Rivers Casino Poker Room Overview
Rivers Casino & Entertainment Centre is a long-running Fort McMurray casino offering slots, table games, poker, dining and live entertainment.
The casino publishes a regular $2/$5 cash game and a weekly Saturday No-Limit Hold’em tournament, giving local players both cash and tournament options.
- Fridays only: Cash game $2-$5 starts at 6pm (NEW TIME).
Every other night: 6pm.
- Join us for our Texas Hold ’em POKER TOURNEY every SATURDAY at 3 pm. (Cash game following)
* See pit boss for details
For players living in Fort McMurray and the surrounding Wood Buffalo region, that local availability is probably the biggest selling point.
Things to Know Before You Go
- This is a small poker room with only one table.
- Cash-game availability depends heavily on player turnout.
- The casino doesn’t publish a complete nightly cash-game schedule online.
- The Saturday tournament allows rebuys and an add-on, so the actual cost can exceed the initial $200 buy-in.
- Poker-room hours can vary.
- Calling ahead is strongly recommended if you’re travelling specifically to play poker.
