BetRivers Sportsbook prepares for UFC 329
The BetRivers Sportsbook at Rivers Casino Philadelphia will show UFC 329 on Saturday, July 11, headlined by a rematch between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway.
The event marks McGregor’s return to the Octagon following an extended absence after his 2021 leg injury. Early preliminary bouts begin at 4 p.m. ET from Las Vegas during the UFC’s annual International Fight Week.
The sportsbook features 33 betting kiosks operating around the clock, giving guests access to wagering across major sports throughout the week.
Six-figure progressive jackpots continue rising
Several progressive jackpots at Rivers Casino have grown substantially heading into July.
The Royal 9 Baccarat progressive jackpot has surpassed $625,000 and continues to increase daily. Players become eligible by placing a bonus wager tied to a King-Nine hand combination. The jackpot last paid out more than $225,000.
A separate multi-link progressive shared across Ultimate Texas Hold ’em, Mississippi Stud and Three Card Poker has climbed past $560,000. The jackpot last hit in May for more than $55,000.
Meanwhile, the recently launched High Card Flush Progressive has already topped $255,000.
Rivers Poker Room expands summer tournament schedule
The Rivers Poker Room is dedicating more than $250,000 to cash game promotions throughout July.
Among the highlights is a charity no-limit hold ’em tournament hosted by BetRivers Poker Ambassador Anthony “Hoagie” Cicali on July 25. Proceeds from the poker event will benefit the National Brain Tumor Society.
The high-hand winner will receive tickets to a Philadelphia professional football game in September, including field access and admission to the BetRivers Lounge.
Beyond the charity tournament, the poker room continues to host weekly events with varying buy-ins, formats and starting stacks. Daily high-hand payouts reach as much as $1,000 on Fridays and Saturdays.
July promotions deliver cash drawings and bonus rewards
Rivers Casino is offering Rush Rewards members several promotional opportunities throughout July.
Beginning July 10 and continuing through Aug. 29, members can also participate in the $100,000 Beat the Heat drawings. Drawings will take place every 30 minutes on Fridays and Saturdays from 5 to 8 p.m., with winners receiving electronic game board plays to determine prize amounts.
Additional late-night and high-limit drawings throughout the month will award free slot play and direct bet prizes.
The casino also continues to offer $10 blackjack 24 hours a day and $20 baccarat around the clock. Select table games, including roulette, Ultimate Texas Hold ’em and Three Card Poker, feature $5 minimums during early-morning and late-night hours.
“The Price Is Right” casting call comes to Philadelphia
CBS Philadelphia and Rivers Casino are teaming up to bring “The Price Is Right” to the city. The open casting call will take place in The Event Center on Wednesday, July 22, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Guests may begin lining up at 10 a.m.
Hopeful contestants will have about one minute to make an impression on producers. Two semifinalists from the Philadelphia audition will win trips to Los Angeles, where one contestant will receive a guaranteed chance to appear on the long-running game show.
Local casting calls have become an increasingly popular way for CBS affiliates to identify talent outside the traditional studio audience process in Los Angeles. For many Philadelphia-area residents, the July 22 event could represent a rare opportunity to step onto one of television’s most recognizable stages.
Rivers Casino expands July live entertainment lineup
Rivers Casino has booked a diverse lineup of performers for The Event Center this summer.
Vietnamese music fans can attend the free concert “Dạ Khúc cho Tình Nhân” on Saturday, July 18, featuring vocalist Lệ Quyên alongside Hồ Hoàng Yến, Lưu Việt Hùng, Phạm Sĩ Phú and The Headline Band.
D.L. Hughley will perform a one-night-only comedy show Thursday, July 23, with tickets starting at $39.
The following evening, 1964 The Tribute will bring its acclaimed Beatles concert recreation to Philadelphia. Tickets start at $19.
Looking ahead to August, comedian and radio host Rickey Smiley is scheduled to perform Aug. 20, while “Invincible: A Glorious Tribute to Michael Jackson” arrives Aug. 29.
