Where and when
The street address for ACE Casino Blackfoot, 4040 Blackfoot Trail SE, Calgary, AB T2G 4E6, matches the one on the casino's current official site. An older ACE page gives 1010 42 Ave SE for the same property, so either address may appear in a map search.
The venue describes itself as "Alberta's longest living casino." Its published hours are:
| Days | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday to Thursday | 9 a.m. to 3 a.m. |
| Weekend | Open 24 hours, from Friday 9 a.m. until Sunday 3 a.m. |
For a weekday morning visit, 9:30 a.m. is the safer arrival time; the exact morning opening is worth checking with the casino. Sunday hours after the overnight weekend run ends, and separate hours for live table games, are best confirmed on the casino's own site before you set out.
Getting in
Entry is for adults only. Alberta sets the minimum age for gambling at 18. When a guest seems younger than 25, AGLC rules oblige casino staff to look at valid photo ID from a government. Staff refuse entry to anyone who cannot show they are 18 or older.
Carry valid photo ID, for example a passport or a driver's licence.
On the floor
The casino's own pages describe:
- a slot floor with video lottery terminals
- live table games
- electronic table games played on private terminals with a realistic dealer
Machine counts differ across the venue's own pages, so this note leaves them out.
A poker room is not confirmed. The 24-hour poker room listed on the wider ACE site appears to belong to the sister property near the airport. See the ACE Casino Airport note for that venue.
Winner's Edge is AGLC's player rewards program for casinos throughout Alberta.
- Membership is free; enrolment happens online, at a kiosk or with Guest Services.
- The card is collected at Guest Services on presentation of government ID.
- Points are earned on slot machines and electronic table games.
- Members receive 10 per cent off select food and non-alcoholic drinks.
- Anyone enrolled in self-exclusion is ineligible.
A separate ACE club website exists, but its program details were not confirmed.
Food and extras
- The Kitchen, a quick-service casual restaurant, open daily from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.
- Center Bar, with sports on TV, open daily from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Because The Kitchen opens with the doors, a breakfast or early lunch fits easily into a weekday morning visit.
Getting there
By car, visitors will find parking available on site. Whether it is free is not stated.
Without a car, the casino is easily accessible by public transit, though no stop, station or route is named. Calgary Transit's station and route maps are the place to plan the trip.
For general notes on reaching the city's casinos by train and bus, see Without a car.
Before you go
Alberta law bans smoking and vaping in enclosed public places and workplaces, and within 5 metres of doorways, opening windows and air intakes. The venue has not published a patio or smoking-area policy.
It helps to set a time and spending limit before arriving, and to keep to it. Every casino in Alberta keeps a GameSense Info Centre covering games and odds; further notes are at gamesenseab.ca.
If gambling stops feeling like entertainment, support is free and confidential:
- 211 Alberta, by call or text: 211
- Addiction Helpline (Recovery Alberta), 24/7 and toll-free: 1-866-332-2322
AGLC's self-exclusion program is available at selfexclusion.ca. More is on Play safe, and early-day timings for other venues are on Morning hours.
