Vancouver Casinos Online by SkyTrain

It rains more than it snows here, SkyTrain gets you most of the way, and one casino downtown is open around the clock. This guide covers the two casinos in the city of Vancouver: where to get off the train, where to park, and what is open right now.

What brings you out?

First time at a casino in Vancouver

  1. Bring government photo ID. The legal age in BC is 19, and staff can ask for it.
  2. Parq Casino is the easy start: downtown, listed as open 24 hours, with two SkyTrain stations within 850 m.
  3. Decide what you'll spend before you leave home, and treat it as the price of the night out.
  4. Hours and rules change. A quick call to the venue costs nothing.

Parq Casino, full cardGetting thereSupport line

After midnight

  1. Parq Casino is listed as open 24/7. The live status on this page is worked out from Vancouver time, not yours.
  2. Hastings Casino has no hours we could confirm. Call 604-254-1631 before you head out.
  3. SkyTrain doesn't run all night. Look up the last train in the trip planner, or plan a taxi home.

Everything sorted, with live statusTrip planner

No car

  1. Parq: Expo Line to Stadium–Chinatown, then 850 m on foot. Or Canada Line to Yaletown–Roundhouse, then 800 m.
  2. Hastings Casino: we haven't verified the nearest stop yet. The trip planner will find it from your street.

Line diagram and route builder

Game day downtown

  1. Parq Casino sits right beside BC Place stadium.
  2. Check the calendar on bcplace.com first. If a game or concert is on, give yourself extra time and leave the car at home.
  3. Stadium–Chinatown on the Expo Line is 850 m from Parq; Yaletown–Roundhouse on the Canada Line is 800 m.

Both routes to ParqMore local notes

Just landed at YVR

  1. The Canada Line runs from YVR–Airport into downtown with no change. Get off at Yaletown–Roundhouse; Parq is 800 m from there.
  2. River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond says it is 5 minutes from the airport on the same line. It's outside this guide, so you'll find it in the nearby list.
  3. Pick “YVR Airport” in the nearest tool to see every casino on the list by straight-line distance from the terminal.

Staying in

  1. British Columbia has no private online casino market. The province runs one online casino, PlayNow.com, through BCLC.

Nearest from where you are

Pick a part of town. We sort eight Metro Vancouver casinos by distance from there. Two are covered in this guide; the rest are listed for reference, with hours and the official site.

Straight line, not by road. Driving or transit will be longer, sometimes a lot longer across the river. The start points are landmarks, not your address.

To scale, north up, rings at 5, 10 and 20 km. Numbers match the list. A distance chart, not a map.

    By SkyTrain and bus

    Two lines reach Parq from Waterfront. For the rest, the trip planner knows the live schedule better than any page can, so we hand you straight to it.

    Expo Line

    1. Waterfront
    2. Burrard
    3. Granville
    4. Stadium–Chinatown
    5. walk 850 m
    6. Parq Casino

    Canada Line

    1. Waterfront
    2. Vancouver City Centre
    3. Yaletown–Roundhouse
    4. walk 800 m
    5. Parq Casino

    The same line runs south to YVR–Airport. Walking distances are from Parq's own listing. Hastings Casino hasn't published a nearest stop; use the planner.

    We don't print travel times: schedules change. Google Maps gets only the landmark you picked, not your location.

    What people who live here would tell a friend who's visiting. Short, practical, and only what we've checked.

    Rain, not snow

    From autumn to spring, Vancouver mostly gets rain, not snow. On the rare snowy day, leave the car and check TransLink before you go.

    Game nights

    Parq is next door to BC Place. Check the stadium calendar first: if a game or a concert is on, give yourself extra time.

    Parking at Parq

    Self-parking is open 24 hours and is pay-by-plate: you pay by entering your licence plate number.

    The last train

    Parq is open 24 hours. SkyTrain is not. If you're staying late, look up the last train before you sit down.

    One loyalty card

    Every casino on this page lists Encore Rewards as its loyalty program.

    Hastings: call first

    We couldn't confirm Hastings Casino's hours or parking. One call to 604-254-1631 saves a trip across town.

    Only what we've checked

    No forum folklore, no "systems", no guesses about how busy a place gets. If we can't confirm a tip, it isn't here.
