Five venues, four seasons

Winnipeg Casino Online in Every Season

The five venues keep their published hours all year, but the season changes the trip around them. Pick a month and a venue to see what to plan: parking, the ride there and back, closing time, a bed nearby.

WinterDecember to February

Winter asks about covered parking, the coat check, a late ride home without driving, and a bed instead of the drive.

Online in Manitoba

Since January 2013, PlayNow.com has operated in Manitoba, run by Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries (MBLL). It is the only gambling site licensed in the province. In January 2024, MBLL warned that its two Winnipeg casinos offer no mobile app and no online gaming, after a fake casino app was advertised.

The Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba (LGCA) says most gambling sites advertised to Manitobans are not regulated in Manitoba. It cannot make an unregulated site follow Manitoba law, which could mean trouble such as an unpaid win. Ads for gambling sites do not mean they are legal.

On this site, only the home page carries paid links, marked Ad. They lead to a private online casino: not PlayNow, not licensed in Manitoba, and not covered by MBLL Voluntary Self-Exclusion. The site earns a commission, and the partner can change. The Online play rules page sets this out in full.

Questions readers ask

Do the venues keep different hours in winter?

No, none of the five venues published different hours for a season when the guide was checked. Holiday hours should be checked on each venue's own site.

Where is there parking under cover?

Club Regent Casino has a free parkade connected to its Canad Inns hotel. For Shark Club Gaming Centre, Cityplace Lot 1 is covered and open 24/7; Lot 4 is heated and closed on weekends. McPhillips Station Casino, Assiniboia Downs and South Beach Casino & Resort publish no covered parking.

Can a taxi be called from Club Regent or McPhillips Station?

Yes, if asked, staff at Club Regent Casino and McPhillips Station Casino may request a taxi or Handi-Transit for a guest. They may also assist at the doors and retrieve items from the coat check area.

Does Assiniboia Downs have live racing all year?

No, live thoroughbred racing runs only in season, with dates set by the track and published on its own website. Televised racing, the Club West Gaming Lounge at Assiniboia Downs and the restaurant run all year.

Is this site a casino?

This site is an independent guide, not a casino: it takes no bets and has no accounts. Only the home page carries paid links, marked Ad, all to the same online casino partner. The site earns a commission, and the partner can change.
