Casinos along the way from Enoch

How this list reads

The starting point is River Cree Resort & Casino on Enoch Cree Nation, just west of the city. Each stop below gets one line and its general area. Nothing here is a ranking.

Exact addresses, hours and amenities belong to each casino, and each one publishes its own. For whether a venue is open right now, use the planner on the start page.

The same rules at every stop

• Casino gambling in Alberta is for adults 18 and over. Under AGLC rules, staff check government-issued photo ID for anyone who appears to be under 25.
• Winner's Edge is AGLC's player rewards program. It runs with participating casinos, and the program site says it works at casinos throughout Alberta. Check there for a specific venue. River Cree also runs its own Players Club.
• A GameSense Info Centre is located in each Alberta casino. More information is on gamesenseab.ca.
• AGLC's self-exclusion program can cover all Alberta casinos at once, regulated online sites, or both.

Smoking rules differ. River Cree has a smoke-friendly area called Embers. Other venues publish their own rules.
