The rivers poker room is a joke at this point. The place is seriously understaffed, and the people that they do have are lacking. SLOOOOOW dealers, even with automated machines, often cant read the board correctly at showdown, and not much personality either. If you like to drink too bad because not only is alchohol not free, even getting a waitress might literally take hours. Again, completely understaffed. All this assumes you can even get on a table to begin with as the room only has 15 tables, and often you will have to wait hours unless you go at 5am in the morning. Even with a 30 person wait for 1/2 nl, there is sometimes several open tables cause again, they are understaffed and dont have enough dealers. If they get the staffing issues worked out all these things can be improved but for right now quite a bit disappointing, to say the least
