Three Rivers Expanding

Big changes are ahead for the Three Rivers Casino in Florence Oregon. The cozy casino currently has 400 slots, six tables, a cafe, snack bar and sports bar. The newer and bigger casino complex -- expected to open at year's end -- will include a gaming floor that is quadrupled in size, 5 dining venues, a special events center and a 93-room/suite hotel. More than 250 new employees will join the staff.

The new casino will have 650 gaming machines plus live poker and blackjack, craps and roulette. The dining options will include a big buffet and fine dining in the steakhouse.

Presently, Three Rivers welcomes RVs to dry camp in their parking lot and it is expected the casino will continue to be RV-friendly. Three Rivers is located on US Hwy-126 just east of Florence, OR, near the 101.
