Salon de Jeux de Trois-Rivières

Casino at Salon de jeux de Trois-Rivières

Salon de jeux de Trois-Rivières does not command its visitors’ attention with its size, instead leaning on its high-quality games, including slot machines, VLTs and an array of electronic table games. More than 200 machines are strategically placed across the casino floor so players can quickly locate their favourite terminal.

The games are provided courtesy of the leading casino software companies and distributors in the business, such as IGT, SG, WMS, Bally and others that keep the offer fresh.

The only major downside to the portfolio of games at Salon de jeux de Trois-Rivières is the lack of table games where players could square off against croupiers and one another. Luckily, electronic games fill that void to an extent as there are several types of blackjack, roulette and other popular games available at various playing stations.

In the case of blackjack, there are two tables that can fit up to six players each.

Well, there will be an actual table host who deals the cards electronically on game screens. The players can interact with the host and inquire about the bonus bets they can place, so the atmosphere resembles a proper casino.

Other electronic table games include baccarat, sic bo and Poker 3, played with three cards instead of one and with a pairs plus bet where you try to predict that your hand will be a pair or better.
