Sugar Hill Gambling

Went to Rivers Casino (formerly Sugar House) in Philly during a pub crawl with my brother. Casino was pretty decent sized, had a good selection of tables and slots, with a few bars as well. Located in the Northern Liberties neighborhood (I think), it is the most centrally located of the Philly casinos, most of the other ones are in the suburbs. You are welcome to register from any state in the U.S., but must be 21+ years old and physically located in NJ to wager. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-Gambler. SugarHouse™ and SugarHouse Casino® are marks of Sugarhouse HSP Gaming, L.P.

The lowdown

Players on SugarHouse Casino earn loyalty points in much the same manner that they do on other sites; by making wagers.

Points accrue at different rates, depending on the Return-To-Player of the game being played:

Sugar Hill Casino

  • 95% RTP: 1 point per $5 wagered.
  • 97.5% RTP: 1 point per $10 wagered.
  • 99% RTP: 1 point per $25 wagered.

Points are applied to a players tier status. At present, the site features 10 tiers, with monthly point requirements for each tier.

Tier levels

  • 1: 40 points
  • 2: 160 points
  • 3: 400 points
  • 4: 760 points
  • 5: 1,400 points
  • 6: 2,800 points
  • 7: 5,200 points
  • 8: 8,800 points
  • 9: 13,600 points
  • 10: 20,000 points
  • 10+: Contact support

Pretty familiar stuff so far. But here’s where the loyalty system diverges from the norm.

Each time players reach a new tier, up to Tier 10, they receive one spin on the site’s Prize Wheel. There, they are guaranteed a random win ranging from one to a few hundred dollars. The higher the account level, the better the odds of hitting a larger bonus.

This model stands in some contrast to traditional models that increase cashback rates more predictably, but offer much lower rates to new players. Also, SugarHouse’s variable model just feels more exciting, both aesthetically, and via the fact that players will occasionally win big bonuses.

All in all, the SugarHouse Casino loyalty program is yet another perk that should immediately appeal to the casual gambler, and at least somewhat to the hardcore crowd.
