River Rock Casino Resort: The Independent 2026 Guide
River Rock Casino Resort is a physical casino resort on the Fraser River waterfront in Richmond, British Columbia. It opened on June 25, 2004, describes itself as the largest casino resort in Western Canada, and since June 16, 2026 has been owned by a partnership of Petroglyph Development Group and Musqueam Capital Corp. This guide — from an independent publication, not the operator — covers what the resort is, how to verify current details, and where the rest of our coverage goes deeper.
The essentials, verified
- What it is: a land-based casino resort combining a gaming floor, a hotel, dining and the River Rock Show Theatre. (Verified 2026-08-07 against the ownership announcement and public records.)
- Where it is: Richmond, British Columbia, on Musqueam lands, beside the Fraser River's middle arm and close to Vancouver International Airport (YVR).
- Official website: riverrock.com — the authoritative source for hours, promotions, bookings and contact channels.
- Legal age: 19+, as at all British Columbia casinos.
- Transit: the Canada Line's Bridgeport Station sits next to the resort, one rapid-transit ride from YVR or downtown Vancouver.
Ownership, dated
Great Canadian Entertainment operated River Rock for years. On June 16, 2026, the parties announced the completed sale of the resort to a partnership of Petroglyph Development Group — the economic development arm of Snuneymuxw First Nation — and Musqueam Capital Corp, the economic development arm of Musqueam Indian Band. The full history is in Who Owns River Rock Casino Resort.
What this guide will not do
We do not publish hours, promotion values, restaurant lineups or room rates unless we have verified them on a dated source — those change too often to hardcode. Where we haven't verified a detail, the relevant guide says so and points you to the official page instead.
