Casino of the Rockies in Cranbrook

Where it is

Casino of the Rockies is at the St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino, 7777 Mission Rd, Cranbrook. It is a casino, and it opened in 2002. St. Eugene Mission Holdings, owned by four Ktunaxa communities and the Kenpesq't (Shuswap Indian Band), owns the resort and its casino. Measured in straight lines, not by road, it sits 533 km from Vancouver, 267 km from Kelowna and 680 km from Prince George. Chances Castlegar is 139.6 km away on the same kind of line.

Cranbrook stays aligned with Alberta on Mountain time all year, one hour ahead of the rest of BC. Every hour on this page is local Mountain time. Chances Castlegar, in the West Kootenay, keeps Pacific time.

Hours and floor

The casino is open all year. In local Mountain time, the doors are open from 11 AM to 11 PM Sunday to Thursday, and from 11 AM to 1 AM on Friday and Saturday. Holiday hours are not covered on this page; before a holiday trip, check the venue's own site.

Live table games are no longer available. The floor holds 210 machines, including electronic roulette, baccarat and blackjack, and this guide lists no poker room. A PROLINE Sportsbook Lounge with an 18-foot screen was the first in the East Kootenays.

The room itself covers 19,000 square feet, with a nature-based design honouring the Ktunaxa Nation.
