Open now: Kamloops and the Cariboo

Pacific time

Open or closed follows each venue's published hours in local time, and distances are straight lines, not roads.

Kamloops

Cascades Casino Kamloops is at 1555 Versatile Drive, phone 250-372-3336. It opened on August 19, 2015. On Friday and Saturday the casino keeps 10 AM to 2 AM; from Sunday through Thursday it runs from 10 AM until 12 AM. More than 440 slots fill the floor, alongside upward of 8 table games. Live tables run Wednesday to Sunday from 5 PM; closing time is not published.

Its pages differ on the poker room, so this guide gives no poker hours or table count. ATLAS Steak + Fish serves Tuesday to Saturday from 5 PM, alongside MATCH Eatery & Public House and the Summit Bar. The City of Kamloops has received over $43.3 million in host payments since the casino opened.

Chances Kamloops, a community gaming centre, is at 1250 Halston Avenue, phone 250-554-1030. Hours as last published (March 2026): Sunday to Thursday 10 AM to midnight, Friday and Saturday 10 AM to 1:30 AM. It has over 200 slots, from 1 cent to 1 dollar.

The two venues are 6.2 km apart in a straight line. Gateway bought Chances Kamloops on January 14, 2019, and became the sole gaming provider in Kamloops. BCLC's head office is in the city too, at 74 West Seymour Street.

Two parking lots hold more than 70 spaces. BC Transit routes 1, 2 and 3 stop at Kinchant St at Barlow Ave, about 80 m from the hotel.
