Turning Back the Clock: Retro Fun, Classic Menu Favorites Return and Marshall Charloff’s ‘Purple xPeRIeNCE’ Prince Tribute Hits the Event Center

New season, new Rivers. This spring, we’re turning up the nostalgia with the official launch of Retro Rivers.

Beginning in March, Rivers Casino is celebrating the moments and memories that have shaped the property’s unique identity and energy over the years — all reimagined for today’s guests.

From menu throwbacks and vintage-inspired promotions to exciting entertainment and groovy giveaways, Retro Rivers brings old-school cool back in style on the North Shore in a big way.

Welcome to Retro Rivers: Inspired by the Past to Celebrate the Now

Then & Now Mustang Drawings

Rev your engines! This March, take a nostalgic ride with Rivers Casino’s Then & Now Mustang Drawings.

Every Saturday this month (March 7, 14, 21 and 28), Rush Rewards Club members can earn entries for a chance to snag $250 in Free Slot Play along with a special invite to the finale drawing on March 28 — where one lucky guest will drive off in a brand-new 2026 Ford Mustang, while another will score a classic Mustang.

Entries can be earned starting Sunday, March 1, up until the day of the finale drawing, March 28. Finalists who don’t win a Mustang can still score a variety of far-out prizes to keep the retro vibes rolling.

Service Industry Nights – Extended Happy Hours on Sundays

As part of our radical retro itinerary, SIN Nights will continue throughout March. Extended happy hours run from 9 to 11 p.m. across the casino floor with reduced pricing on draft beers and select spirits and wines.

From the Rivers Vault, Straight to Your Table: Old Menu Items Returning

February’s themed experience at Rivers Casino was pure paradise — guests enjoyed delicious island-inspired offerings all month long. This month, it’s time for a tasty trip down memory lane with our Retro Rivers throwback menu!

Guests can sip on classic cocktails like the gimlet and amaretto sour, available across the property, in addition to revisiting some of the most beloved former menu items in Rivers’ history. Favorites from Andrew’s Steak & Seafood and West End Café are now available, for a limited time, now available at current restaurants on property.

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 might leave our table a millionaire — which certainly wouldn’t be a first for Rivers.

In 2022, the casino set a world record with a $1.2 million win, and in January 2024, it broke its own record with a whopping $1.39 million jackpot. While the current pot hasn’t quite reached those heights yet, with the progressive climbing slowly but steadily — it might have the potential to make history once again.
