Who makes this guide

What the site does

The site answers a practical question: which casino can a reader reach right now? The planner on the home page shows which are open, whether tables are running and how far each is from the reader's part of town.

Around it sit short guides to each casino. Other pages cover common plans: a late night, a first visit, the trip there and back.

The site takes no bets, holds no accounts and handles no payments. Links to the casinos' official sites are not paid.

The home page holds paid links to one online casino partner, each marked Ad. One is a button in the header; the other is a box in the section on playing online. A commission is paid to the site on those links, and the partner filling those spots may be replaced. How we make money explains it.

The eight casinos

Each one has a short guide with its hours, the way there and what is nearby.

• Grand Villa Casino Edmonton, downtown in the ICE District
• PURE Casino Edmonton, on Argyll Road on the southeast side
• Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton, on Fort Road in the northeast
• PURE Casino Yellowhead, just off Yellowhead Trail in the northwest
• Starlight Casino Edmonton, at West Edmonton Mall
• Century Casino St. Albert, in the city of St. Albert
• River Cree Resort & Casino, at Enoch Cree Nation, just west of Edmonton
• Century Mile Racetrack & Casino, south of the city near the airport

Who writes it

Edmonton Casino Guide is the work of the Edmonton Guide desk, which writes and edits every page. Nothing here carries a personal name. The desk checks each fact against the page that published it and dates the check.

The desk works for no casino and no operator. How the desk works, and where to write, is set out on the desk's page.

Photo credits

The photos of the casinos and the city are real photographs under free licences that allow commercial use. Each one carries its author's name. The guide does not take photos from casino websites or from other people's articles.

Any picture without an author credit is generated, not a photograph. The people who appear in those pictures are invented. Some casinos have no freely licensed photo, so their guides show the surrounding area instead. Three of the generated pictures start from real photographs, with the camera angle and time of day changed a little. They show the Century Mile track and apron, the Grand Villa building on 104 Avenue and Century Casino Edmonton's sports bar.
