Hot Plates and High Stakes at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh This July: Rising Pai Gow Jackpot, Exclusive Dining Deals and More

July at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh is already jumping, with jackpots, live entertainment and the juiciest meal deals on the North Shore.

The Fortune Pai Gow Poker Progressive jackpot has climbed past $1 million — one hand could make a lucky player’s day and even set the stage for another record-breaking moment at Rivers.

Martorano’s Prime is serving up a tempting new offer on Wednesdays and Thursdays including a three-course dinner for two.

And on Friday, July 25, legendary alt-rock band +LIVE+ will take the stage with a hit-filled performance.

From exclusive dining offers to million-dollar thrills, there’s plenty to look forward to this month.

Pai Gow Poker Jackpot Passes $1M Mark

With Rivers Casino’s Pai Gow Poker Progressive jackpot on the rise once again and just over $1 million, every hand played livens the pot, and one lucky guest will eventually leave our table a millionaire.

This isn’t the first time Rivers has seen such Pai Gow history in the making. In 2022, the casino set a world record when a $1.2 million jackpot was hit. Then in January 2024, Rivers beat its own record with a $1.39 million win — again breaking what was the world record at the time.

Learn-to-Play Blackjack After +LIVE+ — Friday, July 25

Following the popular alt-rock band’s show on Friday, July 25, the party doesn’t have to end when the encore fades. Guests are invited to come downstairs and try their hand at blackjack during a special learn-to-play session from 8:30 to 10 p.m.

With proof of your +LIVE+ concert ticket, guests can join a dealer-led lesson with $5 minimum bets and get a feel for one of the most popular table games on the floor. It’s a fun, low-pressure way to learn the ropes, meet new players and even sign up for a Rush Rewards card to keep the action going all summer long.

Dinner for Two at Martorano’s Prime, Just $98 — Wednesdays and Thursdays

Make your evenings at Martorano’s even more memorable on Wednesdays and Thursdays in July, when parties of two can enjoy a one-time two-for-$98 offer including a selection of premium menu items — perfect for date night or any duo hoping to share and save on a three-course dinner overlooking the majestic Ohio River.

An OpenTable Diners’ Choice Award recipient, Martorano’s Prime’s limited-time two-for-$98 deal offers a taste of the venue’s specialty: gourmet dishes that fuse Italian and American influences. The prix-fixe dinner will feature signature appetizers like the eggplant stack and “Fried Calamari Bibzy,” as well as guest-favorite entrées, including the chicken cutlet marsala and penne cognac.

For more information on Martorano’s two-for-$98 offer, including the full menu, please visit RiversCasino.com/Pittsburgh.
