ACE Casino Red Deer is the gaming floor for Central Alberta, sitting roughly midway between Calgary and Edmonton in the province's third-largest city. It rates 3.9 from just under a thousand Google reviewers.
It is a locals' room rather than a destination resort — no hotel, no spa, no convention wing. What it has instead is a floor that stays open past three in the morning and a table-game spread that is more interesting than the property's size would suggest.
What's on the floor
349 slot machines and 40 VLTs.
The table games are where it gets more interesting. Alongside the standards — blackjack and roulette — ACE runs craps, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, and a set of progressive side-bet games: Blazing 777 Blackjack, Double Down Madness and Chase the Flush. Progressive side bets on table games are relatively uncommon in Alberta outside the Calgary and Edmonton properties, and they are a reasonable reason to choose this floor if you play tables.
There are electronic table games on site as well, which fill in when the live pit is closed.
Note that the property does not run a dedicated poker room. Ultimate Texas Hold'em is a table game played against the house, not a card room game against other players.
Dining
Two rooms: Parlay Sports Lounge for game-day viewing, and Embers Lounge, a casual restaurant running from comfort food through to Asian dishes. Neither is a fine-dining destination and neither pretends to be — this is a floor where the food supports the gaming rather than the other way around.
Tips before you go
You must be 18 to enter a casino in Alberta.
The two sets of hours matter here and they are not the same. The casino floor runs 9am to 3am Sunday through Thursday, and 9am to 4am on Friday and Saturday. Table games open later and close earlier — 2pm to 1am Sunday through Thursday, and 2pm to 3am Friday and Saturday. If you arrive at noon expecting a live pit, you will be playing machines.
Parking is on site and the property is minutes from downtown Red Deer, with public transit access.
