    Me and my friend sat down at the Betrivers Sportsbookbar before going to dinner to celebrate two of our birthdays and the female bartender whose name was Gina made us feel very welcomed on our special day. The drinks that she made were very yummy! She had a very bright personality and by the time we left she knew everyone's name. It's nice to see someone smile behind the bar

    This review is for Rivers as a casino. Of course, but why did I write that? Well, one could review it for its showroom or for the various eateries here as well. Anyway, I haven't experienced their showroom, but I have experienced their poker room. The whole casino is non-smoking so that's nice for most of us. I have no complaints about the poker room operation, but I also only come here at non prime time to avoid much of a wait for a table opening. Even during the early weekday afternoons, there's sometimes a 15 minute wait for a table opening. I've heard the wait in the evenings and on the weekends can be 1-2 hours, and that's not for me. They now also have a remote game signup using a Bravo Live app and you can sign up 90 minutes in advance of checking in at the receptionist desk, and that's quite handy. The attached photo shows the poker games available at Rivers, but I personally only play 1-3 NLH poker ($1 small blind, $3 big blind, no limit Texas Hold'em). All of the dealers I've encountered are good, competent, and courteous pros. The room is well lit and comfortable (if not sometimes cool, so bring a light jacket or fleece if you're a borderline coldie like me) and it's a popular poker room with often 10 tables going. I believe there are 22 tables in total, but I'm not sure if they're staffed anymore to run them all at once. Cashing in or out is usually pretty quick. On the weekdays, they have hourly high hand promos worth about $500 (ie, the highest hand amongst all the tables in any one hour span is awarded $500). The casino is physically pretty close to me and that makes visiting quite easy, which is good for me, but if you're an addict it may not be so good. The garage parking capacity is always plentiful. Thumbs up from my experience!
