Hours

Opening hours

Casino of the Rockies opens at 11 am every day of the week. From Sunday to Thursday the doors close at 11 pm. On Friday and Saturday the floor stays open until 1 am. The resort and casino are open year-round.

All times are local Mountain time, the same clock as Alberta. That puts Cranbrook one hour ahead of most of British Columbia. The same applies to every time on this page. Holiday hours are not published separately, so check them on casinooftherockies.ca before planning a holiday visit.

    The floor

    On the gaming floor

    Live table games are no longer offered here. The tables are electronic. The 19,000-square-foot room holds 210 slot machines, a count that includes E-Roulette, E-Baccarat and E-Blackjack, along with four choices of table games. Since the 2019 renovation, its design shows flora and fauna native to the surrounding mountains and foothills.

    Quartz electronic table terminals are part of the mix. One terminal runs up to eight games, among them Baccarat, Roulette and Sic Bo, on a 26.5-inch HD touch screen. A player can move between games without leaving the seat.

    The floor also has a full-service lottery centre. The casino also has a pool table, which needs no screen at all.

    Sportsbook lounge

    The sportsbook lounge

    The PROLINE Sportsbook Lounge sits inside Kiʔsuʔk k̓ikiⱡ, the casino's restaurant and bar, on the dining area raised above the gaming floor. An 18-foot screen shows up to six games at once. Bets go through three PROLINE betting terminals. The casino calls it the first lounge of its kind in the region.

    Live music and other events are held in the restaurant as well. The monthly calendar is posted on the casino's own events page at casinooftherockies.ca.
