He wouldn't let me in but let my husband in. He didn't like that & copped a nasty attitude, military like & there was no need for that tude. Nor have I been asked forid at least 37 yrs! I took out my drivers license & because I'm auto immune compromised I told him I didn't want him to touch it esp after wiping his nose with his hand but I did put it right up to his face so he can see it since he didn't see my greying hair and aging skin. I was actually startled because I was never asked for id whenever we came & we visited it often.

We go through security & one of the guys waived us through then the other one with this accent & prob around late 50s/60s told me he wanted to see my id. We decided to go get coffee before leaving & you have to go through the casino to the back to purchase it as there are no in room coffee makers or something more convenient outside the casino in the hotel area. We wake up in the morning, pack our belongings, bring our luggage down to our car in secured parking which is great btw. We go down to the casino go through security & enjoy our evening then head to our room for the night. Checked in, lugged our luggage up to our room & again nice & clean rooms. Everything was good until the recent stay. We had been coming here as a fun rest stopover before continuing to our destinations. The hotel is nice, clean & rooms are comfortable, clean & nice river views we had each time my husband & I stayed. I'll start my review with the hotel itself. Many more people would have been playing had there been one or two more $10 tables open. The one they had was full and the other tables with higher limits were not. My only suggestion would be to add at least one more $10 craps table.

Of all the attendees at my business meeting who went over to the casino, not one of them expressed disappointment with the time they had there. It was an easy walk to the casino from there. Many people in my group were staying at the Courtyard Mohawk Harbor (see separate review). I chose blackjack and had a great time with a few friends and a fantastic dealer. There were lots of table game opportunities ranging from blackjack to craps Many slots machines spread around as well. But as an addition to the capital region I found it just right. If people are comparing it to Las Vegas casino, then yes Rivers is on the small side. I actually found it to be very reasonable size.

From what I had been told by people who had been to Rivers Casino already I was expecting it to be small. I recently went with some colleagues to Rivers Casino to check it out and try not to lose too much money.
