Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady

Rivers Casino and Resort Schenectady is a fully integrated casino resort located on the banks of the Mohawk River in downtown Schenectady, New York, representing one of the most significant gaming and hospitality investments in the Capital Region’s recent history. Operated by Rush Street Gaming, a respected American casino company with properties across multiple states, the resort opened in 2017 as part of New York State’s commercial casino expansion programme. The gaming floor offers a comprehensive range of options including over 1,150 slot machines, over 65 live table games such as roulette, blackjack, craps, and baccarat, and a dedicated poker room hosting daily cash games and regular tournament events. Beyond gaming, Rivers Casino and Resort Schenectady features a 165-room hotel tower with well-appointed rooms and suites, a full-service spa and fitness centre, and multiple food and beverage outlets ranging from casual dining to upscale restaurants. The resort is fully licensed by the New York State Gaming Commission and maintains rigorous responsible gaming standards. Its riverside location in downtown Schenectady has contributed to the revitalisation of the city’s waterfront district, attracting additional retail, dining, and entertainment investment to the surrounding area. The property is accessible via the New York State Thruway and Amtrak’s Empire Service connecting to Albany and New York City.
