Can anyone tell me what the BJ conditions and rules are at the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh? Also, how crowded on a Thursday or Saturday night.
Not good. They continue to convert ASM tables to CSM tables. I hope they are not planning 100% ASM tables for the whole casino.

The good thing is that as the more ASM tables appear, the more crowd disappear. Two months ago, you can't find a seat on Saturday night. Now there are plenty of seats open for business. You don't have to wait hours for a seat.

Monday and Tuesday are the least busiest nights.

I was there on a Friday night the day before a Pitt football game. Got a seat fairly quickly at a $10 ASM (not CSM) table. Got no heat spreading from 10-2x75. I played for a few hours and that was enough to get comped a space in the parking garage on game day which usually costs $25.

Saturday morning 3 hours before the game started, the place was packed. I didn't play then. After the game, there was a long line outside the casino. The line was as if the casino was giving away free money, I had never seen such a long line to enter a casino before.

:confused: Very confusing response. Are there more ASMs (good) or more CSMs (bad)?

Let me try again:

How many shoe games? # of decks? Penetration? Rules? Minimums?

How many 2-deck games? Penetration? Rules? Minimums?

I don't care about how many CSM games there are.

As now, there are more CSM tables than ASM, much more. All below $25 minimal tables in main pit have been converted to CSM.

Table minimal in the evening is $15 except one or two tables outside the main pit.

There are no 2 deck games. All tables are using 8 decks. Penetration depends, could be 6 or 6.5 decks out of 8. Rules are generous: S16, No RSA, Late Surrender, DAS, DO2.

If you play green chips, there are always tables with ASM. If you play red chips, there are 3 tables outside the main pit but they only open on weekend evenings. (At corners in the forest of slot machines, first time visitors may not find them.)

Update on Rivers. I am pleased to tell everybody who love Blackjack, this is the place to play. With open of i-Table and addition of one wing, the capacity is huge. I also notice there is no heat on red and green chip level. This is one good place for semi-pro.

I can second this.
