With 852 slot machines and 10 virtual lottery terminals you’re well covered for electronic gaming and there are also 27 tables for traditional games. The table games include blackjack (with 13 tables available), craps, two variants of baccarat, roulette, as well as pai gow with the original tiles.

The casino previously had an eight-table 24 hour poker room, but as of April 2014 it is closed for renovation. A modern poker area is being fashioned to accommodate high limit table games. Renovations began in May and the poker facility opened in late 2014, offering an excellent high stakes poker room as good as any in Canada.

For dining you have a choice of two in-house restaurants at Casino Calgary. The Gambler’s Grill is a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine, cooking up daily specials from 9.30am to 11pm everyday of the year (except Christmas day). The recently opened Sushi Dragon is something completely different, featuring the best of Japanese cuisine with a variety of rolls, tempura and sashimi.

The casino also houses two bars, Bar 9 which is situated adjacent to the video lottery terminals and is a favourite of sports fans wanting to catch the game over a drink and Cherries Bar. Cherries features a massive granite bar and describes itself as an ideal meeting place. Note that you are also welcome to order food from the Gambler’s Grill and eat it there if you prefer the atmosphere.

There are plenty of great accommodation options in the area such as Staybridge Suites, the Holiday Inn and Days Inn. Calgary itself has a lot on offer and downtown’s just a short taxi ride away, meaning you can easily check out the botanical gardens or the city zoo. The Rocky Mountains are also ever present, looming over the city and weather permitting could be worth a visit while you’re in the area.
