Live table hours at Edmonton casinos

At six casinos around Edmonton, live tables keep shorter hours than the slots. Check the table hours before you head out, not at the door.

Tables open later than slots

Grand Villa, Starlight, River Cree and both PURE casinos keep separate hours for live table games. All five stop dealing at 3 a.m.

PURE Edmonton24 hours10 a.m. to 3 a.m.
PURE Yellowhead24 hours10 a.m. to 3 a.m.
Starlight24 hours11 a.m. to 3 a.m.
River Cree24 hours11 a.m. to 3 a.m.

That means PURE, Starlight and River Cree suit a midday game, while the tables at Grand Villa open at 2 p.m. Before a holiday trip, confirm hours on the casino's own website, since they may change.

The other three casinos

  • Century Edmonton: open 9:30 a.m. to 4 a.m. from Monday to Thursday, and 24 hours from Friday to Sunday.
  • Century St. Albert: doors open at 9:30 a.m. and close at 3 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, with later hours until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Sunday to Thursday, live table games go from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m.; on Friday and Saturday, they play from 12 p.m. to 3 a.m. It had 10 tables at the end of 2025.
  • Century Mile: no live dealers. Its roulette, baccarat and blackjack are electronic, in a room called the Replay Arena.

Century Edmonton publishes no separate table hours, so its hours above are casino hours, not table hours. Counting on a live table late at night? Phone first: Century Edmonton at 780-643-4000, Century St. Albert at 780-460-8092.

Century Mile holds a racing entertainment centre licence, not a casino licence. Its 2021 request to add live tables was turned down.
