivers Casino Pittsburgh jackpot winner was playing Fortune Pai Gow Poker. The game uses a standard playing cards deck but also includes a single joker that can be used as a wild card, substituting for an ace or another card in a straight or flush.

The game sees the dealer deal seven cards to the player and to himself, after which each of them compiles a five-card high hand and a two-card low hand. Under the rules of the game, the high hand must exceed the low hand.

The Player Was Dealt a Seven-Card Straight Flush

The lucky jackpot winner was dealt a seven-card straight flush, containing 4 through 10 of clubs. This exceptional luck landed them a $1.39 million jackpot, which is by far the biggest jackpot Rivers Casino Pittsburgh has ever handed out.

The jackpot was further boosted by the two optional $5 side bets the player had placed. For reference, the two side bets contributed $25,000 and $3,000 to the final payout.

This is notably the first time the full Fortune Pai Gow Poker progressive jackpot has been scored at the casino ever since the vertical was added in April 2017. Prior to the current win, the biggest payout had stood at only $92,186 and was hit in August 2020.

Andre Barnabei, assistant general manager at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh, commented on the matter, describing the property as “the place to win.” Barnabei added that the jackpot has now been reset to $538,791 but noted that this is still a life-changing sum.

In the meantime, lucky Las Vegas visitors recently collected several jackpots. Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas once again paid out a huge jackpot, making another customer a millionaire. In addition, a Durango Casino and Resort visitor turned a $0.80 bet into a $10,000 payday. Similarly, an Aliante Casino Hotel Spa visitor was able to win $10,000 after placing a modest $1.80 wager.

Betway, on the other hand, recently gave one player extra reasons to celebrate as they hit a staggering $14.7 million jackpot on Christmas Day.

Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Seattle Seahawks are 8-7 in the 2023 NFL season. Neither team can win the division, but each still stands a chance of making the playoffs through the wild card.

The Seahawks are in a better situation because the competition is less fierce in the National Football Conference (NFC) than in the American Football Conference (AFC) where the Steelers compete. Still, if they lost on the last day of the year, their playoff dream may come to an end.

Pittsburgh Steelers Want to Keep On Winning

The Steelers are coming off a big win over their divisional rivals the Cincinnati Bengals, which brought them back in the playoff race. Their defense was amazing in that game, allowing just one touchdown.

That’s no surprise actually, because they’ve got the seventh-best defense in the league, which is conceding just 19.4 points per game on average.

They also did very well offensively against the Bengals, scoring 34 points. That’s kind of surprising given that their offensive team hasn’t been too impressive in 2023. In fact, their offense is the fifth worst in the NFL with just 17.1 PPG.

In fact, low scoring was the reason why they lost their first three games in December, which is what prompted coach Mike Tomlin to put third-string quarterback Mason Rudolph in the starting lineup. He did great, throwing for 290 yards and two TDs with no interceptions. Can he do the same again?

Seattle Seahawks are a Step Away from the Playoffs

The playoff probability of the Seattle Seahawks is 69% at the moment, but if they win, that number will go all the way up to 88%. Pete Carroll’s men know this, which is why they’re going to take Sunday’s game very seriously.

The good news for them is that they’ve been playing great football lately, winning their last two games. First, they defeated the mighty Philadelphia Eagles 20-17 at home, then, they beat the Tennessee Titans on the road with the same score.

What needs to worry them is that their roster just doesn’t look as great as the one of Pittsburgh. This goes especially for Seattle’s offensive team, which just doesn’t look capable of outsmarting T.J. Watt & Co. But can Seattle’s defense stop the opposition offense? The answer to that question holds the key to who’s going to win the December 31 game.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Seattle Seahawks Prediction

If you compare these two teams player-for-player, the Steelers have the advantage. The Seahawks probably have a better coach and coaching staff, and they’re playing at home on Sunday. Bookies think these things will help them beat the Steelers, but we’re not so sure about that.

We think the boys from Pittsburgh can win on December 31, and even if they don’t do it, they probably won’t lose by more than a field goal.

Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers +3.5

This is officially the worst New England Patriots season since 2000, which is when Bill Belichick was appointed the head coach. Twenty-three years ago, the Pats finished the season 5-11, while in 2023, they’re currently 2-10, meaning that things could get even worse.

They surely want to prevent that from happening, but for that, they need to start winning again. The bad news is that they’re taking on motivated Steelers in Week 13. The good news is that the Steelers are banged up ahead of the TNF game, so the Pats might stand a chance.
