Casinos in Pennsylvania, except for Rivers Casino Philadelphia, are currently open. Yes, there are updated safety measures and limited capacity, but there are still plenty of ways to win.
Even if you aren’t ready to return to brick-and-mortar establishments, it doesn’t mean you are shut out of the action. Pennsylvania is home to nine online casinos that offer many of the same slots and table games in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Rivers Casino Jackpot Winners Show more 45 photos 10,267 views. In the wee hours of this morning, poker players in a game of 1/3 No Limit Texas Hold’em won the largest bad beat jackpot in Pittsburgh history at Rivers Casino. Eight players at the table walked away with more than $480,574.85. Guests who win a taxable jackpot beginning at 7:51PM on October 28 - November 25 at 7:50PM will receive an entry into the Jackpot Drawing! - We will call 10 winners at each drawing. Guests will win their share of $5,000 in free slot play at each drawing!
Since casinos reopened in early June, there have been jackpot winners, hefty slot payouts and big bets cashed out.
The following is a sampling of some recent winners.
Although the winner wasn’t Pennyslvania-based, the bet was placed on an online sportsbook available in PA. And it was the biggest winner in recent memory.
An Illinois bettor won $1.1 million on various wagers placed over the weekend on BetRivers. The bettor, identified as Cashout King on Twitter, won big wagering on the Workday Charity Open this weekend. Three Collin Morikawa-specific bets reaped over $700,000.
After Round 1, Morikawa was +5000 to hold the lead. He held off Justin Thomas in a playoff for his first PGA Tour win this year.
Richard Schwartz, president of Rush Street Interactive, which operates BetRivers, commented:
“This is the biggest payout ever at the newly launched BetRivers.com in Illinois and in fact at all BetRivers.com sportsbooks, which are also live in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Colorado. Our BetRivers online sportsbooks have grown extremely fast by offering users a high-quality user experience and chances to win big. Well, winning big is exactly what just happened this weekend at BetRivers.com for this bettor who won over a million dollars!”
