The casino at Camrose is built and decorated as an antebellum southern mansion. In central Alberta. It is the most committed piece of themed architecture at any casino in the province, and once you have seen it you will not confuse this room with another.
The 22,000-square-foot floor sits inside a Best Western Plus resort on 48 Avenue, and the combination holds a 4.2 rating from nearly 1,000 Google reviewers — one of the strongest scores in Alberta on a sample that size.
The floor
200 slot machines and 12 gaming tables, covering blackjack, roulette and poker.
Two hundred machines is small. Twelve tables against two hundred machines is not — that ratio is better than almost anything else in the province, and it is the single best argument for driving to Camrose.
Poker tournaments run Thursday through Saturday. That is a fixed, dependable schedule, which makes this a more reliable poker trip than several larger rooms where cash games materialise or do not. Plan around those three nights.
Hours close early, and this catches everyone
- Sunday to Thursday: 11:00am to 11:00pm
- Friday and Saturday: 11:00am to 2:00am
An 11:00pm close five nights a week is the earliest of any casino on our Alberta list, where 3:00am is normal. Combined with an 11:00am opening, the midweek window here is twelve hours. Check the day before you drive.
The resort is a genuine one
113 guest rooms, including jacuzzi suites, plus an indoor pool and waterslide, a salon and spa, a fitness centre, a business centre, and a conference hall that divides into two ballrooms.
Restaurants run to seafood buffets and steaks, and the main stage books concerts and theatre — rock acts through to touring musical productions.
Stay and Play packages bundle a room with $30 in gaming chips, which is the sort of thing a resort does when the hotel, not the floor, is the business.
Getting there
3201 48 Avenue, Camrose, with free parking. That is under an hour southeast of Edmonton and about two and a half hours from Calgary, in the middle of good farmland.
Camrose is a pleasant small city rather than a stop, and the resort works as a weekend base for anyone exploring central Alberta.
How Alberta casinos work
Licensed non-profits conduct the casino events themselves and are assigned to the facility covering their region. Camrose's region takes in a wide spread of rural communities, so the groups working this floor come from further afield than at an urban property — a recurring feature of the Alberta model outside the cities.
Worth it?
For a weekend, yes. The table-to-machine ratio is excellent, the poker tournaments are dependable, the hotel is comfortable and a waterslide makes it workable with family in tow.
For a night's gambling, only if you are close and you check the hours. Two hundred machines closing at 11:00pm on a Wednesday is a short evening, and Century Casino Edmonton is under an hour away with four times the floor and a 4:00am licence.
Come for the weekend and the Thursday tournament. Do not come late.
