The hotel suggests we use the complimentary shuttle offered by the casino. We decide to go to the Rivers Casino for dinner and some casual gambling. I'm taking my own advice on this one! Stay the hell away from 'RIVERS CASINO' in Des Plaines, Illinois. 'Rivers Casino' in Des Plaines isn't satisfied getting your money throughout an evenings 'entertainment', they want it ALL, AND THEY WANT IT 'NOW!' ALL OF IT!
REALLY, I asked the dealer, I still can't believe it. NEVER, NO WHERE, EVER, have I been to a casino where the smaller gambler was pushed away!Įvery casino, I've been to has had a $10 or $20 table, at 2am, maybe even a $5 Blackjack table. What ever happened to the $5, $10, $15, minimum bets?Īnyone who comes here for entertainment had better be 'wealthy'!! Last night I decided to go and see for myself, and sure enough, if you weren't a 'big time' gambler, you have no business in the 'Rivers Casino'.Īt 2am, BlackJack tables are 'minimum bet' $50! REALLY! I've heard from many others about the problem, but really didn't believe them. I have never seen anything like this 'Rivers Casino' in Des Plaines, Illinois!ĭisappointing is the 'best' rating I can give it. I've visited many casino's around the world, including Monte Carlo, Monaco several times.
