If gambling isn’t your cup of tea, stop in to try one of the 5 eateries located inside River City. The table games consist of Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette, Let It Ride, Three-Card Poker, Four-Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold ’em, and Pai Gow Poker. The casino floor itself is 90,000 square feet, featuring 2000 slot machines and approximately 55 table games. In addition to this, patrons can look forward to “smoke curtains,” which emit a constant stream of air that quickly pulls smoke away from table game players and dealers. Guests will find adjustable chairs for exceptional comfort as well as larger aisles for easier access to every part of the gaming floor. Along with this old school look, comes the comfort of the 21st century.
River City has an old Vegas bright and over the top vibe to it. Located 2 miles off of Interstate 55 in South County, it is nothing like Pinnacle’s first venture, Lumiere. River City Casino is the second casino for Pinnacle Entertainment in St. Immediately I was transported to old Las Vegas. I was greeted with a 1904 theme, with Fleur-de-Lis covering the ceiling in the grand central entryway leading to the chandelier covered casino floor. I walked into River City Casino not knowing what to expect.
