Rivers Casino Philadelphia (formerly Sugarhouse Casino) (Philadelphia, PA) - Page 68 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Question for regulars - It's been awhile since i've played and will be making a trip this week.

I see that you can bring a photo of your ID card instead of the card itself. Are you able to just take a picture on your phone and show it to them for that requirement?

Thanks!

Why do you have to go through a metal detector to enter the casino now, and why is there a sign at the entrance saying, "no guns allowed"? Did something happen recently?

Probably has something to do with the rising crime rate in Philadelphia.

Metal detectors because a dealer got car jacked. Not sure if it was a poker dealer or games dealer.

I’d assume $5+$2, but admittedly I don’t play here much anymore, so I’m not 100% on that

Last I played here was 2019 and indeed it was 5+2 for 1/2 and 2/5.

Thinking of making the trip for the $560 this week.

Any ideas on what the turnout will be like? I peeped at their last $360 event and it looked like it crushed.

Went yesterday for the first time. Fired a couple bullets in the tournament. Over all decent room. Very dark, that paired with my crappy eye sight and no glasses wasn't fun. Was immediately stuck on the alternate list, but it went quickly. I wish they had a few more tables for the tournament. Complementary redbulls. New restaurants from what I've heard (pizza place - Sicilian style, looked good)

The tables were kinda dirty, but it is what it is. I'd go back for an event.

Nah never been to live. I barely am ever in the Philly area. I'm assuming it's better?

Does anybody know how many runners it attracted to todays Flight 1A of 200K gtd tournament? Do they have enough tables to accommodate all the players? Or after some numbers of tables we have to be standby?

Is parking within the property?

Also as per website it says vaccination proof is required and face mask is mandatory! Is this still needed ?

Ample free parking available and those COVID requirements are outdated.

Played there the last few days, none of these are required.
