About Harrah’s Joliet

Harrah’s Joliet is an Illinois-licensed commercial casino at 151 North Joliet Street in Joliet, Illinois, operated by Caesars Entertainment under a real estate structure involving Vici Properties (80%) and John Q. Hammons (20%). The property opened in 1993 and runs 1,135 slot machines, 26 table games, and an 8-table poker room with restaurant, self-parking, and valet on site. The Caesars Rewards loyalty program connects to the full Caesars national network. The minimum gambling age is 21, regulated by the Illinois Gaming Board. Website: caesars.com/harrahs-joliet.

Joliet is in Will County approximately 30 miles southwest of downtown Chicago via I-55 and I-80. The North Joliet Street address is on the Des Plaines River waterfront in downtown Joliet — the same river corridor that previously hosted the Illinois and Michigan Canal, which historically connected the Great Lakes to the Illinois River and Mississippi River systems. Joliet’s gaming history is notable for hosting two licensed casinos simultaneously — Harrah’s Joliet and Hollywood Casino Joliet — both licensed separately under the Illinois Riverboat Gambling Act and operating within the same city.

Vici Properties is a casino real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns the physical real estate at many Caesars Entertainment properties; Caesars operates under a master lease agreement. The John Q. Hammons interest reflects a historical investment arrangement from the property’s original financing structure.

Table Games

Harrah’s Joliet runs 26 table game positions including 21+3, 3 Card Poker, Blackjack, Craps, Four Card Poker, Let It Ride, Mini-Baccarat, Mississippi Stud, Roulette, Texas Hold’em Bonus, and Video Poker, alongside 1,135 slot machines.

Four Card Poker is a game in which players receive six cards and arrange their best four-card hand to compete against the dealer’s four-card hand — players can also bet on achieving specific four-card hand rankings regardless of the dealer’s result. Texas Hold’em Bonus is a heads-up Hold’em variant paying a bonus on premium holdings (trip aces and above) regardless of the dealer’s hand. Let It Ride is a five-card poker game where players make three bets and then decide to “let ride” or withdraw bets as community cards are revealed, paying on pairs of tens or better.

Poker Room

Harrah’s Joliet’s 8-table poker room spreads Limit Hold’em, NL Hold’em, and Omaha cash games. The Omaha spread alongside Hold’em gives the room multi-format depth for the Joliet and south suburban Chicago market. Confirm current stakes at caesars.com/harrahs-joliet.

Caesars Rewards

Harrah’s Joliet participates in the Caesars Rewards loyalty program — the same program used at all Caesars/Harrah’s properties nationally. Members earn reward credits through gaming play, redeemable at this property and at Caesars-operated casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and across the national Caesars portfolio.

Caesars' Joliet casino since 1993 — Omaha in the poker room, Four Card Poker, and Caesars Rewards in Will County

Harrah's Joliet and Hollywood Casino Joliet are two separately licensed Illinois casinos in the same Des Plaines River corridor — Harrah's opened in 1993 under the original riverboat licensing, Hollywood in 2010. The poker room's Omaha spread and the Caesars Rewards cross-redemption (applicable at Las Vegas properties) are the primary differentiators vs the Penn Entertainment alternative down the river. Confirm current hours and poker room stakes at caesars.com/harrahs-joliet.
