Live! Casino Pittsburgh in Hempfield at the Westmoreland Mall is undergoing change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Owned and operated by The Cordish Companies<\/a>, the Baltimore casino firm that additionally runs Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, a full-scale resort casino in Pennsylvania, renovation work recently began at Live! Pittsburgh. The venue is a mini-casino, or satellite, of the larger destination resort in Philly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Cordish says it’s investing $3 million to reconfigure the two-story gaming layout in Hempfield. The project is highlighted by relocating the poker room from the second floor to the first level.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The poker facility will continue to feature Texas Hold’em and varying Omaha games in its new 1,050-square-foot home. The previous 1,600-square-foot wood-paneled poker room on the second floor will be converted into a special events space that will complement Venue Live!, which has hosted an array of special casino promotions and private happenings since debuting in 2022.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Casino Overhaul<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Along with moving the poker room down a level, the $3 million project will expand the first-story High Limit Slots room to include three high-limit table games. A bar will also be placed inside the small high roller area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sean Sullivan, general manager of Live! Casino Pittsburgh, said the gaming modifications are the result of player feedback. Some gamblers who visited the casino reportedly were unaware of a poker room.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

These improvements are a result of the continuous feedback we receive through a robust engagement process with our guests and our dedicated team members,” said Sullivan. “We are proud to continue to reinvest in the facility and serve as a world-class gaming and entertainment destination for Westmoreland County. We think our guests will be delighted with the new offerings.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Live! Pittsburgh opened in October 2020<\/a> as the first satellite casino in the state. Being a Category 4 casino, the gaming floor is limited to a maximum of 750 slot machines and 40 live dealer table games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Live! has operated at its slot and table cap since late 2021. The casino offers a FanDuel Sportsbook on the first floor and sports betting kiosks throughout the two-story facility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Casino Success<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Live! Casino Pittsburgh replaced what was formerly a Bon-Ton department store. The casino has helped reignite mall traffic<\/a> and has aided in the Westmoreland Mall’s return to 95% occupancy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cordish invested $150 million to transform the Bon-Ton into a commercial casino. Along with its slots, tables, and sports betting, the casino offers three full-service restaurants — Sports & Social, Guy Fieri’s American Kitchen + Bar, and PBR Country Bar.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The second level section of Sports & Social offers social, non-gambling games like foosball, skeeball, arcade basketball, shuffleboard, bowling, and a golf simulator. The arcade games vary in price from about $5 per half hour for shuffleboard and ping pong to $45 an hour for a bowling lane during peak hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pennsylvania is home to four mini-casinos, with Hollywood Casino York<\/a>, Hollywood Casino Morgantown, and Parx Shippensburg being the other three. Live! Casino Pittsburgh was the top Cat. 4 casino revenue generator last year<\/a> with gross gaming revenue of $114.7 million. Its FanDuel Sportsbook added another $1.7 million.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
