Casino floor hours
At 10 AM each morning, the gaming floor opens, whatever the day. Sunday to Thursday, closing comes at 1 AM; Friday and Saturday, it comes at 2 AM. A 1 AM close on Sunday night falls in the early hours of Monday morning. Each night works the same way: the doors shut after midnight, on the next calendar day.
These hours cover the building and its over 400 slot machines, which take bets starting from one cent per pull. Every time given here is Pacific time, used in British Columbia all year at UTC-7.

Live tables and the Action Arena
A live table has a real dealer who runs the game at the table. Monday to Thursday, the dealers start live games at 4 PM and stop at midnight. Friday and Saturday hours are longer: live play starts at 11 AM and ends at 2 AM. Sunday hours are 11 AM to midnight. The four live games are Kings Bounty Blackjack, Free Bet Blackjack, RUYI Baccarat and Ultimate Texas Hold'em.
The Action Arena is the area for electronic tables, where the game is played on a screen. It opens at noon every day. Its games are $1 Roulette, $2 Blackjack and $5 Baccarat. The casino does not post a closing time for the Action Arena, so this guide gives none.
Poker room and pub hours
Poker runs on its own schedule. From Monday to Thursday, the poker room is open 5 PM to midnight. On Friday and Saturday, the room is open from noon until 2 AM. On Sunday, poker runs from noon to midnight.
The Well Public House is the casino's pub, serving pub fare from breakfast to late night. Every day, the pub opens at 10 AM. It closes at midnight Monday to Thursday and on Sunday. Friday and Saturday hours run to 2 AM, when the floor also closes.
