No. 1Published sources come first
The desk relies on information that venues and official bodies publish themselves. For River Rock, that means the resort's own site at riverrock.com and the former operator's page at Great Canadian Entertainment, which sold the resort in June 2026.
For rules on age, ID and gambling in the province, the desk turns to BCLC, including its Casinos BC ID page, and to the Province of British Columbia. For transit, TransLink is the reference the desk prefers.
Information that appears only on third-party listing sites is either left out or described in general terms, without a figure.
No. 2When sources disagree
Sources sometimes give different figures for the same thing. When that happens, the desk usually leaves the number out or notes that the venue publishes it. Where the operator has published a figure itself, the desk may give that figure and name its source.
The number of live table games at River Rock is one example. Other listings give different counts, so the desk uses only the figure from Great Canadian's June 2026 sale release: more than 80.
Details that could not be confirmed, such as holiday hours or a dress code, are not stated as fact. Where a reader would expect such a detail, the desk says so briefly and points to the venue's official site.
No. 3Opening hours and the open or closed note
The open or closed note on the desk compares the current time in Pacific time, the time zone for Richmond, with the hours the venue publishes.
It cannot reflect holiday changes, private events or temporary closures unless the venue has published them. Before a special trip, you may wish to check the venue's own site.
No. 4Distances
Distances on the desk are measured in a straight line between two points. They are not walking or driving routes. Streets, walkways, stairs and lifts can make the actual trip longer, so you may wish to allow a little extra time.
No. 5What the desk does not claim
The desk does not claim visits, telephone calls, interviews or tests. Its pages are written from published material only. No bets are accepted by the desk, and it keeps no accounts.
How the site is paid for is set out on How the desk is funded. More about the site is on About the desk.
No. 6When information was last checked
The information on the desk was last checked in October 2026. Where a fact depends on a date, such as a show listing, it is written as of that date.
