Games on the River Cree Gaming Floor

What you’ll find on the gaming floor

Our gaming floor is laid out to be welcoming whether you visit often or only now and then. The room is large and bright, with wide aisles and clear sightlines that make it simple to find the area you’re looking for. Slots and electronic gaming take up the most space, with River Cree table games and the poker room set apart so each has its own atmosphere.

The floor runs 24 hours, so you can play on your own schedule. Quieter mornings suit guests who prefer a calmer room; evenings and weekends bring more energy, especially when there’s an event on at the entertainment centre. Whatever time you arrive, the customer service desk is the easiest place to get your bearings, and staff are happy to point you toward the games you want.

A reminder before we get into the specifics: you must be 18 or older to play, and staff may ask for valid photo identification regardless of your age. Everything below describes games as you’ll experience them on site at River Cree.

Slot machines and electronic gaming

River Cree slots are the busiest part of the floor, and for good reason. The range of River Cree slot machines spans classic reel-style cabinets for guests who like a traditional feel, and modern video slots with bonus features, themed artwork and varied paylines for those who want more on the screen.

Slot machine variety

Machines are grouped by style and denomination so you can settle into the area that suits you. You’ll find lower-denomination banks for longer, lighter sessions and higher-limit machines for guests who prefer bigger stakes, with comfortable seating throughout. Electronic gaming terminals sit alongside the slots, offering a familiar push-button experience for guests who enjoy that format.

A few practical notes on the slot areas:

• Take your time finding a machine. The floor is large, so it’s worth a slow lap to see what’s on before you sit down.
• Ask staff about anything unfamiliar. If a machine’s features aren’t clear, floor staff can explain how a game plays.
• Mind your belongings. Keep your card, ID and personal items with you when you move between machines.

Slots are the easiest way into the floor for first-time visitors, and they’re the reason many regulars come back, so we keep the machines well spaced and the lighting comfortable for longer sessions. There’s no pressure to learn rules or read a table before you start; you choose a machine, take a seat, and play at your own pace. That low barrier is exactly why the slot areas are the busiest and most approachable part of the floor, whether you’re stopping in for a few minutes between dinner and a show or settling in for the evening.

Table games at River Cree

For guests who prefer a dealer and a live table, River Cree carries a full set of classic casino table games. There’s a different feel to dealer-led play: a shared rhythm at the table, a bit of conversation, and the simple appeal of cards, chips and a wheel in front of you.

Blackjack, roulette and baccarat

River Cree blackjack is a floor staple, with tables that suit both newer players learning the game and regulars who know exactly how they like to play. River Cree roulette adds the spin of the wheel and a wide spread of betting options, while River Cree baccarat offers a straightforward, fast-moving game that’s easy to follow once you’ve watched a few hands.

Table limits vary through the day depending on how busy the floor is, so you’ll usually find something that fits your budget. Dealers are used to explaining the rules, so if you’re new to a game, just take a seat at a quieter time and ask. These River Cree live casino games are the heart of the dealer-led experience and a big part of what makes a visit to a land-based resort feel different from anything you can do remotely.

A quick comparison of the main table games:

The poker room

River Cree poker has its own dedicated room, set apart from the main floor so play has the focus it deserves. The poker room is a comfortable space for cash games and, at times, tournament action.

Poker formats and seating

The room is set up for both regulars and newcomers. Cash games run during regular hours, and the room periodically hosts tournament play; check on site or ahead of your visit for the current schedule, as formats and start times change. Seating is comfortable, the tables are well spaced, and the room staff keep games running smoothly.

If you’re new to poker, the room is an approachable place to start. Arrive at a quieter time, let the staff know you’re learning, and you’ll find it a friendly introduction. For experienced players, River Cree poker is a reliable spot for an evening of cards in the Edmonton area.

A few things to keep in mind for the poker room:

• Check the schedule. Cash-game hours and tournament dates change, so confirm what’s running on site or before you visit.
• Buy in at the desk. Room staff will explain how to take a seat and buy into a game when you arrive.
• Pace yourself. Poker sessions can run long, so plan breaks for food and rest; the restaurants are a short walk away.

Sportsbook and live action

For guests who like to follow the games, the River Cree sportsbook brings live sports into the experience. Placing a wager on a match adds another way to spend an evening at the resort, especially when there’s a big fixture on.

Placing a wager

If you’re new to it, staff can walk you through how wagering works on site, what’s available to bet on, and how to read the odds. As with everything on the floor, the sportsbook is for guests 18 and over, and we encourage you to set your own limits and treat it as part of a night out rather than a way to chase a result.

Bingo and other ways to play

Beyond slots, tables and poker, River Cree bingo gives guests another social, lower-key way to play. Bingo sessions have a friendly, communal feel that’s a bit different from the rest of the floor, and they’re popular with regulars who enjoy the rhythm of a called game.

Bingo sessions tend to draw a regular crowd, and the shared, called rhythm of the game makes them an easy, welcoming way to spend an afternoon or evening. If you’ve never tried it, the room staff can walk you through how a session works before you start.

Between the slot machines, River Cree table games, the poker room, the sportsbook and bingo, the floor covers the full range of ways to play under one roof. Whatever you come for, you’ll find it in one connected, easy-to-navigate space, open 24 hours a day. And because the gaming floor sits in the same building as the restaurants, the hotel and the entertainment centre, it’s easy to fold a session into a larger evening: a meal, a few hands or spins, and a show, without leaving the resort. However you like to play, the floor is built to be welcoming, well organised and easy to navigate from your first visit.

You must be 18 or older to play at River Cree Resort & Casino. Please play responsibly. Gaming in Alberta is regulated by the AGLC, with confidential support available through GameSense and Alberta’s responsible-gambling resources.
