November Gaming Guide: Plinko, Pai Gow and Plenty of Other Ways to Win
Fourth & Fortune Plinko Drawings – Get on Board With This Month’s Must-Play
In honor of everyone’s favorite day of the week, Rivers is upping the ante on Fridays in November with weekly Fourth & Fortune Plinko Drawings. On Nov. 7, 14 and 21, Rush Rewards members can play for a chance to drop the puck and win big cash prizes, including a top prize of $5,000.
Guests earn one entry for every five Tier Points earned from Saturday, Nov. 1, through Friday, Nov. 21, with 5X entries every Tuesday. On drawing days, swipe at any promotional kiosk starting at noon, then visit the Gift Giveaway Center for drawings at 2, 4, 6 and 8 p.m. Five eligible guests each round will be selected to play Plinko for prizes.
Pai Gow Poker Climbs Back Toward $1M
After recently topping $1 million, Rivers’ Pai Gow Poker jackpot gave some lucky players a taste of the big prize. Recent winning-hand payouts brought the total down slightly from the million-dollar mark, but it’s already rebounded to just over $974,000 and climbing back toward seven figures.
This isn’t the first time Rivers has witnessed Pai Gow history in the making. In January 2024, Rivers beat its own property record with a $1.39 million Pai Gow win. Will November bring our next local millionaire?
