Where and when
The street address of PURE Casino Calgary is 1420 Meridian Rd NE, Calgary, AB T2A 2N9. The venue's contact page lists the phone number as (403) 248-9467.
There is no morning opening time here. The contact page gives round-the-clock hours for both the slots and the poker room, on every day of the week. Some older listings still show a 9:30 AM opening, but these appear to be out of date.
Live table games keep set hours:
| Area | Days | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Slots | Daily | 24 hours |
| Poker room | Daily | 24 hours |
| Table games | Monday to Friday | 12 PM to 3 AM |
| Table games | Saturday and Sunday | 10 AM to 3 AM |
On a weekday morning, the slots and the poker room are open, Meridian Central Restaurant opens at 9:30 AM, and the live tables start at noon. On weekends the tables open two hours earlier. The venue does not publish holiday hours, so phone ahead around statutory holidays. More on early visits is in Morning hours.
Getting in
Gambling in Alberta is for adults 18 and older, and people under 18 are not permitted inside a casino facility. AGLC's casino rules oblige staff to see valid government-issued photo ID from every visitor who seems under 25. It is simplest to carry a driver's licence, passport or government ID card on every visit.
The venue does not publish a dress code. Very large cash transactions also require ID under provincial rules. That rarely affects a short daytime visit, but it is worth knowing.
On the floor
The floor holds 852 slot machines and 30 live table games. Electronic table games have their own section on the casino's website.
There are 10 tables in the poker room, and it stays open 24 hours. The site describes it as open to any limit or buy-in and offers a poker room menu, so players can eat at the table.
The casino offers two loyalty programs, both described on its player programs page:
- PURE Rewards is the casino's own program. Among other benefits, members get a food and drink discount that does not apply to alcohol.
- Winner's Edge is AGLC's province-wide program. Membership is free; sign-up happens at a kiosk, at Guest Services or online. The card is handed over at Guest Services once government ID is shown; inserting it in slots or electronic table games earns points. Details are on winnersedge.ca.
Food and extras
The dining page lists:
- Meridian Central Restaurant: a restaurant and sports bar, open Monday to Sunday 9:30 AM to 1:00 AM, with a late-night menu and chef's specials.
- Meridian Bar: Friday and Saturday, 24 hours; Sunday to Thursday, 9 AM to 5 AM.
- Poker room menu: a regular menu and a late-night menu, served in the poker room.
For a weekday lunch visit, the restaurant is already open by mid-morning, and the tables start at noon. Seasonal dining listings change through the year, so check the dining page before you go.
The entertainment venue is called Meridian Central Station. The official site links to it from its Entertainment section.
Getting there
The casino is in northeast Calgary, off Meridian Road NE. The venue's own site does not give parking details such as cost or accessible stalls. Phone the casino if those matter for your visit.
This guide has no confirmed transit directions to the casino. To plan a trip without a car, use Calgary Transit's station and route maps with the street address. The guide's Without a car page has general notes.
The venue does not publish an accessibility statement. If step-free access or seating is a concern, phone ahead.
Before you go
- Bring government-issued photo ID.
- Check the table-game hours if you want a live table. Weekday tables open at noon.
- Phone ahead about holiday hours, parking and accessibility.
- Decide on a time and money limit before you arrive, and keep to it.
