Rivers Casino Philadelphia, originally known as SugarHouse Casino, opened its doors in 2010 as the first casino in Philadelphia. Situated along the Delaware River in the Fishtown neighborhood, the casino was developed on the historic site of the former Jack Frost Sugar Refinery, which inspired its original name. In 2019, the casino underwent a rebranding to become Rivers Casino Philadelphia, aligning with other properties owned by Rush Street Gaming, such as Rivers Casino Pittsburgh, to create a cohesive brand identity. The casino offers a comprehensive gaming experience with over 1,755 slot machines, 105 table games, and a 28-table poker room. In 2019, it became the first casino in Pennsylvania to launch an online sports betting platform, marking a significant milestone in the state’s gaming industry. The BetRivers Sportsbook, a $5 million, 5,700-square-foot facility, provides a premier destination for sports betting enthusiasts. Beyond gaming, Rivers Casino Philadelphia is committed to community engagement, supporting local organizations and contributing to the revitalization of the Delaware River waterfront. Its strategic location, diverse offerings, and dedication to innovation have solidified its position as a leading entertainment destination in the region.
