text: Full disclosure Being that this is my virgin review so please be kind on my lack of proper grammar and spelling and if you had my elementary and junior high English teachers you would have tuned out as well and be literate on your good days nnBeing that I will stick with a subject matter I am familiar with CASINOS I might be nitpicking and reviewing the minutia of THE RIVERS nnPARKING AND ENTRANCE choice of valet or self parking garage and I went with the latter Easy to navigate and plenty of surv cameras so that you do not feel like you will get jacked before you ever get into the building Btw I can never understand why most casino property patron robberies are late hours after of people are leaving with less than they came with but i suppose they get stalked after leaving the cage and cashing their chequeschipsone arm bandit vouchers Lots of security guards in between the elevators and casino floor Getting carded nearing age always makes me feel a bit flattered yet annoys me frothing to get to the action nnSLOT MACHINES one of my least favorite gaming activities but THE RIVERS machines have plush chairs for my lazy ass with cool little TVs built into machines for ADHD people to multi task as to distract their clearLY addictive slot play slid a CIVIL WAR GENERALCLOWN PRESIDENT dollar bill into blazin s and after about full credit spins my balance read goose eggsand people think humans continue to evolve HA nnTABLE GAMES I went with the lesser of all evils BJ It was early afternoon and the limits seemed a bit high so I choose a dollar table and bought in for bills Original Dealer was quick and courteous and did not seem to vibe off of people getting buried or complaining about poor tipping Typical BJ session and get bored with it up units and getting a baby powder stench from the septuagenerarian seated to my left nnPOKER ROOM very spacious modern and smokefreereminded me of the Venetian Las Vegas when it was first to open such a layout back in n played NL hold them for over hours and was very pleased with the polite yet gregarious dealers who knew how to get the hands out fast yet not cluster f ck the process and confuse the players by needing to redeal or take minutes to seperate side pots I played tight and unfortunately so did everyone else so I lasted minutes and nnBEVERAGES self service coffeetea and soft drink stations which oddly seemed like they had more people in line for them then were in the rest of the casino oh and some goofball filling his oversized thermus with MOUNTAIN DEW official drink of white trashHAHAHA i loved that Many bars on the grounds and being that it must be state laIw or something not to offer free alcohol to players I proceeded to sit at a bar and drink a beer and as usual in casinos the only person not playing a slot machine Was something near bucks for a domestic so i threw down nnBATHROOMS large and clean in typical casino fashion and satisfying in a way that I did not feel like I needed to blow torch my hands instead of washing them after taking a basic leak and do not laugh as i remember paying toilet stalls when i was a wee lad in Nia Falls nnnI did not try any of the restaurants as ran out of time and patience to do so Overall THE RIVERS was a decent yet a bit plain jane facility and just the vibe of any casino knowing it preying on my and everyone elses money can never make it stars but I probably will return and the next time not alone and partially intoxicated In an odd way it reminded me of MGM Grand Las Vegas in its color schemes and layout with a mundane atmosphere THE RIVERS Stars
