Of course, it's a casino, so don't expect to make money. I recently learned that a First Nations group purchased this place (?), so it's nice to know the profits aren't just going to some corporate entity. If you are in the mood for slots or poker and are in Prince George, would recommend giving the place a try.

Reaching the Venue and Visiting Hours
Daily Hours in Pacific Time
The venue opens seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 2:00 AM (Pacific Time), closing only on Christmas Day. Table games and poker follow separate schedules listed below. The guest services desk, left of the entrance doors, handles arrival questions.
Highway Access and Address
The property marks the Highway 97 South and Highway 16 junction, about 10 minutes by car from Prince George Airport (YXS). Free on-site parking is available. Local transit, taxis, and ride-share connect the venue to the city centre, and the attached hotel offers an airport shuttle on request.
How to Play the Slot Machines
The floor runs over 500 slot machines, including 3-reel classics, multi-line video slots, and progressive units linked to province-wide jackpots (Powerbucks). Denominations start at $0.01 and pass $1.00 per spin, and each machine uses a ticket-in, ticket-out (TITO) system. Players follow this sequence:
- Insert cash or a printed TITO ticket into the bill acceptor.
- Select line count and bet size using the on-screen buttons.
- Press spin for each round.
- Press cash-out to print a ticket showing the balance.
- Insert that ticket into another machine, or redeem it at a Ticket Express kiosk for banknotes.
Slot attendants on the floor pay jackpots, exchange bills, and reset machines. Players needing help can signal an attendant or visit guest services near the entrance.
Joining the Table Games
Table games run Monday to Thursday from 4:15 PM to 2:00 AM and Friday to Sunday from 11:15 AM to 2:00 AM (Pacific Time). Tables open by demand; players submit requests to the pit boss up to 15 minutes before a scheduled opening. The lineup includes Blackjack, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Four Card Poker, Fast Action Hold’em, and electronic roulette ($1.00–$100.00 per bet).
Game | Format | Limits |
Blackjack (low limit) | 6 decks, dealer-handled cards | $4.00–$100.00 per hand |
Blackjack ($5 table) | 6 decks | $5.00–$400.00 per hand |
King’s Bounty side bet | first two cards total 20 | $1.00–$5.00 |
Electronic Roulette | digital terminal | $1.00–$100.00 per bet |
Fast Action Hold’em | 6 decks, continuous shuffle | optional bonus wager |
Reserving a Poker Seat
The poker room spreads $1–$2 No Limit Hold’em. Monday to Thursday the main table opens at 4:30 PM and the feeder at 5:30 PM, with call-in reservations from 4:00 PM. Friday to Sunday the main table opens at 1:00 PM and the feeder at 2:00 PM, with reservations from 11:00 AM. Players reserve a seat by phoning 250-614-9127.
Blackjack Limits and Procedure
Blackjack is dealt from a six-deck shoe, and only the dealer touches the cards. The aim is to reach 21, or finish closer to 21 than the dealer without busting. Players may add the King’s Bounty bonus bet ($1.00–$5.00), which pays when the first two cards total 20.
Bingo Sessions and Virtual Bingo Across BC
The hall offers 600+ electronic terminals alongside paper cards. Sessions run daily at 11:00 AM, 2:30 PM (Learn to Play), 6:00 PM, and 10:00 PM. To join, players enter the main doors, turn left, and reach bingo staff at 250-561-0444 for details.
Purchasing Virtual Bingo Cards
British Columbia residents aged 19 or older can play Virtual Bingo from anywhere in the province. Cards are bought in person or ordered online and delivered by Canada Post for $11.95. Under BCLC rules, the operator verifies age (19+), residency, and location to confirm play occurs within BC before any prize is paid.

Responsible Gaming Resources in British Columbia
The venue operates within the BCLC and GameSense framework, which supplies tools to keep play as paid entertainment. Players in British Columbia can apply several controls during a visit:
- Set a fixed CAD spend limit before entering.
- Bring only the cash designated for play.
- Schedule breaks rather than playing until funds run out.
- Treat points and promotions as a rebate, not a strategy.
- Ask guest services about GameSense and self-exclusion if play stops being recreational.
Privacy questions reach the Privacy Officer at (250) 561-2421 or [email protected].
