Rivers Casino Online Blackjack

Rivers Casino offers the very best in casinos, hotels, restaurants, concerts, and entertainment. Visit us in Des Plaines, IL, Philadelphia, PA, Pittsburgh, PA. Checked out The Rivers Casino Saturday night from 11:00PM - 1:00 AM. Majority of tables are CSM, sprinkled with some 8D shoes. $50.00 minimum tables were NMSE. Seats availabe at $25.00 minimum tables. Most $15 tables were full with an occasional seat available. Was thinning out at 1:00 AM.

BetRivers Casino promotions

There are not many, if any promotions outside of the deposit match promo.

Sometimes BetRivers offers a random promo, but for the most part, what you see is what you get.

It is kind of strange, as most online casinos (and sportsbooks for that matter) take pride in their promotions. However, the longtime associate of BetRivers, SugarHouse, which shares the parent company, iRush, also lacks in this department. Therefore, it could just be something the company does not find worth its time and effort.

However, the iRush Rewards program is extensive.

BetRivers Casino player rewards program

BetRivers uses the iRush Rewards scheme to award loyal customers.

With 10 tiers, this system has a lot to offer players if they are willing to put in the time (and money).

Here are some of the benefits if you climb the rewards program ladder:

  • Access to the bonus store.
  • A free Apple or Android playing device.
  • Custom deposit limit assistance.
  • Exclusive BetRivers swag.
  • Expedited withdraws.
  • Lifetime custom VIP avatar.
  • Luxury VIP gifts.

With these offerings, iRush and BetRivers seem to be interested in taking care of their patrons.

Rewards options at BetRivers Casino

The VIP Players Rewards Program is not the only reward system in place at BetRivers Casino.

Here are some of the most exciting opportunities:

  • Bonus Bank: The Bonus Bank strives to be easy to understand, flexible and a fair way to claim your bonus money. This system helps players bank their rewards to use later, so they don’t feel pressured to use them or lose them. This system is nice for two reasons. The first is because it lets players use the bonus money on their timetable, not the casino’s. The second is that this flexibility offers players the ability to save up their rewards.
  • Bonus Store: The Bonus Store adds to the fun of receiving rewards because it is a place where players decide what they want. For instance, players can “buy” wheels with accumulated rewards that offer guaranteed cash prizes. There are many other items for sale, too.

Introduction

Blazing 7's™ is a blackjack side bet that pays based on the number of sevens in the player's first three cards. Pays start with just one seven in the first two cards and go up to a progressive jackpot for three suited sevens or three sevens in diamonds, depending on the version.

Note: Blazing 7's is trademarked by Bally Gaming.

Rules

I have heard of two versions of this side bet, as follows:

  • Version 1: Wins are based on the first three player cards. Wins for one or two sevens are based on the first two cards only. If the player hits, the first additional card shall count as the third card. If the player splits, then the first card dealt to the first hand shall count as the third card. If the dealer has a blackjack, then the player is capped at two cards.
  • Version 2: Wins are based on the first two player cards and the dealer up card. Wins for one or two sevens are based on the player cards only.

To make matters more complicated, not only are there two versions but two pay tables as well, as follow.

Pay Table 1

  • Three suited sevens: 100% of jackpot.
  • Three colored sevens: 10% of jackpot.
  • Three sevens 200 for 1.
  • Two sevens 25 for 1.
  • One seven 2 for 1.

Pay Table 2

  • Three sevens in diamonds: 100% of jackpot.
  • Three suited sevens: 10% of jackpot.
  • Three colored sevens: 500 for 1.
  • Three sevens 200 for 1.
  • Two sevens 25 for 1.
  • One seven 2 for 1.

Analysis

Between the two versions and two pay tables, there are four possible combinations. For my analysis of all four combinations, six decks of cards is assumed. All wins are on a 'for one' basis, meaning the player does not get his original bet back on a win. I have heard of bet amounts of $1 and $5. For statistics where the bet amount matters, I will present them for both a $1 and $5 bet.
