One name since 2004

Before the casino, the site at 8811 River Road in Richmond held the Bridgepoint Market. River Rock Casino Resort was built on that ground.

June 25, 2004: first opened to the public as River Rock Casino Resort. No rename has followed since. The line of names on this page is a single entry. River Rock is one of three casinos in this guide that kept their names, alongside Cascades Casino Delta and Cascades Casino Langley.

On June 16, 2026, the owners changed and the name stayed. Anyone searching for an older River Rock name will come up empty: there never was one.
