Riverside Casino & Golf Resort: Slots, Poker An Sportsbook

Riverside Casino and Golf Resort Gambling Partnerships

Riverside Casino & Golf Resort has forged business partnerships with multiple leading casino software providers. Riverside Casino has chosen to rely on a software solution with Elite Sportsbook. It has all the necessary features and functions to compete with other top online sportsbooks in Iowa.

Casino at Riverside

Riverside Casino & Golf Resort features an extensive casino floor, which spans 50,000 square feet. Plush carpets, artistic tapestries, cascading waterfalls, LED lighting and giant TV screens set the right playing atmosphere. In addition to the decor, you can enjoy first-class service from VIP hosts.

What separates Riverside Casino from other venues is the choice of 900+ slots and video poker machines, 40+ tables with games such as blackjack, roulette, craps, e-roulette and many others.

A dedicated poker room with daily cash games and tournaments is the icing on the gambling cake. It is also a perfect place to square off against the best poker players in the state. There is even a special high-limit slots room, where each spin of the slot lever comes at the cost of several dollars. The jackpots you can hit there are often worth thousands of dollars.

Riverside Casino also rewards players with the Resorts Club loyalty program regularly. Other promotions include:

• Hot Seats & High Limit Hot Seats: On Jan. 15 and 22, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., all slot machines became Hot Seats, offering prizes of up to $100 every 20 minutes.
• Bring a Friend: If you bring a friend to register for the Resorts Club loyalty program, you will receive $10 in free slot play or one free domestic beer.

Slot machines

Riverside’s portfolio of 900+ slot machines includes options from leading casino software providers such as IGT, Konami, SG, Bally, WMS and plenty of others.

The games have a range of betting levels. You can opt for the so-called penny-slots, all the way up to the slots that allow you to bet $5+, especially in the high limit room. Here, you will find games such as Double Gold, 7 Sizzling, Triple 7s and many others that belong to the group of multi-dollar machines.

Some of the most popular titles at Riverside Casino include the Lock It Link series, Dragon Edition: Cash Fortune Deluxe, Buffalo Thundering 7s and Xtreme Panda. There are also progressive jackpot slots, such as High Stakes: Lightning Cash, Huff n’ Puff and Sahara Gold, with jackpots that increase with every pull of the lever.

To keep the games fresh and appealing to all players, Riverside Casino makes sure that the latest slot releases are available. That means you can expect new additions like Cash Falls Hou Zhu, Fantastic Dragons Fire (the only such game in Iowa), Piggy Bankin’ and more.

Table games

Many casinos focus on slots and video poker games. As a result, many players who prefer the old-school gambling experience that only table games such as roulette, blackjack and craps can bring may feel disgruntled. Luckily, though, Riverside Casino Iowa has made sure not to neglect these folks and its lineup of 40+ tables of casino games is a testament to that.

Apart from the more common versions of blackjack, roulette and poker games, the casino offers you an opportunity to indulge in versions such as the Mississippi stud poker with linked progressive jackpots, TriLux Blackjack with an exceptional side bet and Face Up Pai Gow. The list of available table games includes:

• Craps
• Roulette
• Face Up Pai Gow Poker
• TriLux Blackjack
• Blackjack Tables
• Ultimate Texas Hold’em
• bonus bet Blackjack with Pot of Gold
• Mississippi stud with linked progressives
• EZ Baccarat
• Shoot to Win Electronic Craps
• Electronic roulette
• Aruze Roll to Win electronic live craps

Resorts Club loyalty program

Riverside Casino & Golf Resort owners also offer a loyalty program — Resorts Club — that’s brimming with benefits and perks, such as free slot and video poker play, dining coupons, hotel stays, and discounts on spa services.

The best thing about the Resorts Club program is that all visitors can participate and start collecting comp points toward better and more generous prizes. The program is also available in all three Iowa resorts under the ownership of Elite Casino Resorts LLC, which means you can enjoy the benefits at all of them.

The program is composed of four levels, with higher levels offering better prizes. To move up the levels, you need to generate enough comp points. Every time you play slots and table games or make a purchase at the resort’s retail shop or hotel, you will earn a number of loyalty points. The more you play, the faster you accumulate points and move up the levels.

• Classic (invitations to promotions, points for gambling, hotel stays, etc.) — awarded to all players.
• Elite Pearl (all perks from the Classic level, plus access to the VIP buffet line, discounts on drinks, special invitations to events, spa discounts, etc.) — awarded after you have gathered 75,000 points during one year.

Riverside Casino & Golf Resort History

Elite Casino Resorts is the gambling company behind Riverside Casino & Golf Resort. The company is locally owned by the Kehl family, which has been in the gambling business since the 1970s.

In 2005, Riverside Casino & Golf Resort was one of only four applicants to receive a gambling license from the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission. In 2006, the casino opened its doors to visitors.

Over the years, the casino has gone through various upgrades and changes — such as an $11 million reconstruction in 2019 to build Elite Sportsbook.
