Century Casino St. Albert was the Apex Casino until October 2016, when Century Casinos bought it for $12.3 million and put its own name on the building. Locals still call it the Apex.
It sits on Boudreau Road in St. Albert, immediately northwest of Edmonton, and holds a 4.1 rating from nearly 1,500 Google reviewers — the highest score of the three Century properties in the Edmonton area.
The floor
More than 250 slot machines, plus VLTs, live table games, and a notable investment in electronic table games.
The e-tables are the distinguishing feature. Century has leaned on them here more than at its other Alberta properties, and they fill the gap a floor this size would otherwise have: you can play roulette or blackjack at a low stake without needing a full pit to justify a dealer.
If you want a live dealer specifically, the pit here is small and the Edmonton rooms fifteen minutes away are deeper. If you are happy on a terminal, this is a well-equipped floor for its footprint.
Eating and drinking
Mid City Grill handles the restaurant side and Celly's Sports Bar & Lounge the drinking and game-watching. Celly's is the same brand Century runs at Century Downs near Calgary, and it does the job on an Oilers night.
Hours
9:30am to 3:00am Sunday through Thursday, extending to 4:00am Friday and Saturday — the standard Century schedule across its Alberta rooms.
Getting there
24 Boudreau Road, St. Albert, with free parking. That is about 20 minutes from downtown Edmonton and considerably less from the city's north and northwest.
The practical question is whether you drive past it. Pure Casino Yellowhead sits between St. Albert and central Edmonton with a much deeper pit, so for anyone coming from the city this room mainly makes sense if St. Albert is the destination rather than a waypoint.
The Century group in Alberta
Century Casinos runs four Alberta properties: this one, Century Casino Edmonton on Fort Road, Century Downs near Calgary and Century Mile by Edmonton International Airport.
St. Albert is the smallest of the four and the only one without either a racetrack or a hotel attached.
How Alberta casinos work
Non-profits licensed by AGLC conduct the casino events here as they do across the province, assigned by casino region. St. Albert's region covers a prosperous, well-organised community, and the charity roster working this floor reflects that — sports associations and service clubs rather than the broader mix an inner-city facility draws.
Worth it?
For St. Albert and Edmonton's northwest, yes. It is close, free to park at, comfortable, and the e-table selection means you are not limited to reels.
For anyone else, no. Two hundred and fifty machines and a small pit is the lightest offering of any Century property in Alberta, and Yellowhead or Starlight beat it on every measure that matters for a planned night out.
