The venue's position is fixed; a reader's starting point is not
River Rock Casino Resort occupies one specific point in Richmond, British Columbia. That point does not move. A reader asking about distance from "me" or "my location" is asking about a second point that this article cannot resolve, because the reader's origin is not part of the venue's documented record.
What can be stated is the straight-line distance from the venue's fixed coordinates to a set of documented reference points. Every figure below is a great-circle measurement, meaning the shortest path over the Earth's surface, not a road route.

Why straight-line distance and a road trip diverge
Straight-line distance is the shortest path between two coordinate pairs over the Earth's surface. A road journey is longer because a vehicle must follow a built network, not a geometric line. The difference is driven by terrain, water bodies, and the way road systems connect populated areas.
River Rock Casino Resort sits along the Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia. Any route to the venue from the south or east must cross or work around water and mountain corridors, and a route from the United States must pass through border infrastructure. These constraints add distance that no straight-line figure can capture.
Road mileage also depends on the chosen crossing, the route, and the time of day. This article publishes no road mileage and no travel time, because those are route-specific and change with conditions. A reader measuring from their own origin should use a mapping tool with the venue's coordinates, 49.196257, -123.128141, and compare the route result against the straight-line figures above.
Where the venue sits within the region
Richmond is a city in British Columbia, Canada, immediately south of Vancouver and on the Fraser River delta. The venue's coordinates place it in the southwestern corner of Canada, north of the United States border and west of the Canadian interior. Seattle is the nearest major U.S. reference point in the documented set at 116.0 straight-line miles, and Portland is the next nearest at 254.9 straight-line miles.
The venue is far from the interior reference points in the table. Denver sits 1,102.9 straight-line miles away, Las Vegas 986.0 straight-line miles away, and Toronto 2,088.2 straight-line miles away. These figures describe position, not travel practicality.
Electronic games are a documented part of the floor
The documented machine count is 1,150 electronic gaming machines, a figure that includes slots and electronic table games. The same source describes 80 table games, a poker room and an off-track betting parlour. A reader asking whether the venue has electronic games can take the documented answer as yes, with the count subject to change as the property updates its floor.
What this article does not provide is any machine-level detail: no payout ratios, no denominations, no game titles, no jackpot frequency, and no odds claim. Those are operational details that change and are not part of the venue's fixed geographic or facility record.
What to confirm before you go
Facility figures are documented at a point in time, not a live feed. Before travelling, confirm the current machine count, table game count, hotel room availability, and marina status through the property's own channels. The venue's published guest services page and its official booking page carry the current answer.
If the trip involves crossing the U.S.-Canada border, confirm the entry document requirements and current border wait conditions through official government channels. The venue's fixed coordinates do not change, but road conditions, border queues and facility counts do.
