Start with the slots
The casino has more than 560 slot machines. Denominations run 1, 2, 5 and 25 cents and $1. That means you can play in small amounts while you get used to how the machines work. Smokers get a separate room on the gaming floor, with machines of its own and a dedicated air-handling system.
Floor hours are Sunday to Wednesday 9 AM to 4 AM, and Thursday to Saturday the floor is open 24 hours. For midnight to 9 AM on Sunday, call the casino first at 306-764-4777. Holiday hours are not posted, so call before a holiday visit.

Slot machines
More than 560 slot machines, in 1, 2, 5 and 25 cent and $1 denominations, plus a separate smoking room with its own machines.
Hours: Sun to Wed 9 AM to 4 AM; Thu to Sat 24 hours.
The evening tables
Every day, live table games run between 6 PM and 2 AM. The lineup is brief: Blackjack in two versions, along with Crazy 4 Poker and Texas Hold'em. Anyone whose only game is Blackjack will be covered. No live table games operate before 6 PM, although poker can begin earlier.
Poker keeps its own clock. Monday to Friday it runs 5 PM to 2 AM, and Saturday and Sunday it runs 3 PM to 2 AM. The casino does not publish how many tables there are, the table minimums or the poker stakes. To ask before you drive in, call 306-764-4777.
Games you will not find
The casino's live table list names four games, and roulette, baccarat and craps are not among them. Nor does the casino publish bingo, keno or a sportsbook, so a visit is best not planned around those. Online gambling is a different matter. The only legal site in Saskatchewan is PlayNow.com, run by SIGA and open to players 19 and older; competing sites are labelled "illegal platforms" by the Government of Saskatchewan.
Questions first-timers ask
Can I play slots for a cent?

Is there a table game a beginner could learn?
Two versions of Blackjack run from 6 PM to 2 AM daily, along with Texas Hold'em and Crazy 4 Poker. Pick the one you have read about and watch a few hands before you sit down.
What time is Saturday poker?
On Saturday and Sunday, poker runs from 3 PM to 2 AM. Monday to Friday it starts at 5 PM.
Can I play away from smoke?
Smoking has its own room on the gaming floor, with its own machines and its own air-handling system. For anything more specific, call 306-764-4777.
