Find a Calgary casino

Find Calgary casino and other entertainment.

Calgary currently has eight casinos in close range, as listed and mapped below. Is it common for a new Calgary casino to enter the southern Alberta market every now and then? Since the last decade has seen a great deal of change, the recent trend has been as much about enhancing existing casinos as introducing new ones. Casinos have undergone ownership changes and rebranding in order to improve their customer service and offerings to their customers.

The province's economy just seems to keep on expanding from time to time. With those periods of rapid expansion come more opportunities for quality entertainment.

A couple of entries come from the nearby First Nations people on their own property, right adjacent to the city boundary.   And it's worth seeing, as it keeps growing, adding a major music venue and hotel to the complex in more recent years.

That entertainment thus includes gambling and sports as well as live music. You may see these bands or the others performing at Calgary casinos, or elsewhere, at any given time.

The east part of Calgary, near Deerfoot trail seems to be a popular area for these establishments, and so is the Stampede area.

Places to play games, eat, and have fun

Check out these houses of thrill repute:

1. 218 - 18 Ave SE, Calgary Elbow River Casino, Elbow River Casino features Yuk-Yuks comedy, Sammy's sports bar, slot machines, table games 🎲, poker room, and dining options. Parking is tight, but you can find free drinks and unique decor.  Also, it's close to Stampede and Flames games.
2. 3777 Grey Eagle Drive, Grey Eagle Resort and Casino, has three food outlets, lounge, bingo, hotel, slot machines, table games, poker, dining, hotel amenities Grey Eagle Resort's pan-Asian buffet offers a wide selection of sushi and Asian dishes in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly service and good value. You can smoke indoors as you watch the band play on the roof of the bar. It's a great conference venue with spacious rooms, amazing Indigenous art, friendly staff, and prompt IT support. Overall, have a good time at the casino.
3. 421 - 12 Avenue SE Cowboys Casino with Cowboys Dance Hall and Zen 8 Grill, Slot machines 🎰, table games, poker room, bars, and entertainment. A small casino with limited offerings, but Bret Hart's bar is worth a visit. You can meet Bret Hart if you're lucky! Amazing memorabilia! Though some visitors complained (on yelp) of poor management, rude staff, and aggressive doorman, i.e., it might not be for people over 23. 
4. 4040 Blackfoot Trail SE ACE Casino Blackfoot (formerly Cash Casino) - Cheap breakfast, lots of slot machines, table games, and dining options. With the recent rebranding, Cash Casino is committed to enhancing customer experiences and modernizing its offering. Great value buffet at Cash Casino with fresh, tasty food and friendly service. One comment on yelp indicated that it's like an old Vegas buffet. 🍽️ Themed medieval casino with tricky parking, clean but dim interior, and better drink service after happy hour. 
5. Located at 1420 Meridian Rd NE, Pure Casino Calgary has a nice food court, an entertainment room, over 850 slot machines, table games, and dining options. It's great for gambling fans! But, "I had a terrible experience at Pure Casino Calgary: rude security, poor customer service, and unfair blackjack. Don't go here."  Maybe yelp reviewers don't like casinos.
6. 11500 - 35 St SE #1000, Deerfoot Inn and Casino, featuring wild Horse pub and Mohave Grill, Hotel and Convention Centre, Slot machines, table games, poker, dining, hotel amenities. Deerfoot Inn & Casino has friendly staff, free coffee, a mix of slots and tables, live bands, and good food at Mohave Grill. Also, quick check-in, but noisy in the hotel this one time because of kids' lacrosse tournament. The staff at this Calgary casino are also helpful, but the security is lacking. One person didn't like Chrome Showroom for concerts. 🎶
7. The ACE Casino Airport is located at 40 Aero Crescent NE. There are slot machines, table games, and dining here!! "Great value dining with delicious daily specials and amazing desserts!" 🍰 "Impressive new casino near the airport with great food, ample amenities, and excellent value!" 
8. At 260 Century Downs Drive, Rocky View County, AB,  Century Downs Racetrack and Casino Small casino near CrossIron Mall, you'll find slot machines, table games, a racetrack (horse racing),  "Delicious prime rib dinner and lucky slot winnings at The Derby inside Century Downs Casino!" and finally "Great atmosphere and service, but mediocre front desk staff!" in one visitor's experience 😞
9. 1010 - 42 Avenue SE Calgary, AB (former) ACE Casino Blackfoot had over 637 slot machines, VLTs, and table games like Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, and Ultimate Texas Hold'em. The casino also offered a VIP slot room, high-limit table games, and a variety of dining options at The Kitchen and Center Bar, however "Worst casino experience: rude staff, poor security, and terrible payouts." There was however a $10 prime rib at this casino that used to be called Frank Sissons and Century Casino. At this site, there's now a roller rink and bowling alley instead.
10. 888 Nakoda Way, Kananaskis, AB Stoney Nakoda Resort & Casino offers luxury rooms, diverse gaming, and exceptional dining in the beautiful Alberta Rockies less than an hour west of Calgary. 

Night in the city

Slot machines, table games, poker, dining, hotel amenities, but someone once reported "Unsettling stay with dead bugs on the pillow and delayed restaurant opening, though staff were apologetic and soft spoken." 😟 "Mixed stay: great casino and restaurant staff, but room issues and front desk service needed improvement." 😕

Caution: The visitor comments above might not be too reliable.  For quick locations though, see the numbers on the map below.
