Rivers Casino Chicago Poker Room
Posted : admin On 4/3/2022A poker room where every single player is a tourist.
We aren't gamblers. We don't play blackjack or roulette or poker or any of the table games. Add Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, Illinois, to the list. Located at 3000 South River Road, adjacent to the Tri-State Tollway at the northwest corner of Devon Avenue and River Road, the 140,000-square-foot casino opened in 2011 in Chicago's.
Could a card room be built at one of the nation’s busiest airports? That’s the plan from Chicago mayoral candidate Garry McCarthy, a former police superintendent. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, McCarthy apparently plans to run for office with the pitch attached to his campaign. The election is slated for early 2019, with a handful of candidates already officially in the mix.
Mount Airy and Mohegan Sun Pocono had opened their poker rooms earlier this month, on October 16. Rivers Casino Philadelphia, which had reopened its casino gaming floor on July 17, will operate around-the-clock. The poker room can run up to 14 tables with a maximum capacity of approximately 100 guests. Gila River Hotels & Casinos - Wild Horse Pass in Chandler, Ariz., will reopen its poker room on Friday. Games will be 7-handed with Plexiglas dividers on tables. Masks and temperature checks are required, and chips will be sanitized with a UV light wand. Food service will not be available. Rivers poker room To comply with the new order from the state, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh will be temporarily close effective Dec. 12 at Midnight (12:01AM)., to help limit the spread of COVID-19. The health and well-being of our Team Members, guests and the community is our number-one priority. A schedule of Rivers Casino poker tournaments, including time, buy-in, blind structure, and more.

On the heels of O’Hare International Airport recently being approved for an $8.5 billion expansion project, McCarthy’s idea seeks to end a years-long debate on whether Chicago should have a Las Vegas-style casino and, if so, where it would be located. He believes that a casino at O’Hare would be a boon for the city. Around 80 million people fly into it each year.
“The issue with a casino in the city…was all of the problems it causes in the community,' he said during an interview for the WBBM-AM Radio program, At Issue. “How about we put a casino in O’Hare Airport where now it’s for travelers coming through and it’s not going to affect the community and anybody who goes there has to go through TSA?”
Speaking like a former police chief, McCarthy said that a casino in a highly-secured location would mitigate against some of the social problems that casinos bring. President Donald Trump has at times singled out the city for its crime, which includes his claims that Afghanistan is safer.
A casino at O’Hare is “going to eliminate the issue of the downside of not being able to control what happens — whether it’s organized crime, prostitution, narcotics or whatever it is and, at the same time, that’s going to generate revenue,” McCarthy said. “How many people come through O’Hare and have layovers and have to sit around for hours and hours and hours? If they’re sitting at a blackjack table, there’s going to be revenue generated.'
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has floated the idea of brining a casino to downtown Chicago, but a precise location reportedly has never been pitched by his team.
McCarthy’s plan would surely ruffle some feathers with the operators of the Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, which is about a five-minute drive from O’Hare.
“I don’t know why anybody else hasn’t talked about this,' McCarthy said of his idea.
