Live! Casino Pittsburgh is not in Pittsburgh. It is in Greensburg, about 30 miles east, in the parking lot of Westmoreland Mall. That is not an accident of real estate. It is the direct result of how Pennsylvania wrote its gambling law.
The property opened on November 24, 2020 at a cost of roughly $150 million, and it was the first Category 4 casino to open its doors in the state. It holds a 4.1 rating from more than 3,100 Google reviewers, which is strong for a venue this size.
What a "Category 4" casino is, and why it matters here
Pennsylvania's 2017 gaming expansion created a new licence class for smaller satellite casinos, capped well below what a full resort can carry, and auctioned the licences to existing operators. Each winner had to site its property a set distance from the established casinos.
That cap is the single most useful thing to know before you visit. Live! Pittsburgh is a deliberately mid-sized floor, not a scaled-down resort, and it was built to serve a catchment the big Pittsburgh rooms were not reaching.
The floor
100,000 square feet, carrying around 750 slot machines and more than 40 live table games, plus a High Limit room.
That table count is the number worth noticing. Forty-plus live games on a 750-slot floor is a high ratio, well above what most rooms this size run, and it means you can generally find an open seat at a reasonable minimum on a weeknight.
A seven-table poker room opened in December 2021, a year after the casino itself. It is small, and it fills, so it suits a planned evening better than a walk-in.
There is a FanDuel Sportsbook on site for retail betting.
Eating and watching sport
Sports & Social Steel City is the anchor: a sports restaurant and gaming venue rather than a bar bolted onto a floor, and it is where the room is loudest on a Steelers Sunday. Mangia Featuring DeLallo covers the fast casual end.
Hours and getting there
Open 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
5260 US-30, Greensburg, directly off Route 30 at Westmoreland Mall. Parking is the mall's, which means it is free and there is a great deal of it — a genuine advantage over the downtown Pittsburgh rooms, where parking is a cost and a hassle.
From downtown Pittsburgh it is about 40 minutes on the Parkway East and Route 30.
Is casino gambling legal in Pennsylvania?
Yes, and has been at licensed venues since the 2004 gaming act, with table games added in 2010 and the satellite casinos, sports betting and online gambling following the 2017 expansion. Live! Pittsburgh operates under a Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board licence.
You must be 21 to gamble.
Worth the drive?
If you live east of Pittsburgh, obviously — it is closer than anything else and the table ratio is better than the size suggests. If you are coming from the city, the honest answer is that Rivers Casino Pittsburgh is on the North Shore and bigger, and you would need a specific reason to drive past it.
The specific reason most people have is the parking and the crowd. Greensburg is calmer, the tables are easier to get on, and nobody is paying $30 to leave their car.
