Getting in
Gambling in Alberta is for adults. The legal age is 18, and minors are not permitted in a casino facility unless its licence allows them. Under provincial casino rules, staff check government-issued photo ID whenever someone appears to be under 25.
A valid photo ID is needed, for example a passport or driver's licence.
On the floor
The floor has slot machines and live table games. This guide leaves out machine and table counts, because the published figures disagree.
The poker room is described on the casino's own site in more detail:
- Open 24/7, with Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Pineapple and other games
- Nine-handed tables and Shuffle Master machines
- 11 HD televisions
- Free coffee and soft drink stations
For a mid-morning or lunch visit, the poker room is the one part of the floor whose hours are confirmed around the clock.
Winner's Edge is AGLC's province-wide player rewards program for casinos throughout Alberta. Membership costs nothing, and sign-up works online, through a kiosk or with Guest Services. Members collect the card at Guest Services by showing government ID.
Food and extras
