April at Rivers Casino Philly: Comedian Carlos Mencia, Poker Bounty Series and New ‘Bar Bites’ Menu at Martorano’s Prime

PHILADELPHIA — April 2, 2024 — Laugh, play, eat and stay at Rivers Casino Philadelphia in April. And by “stay,” we mean overnight at Riversuites, of course, Fishtown’s newest boutique hotel, located next door to Penn Treaty Park. With baseball in full swing and the cherry blossoms in full bloom, it’s a great time for a getaway in Philly.

Carlos Mencia — April 20

Comedian Carlos Mencia has been selling out shows across the country, and he’s bringing his stand-up to Fishtown. His “No Hate No Fear” tour is coming to Rivers Casino on Saturday, April 20, at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and start at $29.

Shuffle Up and Deal for a Great Cause

Throughout April, during one-day tournaments, Rivers Philly’s poker players can donate 10 nonperishable canned goods or $10 to get 10,000 additional tournament chips — in every tournament, all month long.

The initiative is part of Rivers Gives, the casino’s long-running community outreach program. Food donations and proceeds benefit Lutheran Settlement House, a multiservice social aid agency that helps over 6,000 children, adults and families every year.

The no-limit Texas Hold ’em and pot-limit Omaha tournaments include the Rivers Bounty Series, which runs from Thursday, April 18, through Sunday, April 21:

• Event 1 (4/18): $200 NLH, double green chip bounty ($5,000 guaranteed)
• Event 2 (4/19): $250 NLH, black chip bounty ($8,000 guaranteed)
• Event 3 (4/20): $300 NLH, mystery bounty ($15,000 guaranteed/$2,500 top bounty)
• Event 4 (4/21): $560 PLO, double black chip bounty ($15,000 guaranteed)

‘Bar Bites’ Menu Debuts at Martorano’s Prime

Good news for the early crowd stopping for a cocktail after work or getting a jump on evening plans: Martorano’s Prime has launched a new “Bar Bites” menu. On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., finger-food favorites like the Sicilian Slice, Martorano’s Wings, Martorano’s Famous Meatball and more are offered at the bar. Pair them with expertly crafted cocktails or choose from our extensive selection of wines served by the glass.
