River Rock Casino Resort: the independent 2026 guide

Open the complete guide

River Rock Casino Resort has anchored the Fraser River waterfront in Richmond, British Columbia since June 25, 2004, and bills itself as the largest casino resort in Western Canada. On June 16, 2026 its sale to a partnership of Petroglyph Development Group — the economic development arm of Snuneymuxw First Nation — and Musqueam Capital Corp closed, moving the resort to Indigenous ownership.

Rivers Rock Canada covers that venue and the wider Canadian gaming landscape the way a good field guide should: independently, with dates on every changing fact and links to the sources that support them. We are not the casino. We sell nothing on its behalf. We check, and we tell you what we could not check.

Set the record straight

River Rock is a physical casino resort — not an online casino account on this website.

River Rock Casino Resort is a land-based venue in Richmond, BC with an official website at riverrock.com. Online casino play in British Columbia runs through PlayNow, operated by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Rivers Rock Canada is an independent publication: it has no player accounts, takes no deposits, and processes no wagers. Pages that once suggested otherwise on this domain were wrong and have been replaced.

Every changing fact carries a date.

Hours, ownership, promotions, dining and gaming details change. Rivers Rock shows when each fact was checked, which source supports it and what changed. When we cannot verify something, we say so instead of guessing.
