The primary objective of the Casino Floodplain Risk Management Study is to provide information that will lead to the formulation of a Floodplain Risk Management Plan for Casino. The largest tributary is Eden Creek, which starts on the Richmond Range on the western edge of the catchment and flows in a south-easterly direction joining the Richmond River 26km upstream of Casino. The catchment, which drains an area of approximately 1,800 square kilometres to Casino, is characterised by forests in the steeper upper areas and pastures in the remainder. Idlewild and Wingfield Parks flood up to 10 feet. Casinos, hotels, stores, post office, courthouse, phone building, bus depot, churches, museums and parks flood. Choose from King, Double Queen rooms, as well as Deluxe King rooms with garden tubs. Downtown Reno floods from approximately 2nd Street on the north side of the river to Court/Mill streets on the south. Sleek, modern room design with luxury fittings and a laid-back boutique vibe await your overnight pleasure.

Downstream of Coraki, the Richmond River flows through the towns of Woodburn, Broadwater and Wardell before discharging into the Pacific Ocean at Ballina. The 100-room Riverwind Hotel reflects the beauty of our gaming environment but takes the energy level down a relaxing few notches. The river flows in a general north-south direction from its source in the McPherson Ranges on the Queensland-New South Wales border and passes through Casino before reaching its confluence with Wilsons River at Coraki. The township of Casino is located on the banks of the Richmond River, one of the largest coastal rivers in northern New South Wales.
