River Rock Casino Resort Review
Driving as far west as you can go in Canada, on an admittedly long road trip, to British Columbia will get you to this casino. It’s like all roads, well the Trans Canada anyway, head towards the fun and excitement. The River Rock Casino Resort is located in Richmond, British Columbia and represents the most significant casino in the province. Owned by the Great Canadian Gaming, this huge casino building has over 10,000 visitors every day. It was first opened in 2004, and according to reports, as of 2006, the casino generated an annual revenue of whooping $244 million demonstrating how popular it has become.
The Vancouver area is already deep in the film industry and includes the River Rock in many of their movies. The casino itself played a host to many films, and one of the most famous, if not so much critically acclaimed, is Blonde and Blonder.
The River Rock Casino Floor
Welcome to the gaming area where the choice is entirely yours. You can feel free and explore every single possibility at the casino. There are a lot of them spread in 70,000 square feet. The different game floor features your favourite and classic casino table games. It has over 1,100 slots for the slot gamers to use their best slots strategy. If you want a more significant challenge, the dedicated Poker room and VIP rooms with no limits will offer you the unforgettable excitement.
If you are not in the mood for a gaming action, step aside and enjoy the live entertainment or head down to the resort.
The loyalty system in River Rock Casino Resort is for the most loyal customers that enjoy playing the games. The casino developed the Player’s Club card that will give you an opportunity to win even more prominent, discounts, Show Theatre promotions, VIP treatment with pre-sale notifications and more. You just need to sign up for it and redeem points as you play. There are three membership levels for you to reach: Diamond Level, Double Diamond Level, and Triple Diamond.
The Amenities at River Rock Casino Resort
As I said earlier, if you don’t feel like playing at the moment, you can enjoy the Four-Diamond resort and its offerings.
The accommodation in the hotel is one of a kind. All of the 396 rooms are all customer with a unique touch that shines in the spirit of the Richmond area. It’s where the luxury, ambience, and fantastic hospitality waits for you. If you don’t feel like going to bed that early, you can head down to the first-class spa or take a relaxing swim in the extraordinary resort pool.
The restaurants are within everyone’s mood. The five restaurants (Tramonto, Curve, The Buffet, Sea Harbour, and Food Court) are here to welcome you with their delicious and excellent cooked meals.
You will have an excellent time from check-in to check-out. The hotel staff are very friendly and will help to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Maybe the food in the restaurants will come a little bit pricey for a casino, but you’ll manage to stay satisfied with the quality they are offering. The prices of the food go higher on the weekends. The suites are clean, and the casino exceeds your expectations. The game variety and competitiveness of the table games is what I liked the most.
Entertainment and Tournaments
There are regular poker tournaments you can enjoy and win big prices. You just need to check their schedule and sign up for one of the most exciting venues in the area.
River Rock Casino has three venues for live entertainment that ranges from stand-up comedy to live theatre and, of course, music. The casino specializes in ethnic musicians, in particular form Asia, as well as local artists from the BC lower mainland. They also get there fair share of bigger, if not current, stars like country music legend Dwight Yokoam and 80’s soft rock icons, Air Supply. They also get their fair share of cover bands that rock out to music from legends like Queen.
