Rivers Casino Begins Process for Offering Casino Table Games

A Rivers Casino official said on March 15th, 2010 that it has filed a petition with Pennsylvania officials for authorization to offer eighty-six casino table games.

The General Manager of the Rivers Casino, Todd Moyer, said that the casino games that they will offer will include a craps, poker roulette, blackjack, mini-baccarat, three-card poker, Texas Holdem Bonus, Pai Gow Poker and others.

Moyer said that the gaming facility's current gambling floor will be remodeled to accommodate the casino table games and an exclusive poker room will also be constructed for poker players.

Moyer said that they are very happy to officially start the process of offering casino table games to Rivers. He added that full complement of gambling options will soon be enjoyed on Pittsburgh's North Shore. Rivers Casino will employ an additional 309 full-time and 149 part-time casino employees if it receives the go signal for casino table games.

The casino will need 350 casino table games dealers. The Rivers Casino currently employs 1,061 individuals. The facility hosted a career fair on March 8th, 2010 and March 9th, 2010 and said that it received more than 1,800 applications over two days.

In January 2010, Governor Ed Rendell approved the legislation that will permit casino table games in Pennsylvania's casino facilities.
