Guests and employees were evacuated from the casino and no one was injured, the spokesman said.
“We are grateful that all guests and team members safely evacuated the casino and no one was hurt,” the casino said in a statement. “We thank the Des Plaines Fire Department for their quick work and for working with Rivers and the Illinois Gaming Board on our reopen plan.”
The casino reopened Monday morning.
