What’s Running on the Floor
Casino Regina operates inside the former Union Station at 1880 Saskatchewan Drive, a rail building dating back to 1912. That old-station layout shapes the whole casino. It feels different from walking into a modern glass-and-steel box, and sessions on the floor tend to reflect that.
On the main gaming floor, players find a core lineup of more than 20 staffed tables running live dealer games. At busier times, and depending on staffing, outside reports often place the total closer to 30 active tables. The exact number moves up and down. Around the pit areas, 54 touch-bet terminals sit in clusters for anyone who prefers a semi-digital format instead of a full live table or a pure slot.
Confirmed live dealer titles that run during the day include Single Zero Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Three Card Poker, Chase the Flush, Craps, plus several Texas Hold’em-related table variants. Every game has a live dealer in the box and its own posted minimums. Lower-limit spots are available for lighter bankrolls, while higher-limit positions are set aside for players who want more on the felt each hand.
The heritage setting is not just decoration in the background. The station footprint, ceiling height, sight lines, even how sound carries across the floor - it all differs from a purpose-built casino hall. For anyone used to newer properties, the contrast is quite obvious once you sit down at a live game.
Hours and Getting In
The table games schedule is fairly straightforward. On Fridays and Saturdays, the gaming floor operates right through, without closing. That continuous run carries over both nights. For the rest of the week, hours tighten a bit, with an overnight shutdown.
| Day | Gaming Floor Hours |
|---|---|
| Sunday - Thursday | 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 a.m. |
| Friday | 24 hours (continuous) |
| Saturday | 24 hours (continuous) |
Players heading over late on a weeknight should take a quick look at casinoregina.com before leaving home. Aggregator sites sometimes list slightly off closing times, and the casino’s own hours page is the only version that actually matters. Gambling age is 19, which lines up with Saskatchewan provincial requirements.
Joining a Table
Standard table games do not use reservations. Seats are taken on a first-come basis. You simply walk onto the floor, look for an open chair at the game and limit you want, and sit when the dealer gives the nod.
A typical live table entry goes something like this:
- Come in through the Saskatchewan Drive entrance and follow the signs toward the main table games area.
- Before sitting down, read the limit placard at the table to check the minimum and maximum bets.
- Hand cash to the dealer to buy chips, or visit the casino cage first if you prefer bigger exchanges in one go.
- Wait until the current hand or round ends, then place your first wager once the dealer gives the okay.
- If the specific game, stake level, or rule set you want is not in sight, ask a floor supervisor to steer you to the right pit.
- If table limits sit above what you plan to risk, fall back to the touch-bet terminals and play there instead.
A small but useful habit: checking those table limit signs before you get comfortable avoids sitting down only to realize the minimum is much steeper than you expected. Ten seconds up front saves an awkward exit.
Live play on the casino floor is entirely chip-based. Players buy chips with cash at the table or cage and cash out at the cage afterward. Bank cards and digital wallets are not used directly for betting at the felt; everything routes through physical chips.
The Poker Room
Poker runs in its own dedicated room, separate from the general table games area, with a schedule that differs slightly from the main floor. Doors open daily at noon. On Sunday through Thursday nights, poker tables stay active until 4:00 a.m., while on Friday and Saturday the room extends later, closing at 6:00 a.m. Cash games are dealt every day, across multiple formats and stake levels.
| Game Format | Stakes Range |
|---|---|
| Limit Texas Hold’em | $1/$2 up to $100/$200 |
| No Limit Texas Hold’em | $1/$2 up to $10/$25 |
| Omaha High/Low (Limit) | Available at select limits |
The Live Table Tracker on casinoregina.com/gaming/poker displays which games are currently running, how many tables are open, and any waiting lists, complete with timestamps. A quick check before heading in can make a difference: you can see right away if your usual stake has a free seat or if you are likely to land on a list.
Private poker events are offered as well. These need to be arranged ahead of time, with a minimum of four days notice. Casino Regina’s own poker rules and rake structure stay in place, even for private play. All bookings for private games go through the Poker Room, using 306-787-2950.
