River Rock, Richmond, on the Canada Line

01Getting there from downtown

As the crow flies, River Rock sits about 150 m from the Canada Line's Bridgeport Station. That figure is calculated from TransLink station coordinates. The walking route will be a little longer, and it may be wetter.

River Rock says it is 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver and 5 minutes from the airport on the Canada Line. Those are the venue's own figures. For current train times, check TransLink. The SkyTrain and bus page covers the general routes.

02Hours, and what is not published

River Rock does not publish overall casino hours. It does publish these:

Downtown, Parq Casino is open 24 hours a day. The same cannot be assumed for River Rock, and this guide does not fill the gap with a guess. For slot floor hours, check the venue directly.

03The floor

• Over 1,100 slots
• More than 80 live table games
• 108 electronic table game terminals (Stadium Gaming)
• A 10-table poker room, phone 604-247-8983
• Off-track betting on horse races at a racebook

There is no live racing at River Rock. The racebook takes wagers on races run elsewhere. River Rock uses Encore Rewards.

04Hotel, theatre and food

River Rock has a hotel with nearly 400 rooms. A Sky Bridge joins the Hotel Tower to the Casino Tower. The pool comes with a water slide. Check-in is limited to guests 19 or older.

The Show Theatre seats 1,000 people. The venue publishes its own event listings.

Places to eat on site include KOI, Sea Harbour, Gordon Ramsay Steak and The Chairman's Room buffets. The food court kitchens are being upgraded, so Zio's is closed and Chopsticks serves a limited menu. Hours and menus are on River Rock's own site.

05Parking

The self-parking entrance sits on the west side and is reached from River Road. Valet is off River Road, and over-height vehicles use the East Parkade.

The only parking prices River Rock publishes are $33 per night for overnight valet and $25 per night for over-height self-parking. Self-parking for casino visitors has no published rate. If you are driving, ask the venue first.

06Ownership and history

River Rock first opened its doors on June 25, 2004. A partnership of two parties has owned it since June 16, 2026. Petroglyph Development Group, the first partner, belongs to the Snuneymuxw First Nation, while the second, Musqueam Capital Corp, belongs to the Musqueam Indian Band. The seller to the partnership was Great Canadian Entertainment.
