The casino has the best off-track betting facilities for horse racing in all of Calgary, screening more races than anywhere else and offering full TAB service. There’s also a 24/7 dedicated poker room which specialises in 4-8 and 20-40 Texas hold ‘em, but other variants are available upon request. The casino also runs a Jackpot Hands promotion where it pays out cash rewards for hitting certain hands during a given week.

With over 600 slot machines the casino has VLT’s, penny machines and both in-house and Alberta-wide progressives of multiple denominations. All the regular table games are available such as blackjack, craps, roulette and poker, as well as access to a high limit baccarat room where you can now also play pai gow.

There are four in-house eateries at Elbow River to cater for all tastes and appetites. Sammy’s Sports Bar serves a range of hot meals and snacks such as nachos, ribs and chicken wings and you can eat them whilst watching the latest big sporting event on one of nine HDTVs or one of two HD projectors. The Jester’s Deli is the perfect place to grab a snack whilst gaming, with staples such as pizza, fried chicken and simply sandwiches all available.

If you’re looking for something more substantial, the Jester’s Buffet or Dim Sum are probably better bets. The Jester’s Buffet has a featured special of steak and lobster and Dim Sum serves authentic Chinese food.
