And I am so appreciative of the cozy fireplace and Starbucks at the main entrance. The staff are super friendly and welcoming.
I do find the common areas very cold. I wish someone would turn down the air conditioning or fans.

The complex sits at 4331 Dominion Street, Burnaby, BC V5G 1C7, near the junction of Willingdon Avenue and Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway).

How to Reach the Venue
The location is reachable by private vehicle, public transit, taxi, or ride-share, with drop-off available directly at the main entrance.
Arriving by Car
Drivers approaching from either direction along Highway 1 should take the Willingdon Avenue exit, then follow signage toward Dominion Street. The attached parkade provides covered parking at no charge across multiple levels, and the structure includes electric-vehicle charging stations. Travel time from downtown Vancouver is approximately 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
Arriving by Public Transit
The nearest SkyTrain stations connect Burnaby to central Vancouver, with the closest stop located within a short walk or a five-minute transit segment. The nearest bus stop sits roughly six minutes away on foot. To use transit, riders should plan routes through TransLink to a connecting station, then proceed to Dominion Street on foot or by local bus.
Accessing the Gaming Floor
Once inside, guests can move directly to the gaming sections, which are arranged across two levels and divided into slots, table games, and electronic terminals.
The principal gaming categories include:
- Slot machines: more than 1,200 reel and video units with denominations from CAD 0.01 to CAD 1.00, including progressive jackpot titles such as Buffalo Grand and Wheel of Fortune.
- Table games: 64 tables covering blackjack, baccarat, roulette, and casino poker variants (3-Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Pai Gow).
- Electronic gaming arena: dozens of terminals linked to live dealer tables for roulette, baccarat, and blackjack.
To begin play, guests select a machine or table, exchange cash at the cage or an on-floor ATM, and request chips from the dealer for table games. Beverage servers circulate throughout the floor, so players do not need to leave a station to order.
Table Games
Table minimums vary by game and time of day, with weekday afternoons generally offering lower-traffic conditions for new players. Dealers manage chip handling, and signage at each table states the applicable minimum and maximum bets.
Slots and Electronic Gaming
Penny slots and high-limit units occupy distinct zones, allowing players to match a machine to a defined budget. The electronic arena suits guests who prefer table outcomes without a dealer interface, since each terminal mirrors a live game feed.
Poker Room and Cash Game Access
The Poker Room occupies the upper level and operates 11 dedicated tables (some materials list 12) offering No-Limit Texas Hold’em and Omaha High. In-room food and beverage service is provided, and a large projection screen displays major broadcasts. To reserve a seat, players call the poker line at 604-453-0858 ahead of arrival or add their name to the live waitlist on site.
Cash Game | Stakes (CAD) |
No-Limit Hold’em | 1/3, 2/5, 5/10 |
Pot-Limit Omaha | 2/2, 1/3/5, 5/5 |
Starting blinds | 1/2 entry level |
Promotions | High-hand progressive, bad-beat jackpot |
Weekday perk | Complimentary breakfast sandwich (1+ hour play, 6am–11am) |
VIP Gaming Rooms
High-limit players can request access to three private salons, each defined by distinct table offerings and floor placement.
The VIP rooms are configured as follows:
- Cypress Room (Level 3): Squeeze Baccarat and Blackjack, with private and semi-private tables.
- Lions Room (Level 2): High-limit Baccarat and Blackjack, with North Shore mountain views.
- Maple Room (Level 3): dedicated hosts, a private bar area, and favoured slot machines.
Entry to these salons typically requires meeting elevated minimum stakes, and guests should ask a floor supervisor or VIP host to arrange access and seating.
