River Cree Resort and Casino
Edmonton’s favourite entertainment destination Readers’ Choice Gold Winner for Best Casino six years in a row!
Located just west of Edmonton, on Enoch Cree Nation, River Cree Resort and Casino is the region’s favourite casino and the Edmonton Journal Readers’ Choice Awards Gold Winner for best casino for the sixth year in a row.
River Cree Resort and Casino has it all: with more than 1,300 slot machines, your favourite table games, great dining, world-class entertainment and an onsite hotel and two skating rinks.
And it just keeps getting better.
This year River Cree renovated its entire main-floor casino to be 100 per cent smokefree, and opened a new, 27,000-sq-ft smoker-friendly expansion called EMBERS.
EMBERS is a great addition to River Cree Resort and Casino, boasting more than 400 slot machines and 14 table games for your enjoyment, along with Onyx Lounge, also smoke-friendly. For the comfort of players, EMBERS is equipped with a state-of-theart ventilation system.
On the main floor, the renovation allowed for the addition of a new restaurant, Cha Xpress, which serves fresh and delicious Chinese food in a casual dining atmosphere.
River Cree’s Grab & Go store also received a makeover, and serves fun and fast treats like hot dogs, corn dogs, pizza slices, and other great snacks.
The changes just add to the already overflowing list of amenities and services at the resort and casino
River Cree now has 1,350 slot machines, along with VLT machines and 40 table games, including Black Jack, Roulette, Baccarat, Craps, EZ Baccarat featuring Dragon 7 and Panda 8, and many more.
The casino’s Poker Pit is the best in the Edmonton area, featuring daily and weekly tournaments.
Visitors can join the free Players Club for great promotions, VIP treatment, huge food and beverage discounts, and to earn points which can be converted to River Cree Bucks for use in restaurants, the hotel, the gift shop, and more.
The new and improved restaurants and lounges join the already famous SC Damn Good Food, where you can enjoy Chef Shane Chartand’s award-winning dishes,
There are also dining specials, like the Steak & Prawn dinner for $15.99 on Monday & Tuesdays, $4.99, breakfast special seven days a week, and Happy Hour throughout the entire resort and casino Sunday to Thursday from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Other dining options continue to include the Kitchen Buffet, with extensive selection for breakfast, lunch and dinner; Tap 25 sports bar, with off-track betting and sensational wings, burgers and draught beers; and the Centre Bar, with its stylish setting overlooking the casino action.
River Cree Resort and Casino also offers world-class entertainment in Edmonton’s own backyard, with more than 91 shows taking place in 2019 alone.
That’s more concerts and events in the region than at any other venue, with crowds flocking to shows headlined by musical stars like Tanya Tucker, Air Supply, Kool and the Gang, and ZZ Top, comedians like Howie Mandel, Cheech and Chong, and Larry the Cable Guy, and many other performers.
While River Cree Resort and Casino is great for a visit any day, you can keep the excitement going by booking a stay in its full-service hotel, with 249 guest rooms, a fitness centre, swimming pool and whirlpool, concierge services and 24-hour room service.
Starting in March 2020 the hotel will be completely renovated and updated to even higher standards and style, with work done one floor at a time, so the hotel can continue to be open for guests during the project.
Befitting one of Canada’s top entertainment destinations, River Cree is the perfect place to host weddings, galas and any special family or corporate event – complete with dining services, hotel rooms and even two Nhl-sized hockey rinks that can host local games and tournaments.
The resort and casino continues to offer super convenient access, with ample free parking, free valet parking and free shuttle services.
For a great time only a short drive from home, head to River Cree Resort and Casino, the Edmonton region’s favourite casino for six years running.
