Rivers Casino (Des Plaines, IL) - Page 3 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

According to their website the room will have 22 tables. No info on games, limits, rake, tourneys and the like yet.

But that many tables begs the question: Did IL get rid of the maximum gaming positions rule?

Getting excited! Waited so long for this. Hope they have enough dealers and hope 22 tables is enough to actually get to play without a crazy long list.

Heard from a dealer that April 7th is the opening date and that rake will be 6+1.

Speculative obviously but do we think there will be a market for them to spread games other than NL/PLO? Got a friend moving here from the east coast who plays a lot of mid/high stakes LHE and FLO8/Stud, interested to see if there will be a market for that here.

Does anyone know who the poker room manager will be? I thought I had seen them on here but maybe I'm wrong.

Nice. I won't be able to make it opening weekend as we've got friends in town from back home in London, and I'm sure it'll be an absolute shitshow anyway, but I'll def be trying it out the following weekend.

So they haven't made any further announcements yet but are supposed to be opening next week? Seems optimistic...

April 8 is the official date according to one of their poker room managers. Some people are speculating that they may soft open a few days earlier.

Saw that too. I do not have my hopes up for an opening next week but I hope I'm wrong.

Probably waiting on GVC's bad beat hit. Going to be hard to draw players away from that room with bb over 350k.

Doubt that is playing into the calculus. It might not hit for months (it hasn't hit since November).

At GVC last night the dealers and floor were convinced Rivers was opening Thursday/Friday. Who knows.
