Poker is Back at the Rivers Casino Philadelphia
As announced on the casino's official Twitter account, the Rivers Casino Philadelphia restarted its operation on Oct. 23, offering a limited number of games in a COVID-safe environment.
'We're excited to welcome you back,' a note published on the Rivers Casino website states. 'We worked hard with the Philadelphia's Department of Health and Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to make sure the poker room remains a safe place for guests and our team members.'
The new measures in place include limited seating per table and also placement of plexiglass partitions in some of the key areas in the poker room.
When it comes to masks, '[they] must be worn all the time,' River Casino indicates. 'Surveillance and security — along with all Rivers Casino Philadelphia personnel — will be monitoring continuously and enforcing full compliance.'
Also, 'hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes dispensers have been placed throughout the room and at each table.'
For the time being, food consumption and smoking will not be allowed inside the poker room but will be permitted in a designated area 'near the valet entrance.'
Players interested in joining the live games at the Rivers Casino Philadelphia are invited to check availability via the Bravo Poker App and to call the casino to book a seat at the poker table in advance.

The Mount Airy and the Meadows are Back in Business
The Mount Airy Casino is also back in business, although in a limited capacity. The casino's poker rooms offer seven-handed games and adopted measures that include the mandatory use of face masks and plexiglass dividers placed on each table.
Likewise, the Meadows Poker Room located just outside Philadelphia is back with 14 tables — all dedicated to cash games.
'While the amenities our customers have come to know and love may be somewhat limited [...], the ability to safely welcome back our team members and guests remain our top priority,' the Meadows explains in a note.
'With this in mind, we have been working closely with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, state and local leaders, and public health officials to finalize comprehensive reopening protocols and new health and safety precautions.
'Our returning team members will be trained on these procedures and our guests will see reminder signage about them throughout the property.'
The new protocols include measures such as mandatory face masks, a ban on smoking inside the casino premises, and the use of a special 'fog machine' to sanitize and disinfect the entire property every night.
For the time being, the Meadows Casino plans to operate at 50 percent capacity and not to run any poker tournaments.
BACK TO THE BASICS: Is online poker legal in Pennsylvania?
888Poker and WSOP.com Coming Soon to PA
Things are changing in Pennsylvania also on the online side of the poker industry, as recent developments suggest that the end of the PokerStars PA monopoly could be very near.
Earlier this month, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approved the application submitted by 888, opening the door to two new PA online poker sites.
Mostly known for their 888poker site, the Israel-based gaming company 888Holdings operates in the United States also as a business-to-business (B2B) entity, with its software powering the WSOP.com poker client.

Following the regulatory approval and the fact that also the owner of WSOP.com - Caesars Interactive Entertainment - holds a Pennsylvania license, we can now expect both brands to enter the market and begin to offer online poker games soon.
This would put an end to the monopoly that PokerStars PA has enjoyed since their launch back in November 2019.

Protecting at the tables is one of PokerStars’ top priorities according to a video released on the world’s biggest online poker site’s YouTube channel.
Sadly, cheating and poker go hand-in-hand like eggs and ham. Cheaters will always look to make a quick buck whenever money is on the table. It’s one of the downsides of human nature.
Thankfully, the PokerStars Game Integrity team is on hand to prevent its players from all forms of cheating, be that collusion between two or more players, the use of banned software, and even tracking down “bots.”

PokerStars claims to spend millions of dollars every year keeping its games fair. The vast majority of online poker players adhere to the rules and have no intention of ever cheating their fellow players. The small minority, the unscrupulous section of the community, spoil it for everyone else.
A team of 60-programmers, analysts, and even ex-professional poker players make up PokerStars’ Game Integrity team. They work around the clock, 24-hours per day, seven days a week, using machine-learning algorithms on super-powerful computers.
This team has full access to every single hand PokerStars has ever dealt, all 200 billion of them.
The majority of cheaters are detected by the Game Integrity team, approximately 95% of cheating cases are dealt with without them needed to be flagged by PokerStars’ customers. The fact they deal with so many cases without you ever knowing about them is a testament to their efficiency.
PokerStars’ holds its cards close to its chest when it comes to letting people know what methods it uses to catch cheaters and review the cheaters’ play. Making that public knowledge would allow those cheaters to develop new ways to evade detection so it is counter-intuitive.
The site does, however, state every case of suspected cheating undergoes a rigorous review process where no stone is left unturned. There has been more than one historical case where PokerStars has made suspected cheaters stream their play for them so they could make sure they were able to play as many hands per day naturally without the aid of any banned third-party software.

Once a player has been categorically confirmed as a cheater they are banned from PokerStars. They also run the risk of having their account balances removed, depending on the cheating offence.
Every email sent through to the Game Integrity team is fully investigated by the team. We love poker here at PokerNews and want everyone to play in games that are fair. With that in mind, we implore you to contact PokerStars with any suspected cheating. Don’t waste their time complaining that Player A cracked your aces for the third time in an hour, but anything you suspect looks off should be reported so the perpetrator can be dealt with.
