Slots and Live Tables at Rivers Casino
Checked October 12, 2026Filed by the Shift Log desk
The floor at Rivers Casino & Entertainment Centre holds over 400 slot machines, live table games and 3 poker tables. Slots and tables keep different hours, and the poker panel below shows when the cash game starts each day.
Slots
Rivers Casino has over 400 slot machines on a coinless floor. Play runs on ticket-in/ticket-out, so no coins change hands. The floor carries provincial and local progressive slots. AGLC lists electronic table games here as well, alongside the slot machines and live tables.
Slot hours are Sunday to Thursday 9:30 AM to 3:00 AM. On Friday and Saturday the machines stay on until 4:00 AM.
Late closes belong to the next calendar day. A Friday 4:00 AM close is early Saturday morning, and the Saturday close falls on Sunday morning. The same applies Sunday to Thursday: a Thursday 3:00 AM close lands early Friday. The casino does not post its holiday hours, so confirm them with the casino directly.
Live tables
The live games are Blackjack, Free Bet Blackjack, Roulette and Ultimate Texas Hold'em. The table schedule differs from the slots and changes by day. Tables run 4 PM to 2 AM Monday through Wednesday. Thursday through Saturday, they run 2 PM to 3 AM. Sunday hours are 2 PM to 2 AM.
Each 2 AM or 3 AM close falls early the next morning, so a Monday close at 2 AM is early Tuesday. The total number of tables is not published, and neither are table minimums. For those questions, the Table Games Manager is at (780) 790-9739, extension 104. Confirm any holiday hours by contacting the casino.
Poker
Rivers Casino has 3 poker tables. Cash games start at 6 PM every night. On Fridays the game is $2-$5, with the same 6 PM start. Stakes on other nights are not published. Details on each game come from the pit boss.
Poker room hours are not published as fixed hours. The casino asks players to call (780) 790-9739, extension 105, for them. Extension 105 reaches The Pit. The Poker Room line is extension 109. Holiday hours should also be confirmed by phone.
