Two New Calgary Casinos And At Least Two More Opening Soon.

Calgary casinos are expanding at a rate that compares with the expansion rate of the rest of the city of Calgary and Alberta as a whole.

Just in the past year two new casinos have been added to the roster and, believe it or not, Calgarians will be able to enjoy a couple more within the next year.

Now if you'd ask the average person if gambling is becoming a problem, the answer is usually a resounding NO.

However, I can't help but think that gambling has become a very big industry, not just in Calgary, but across the country, and some people will become addicted and run into financial difficulties.

Undoubtedly the vast majority of people fall in the recreational group of gamblers, and for them the new casinos are a welcome addition.

Right now we have the following Calgary casinos operating:

One of the newest among the Calgary Casinos, and probably, the most popular is the: Deerfoot Inn and Casino with the following tables and slot machines:

Table Games:

Black Jack, Baccarat, Craps, Roulette, Caribbean Stud, Three Card Poker, 4 Card Poker, and Pai Gow.

Slot Machines:

621 Slot Machines including Province Wide and In House Progressives

Not to be outdone, and just about as new is the : Elbow River Casino with the same array of tables and no less than 634 Slot Machines, and great dining facilities as well.

Then there is Casino Calgary.

In this well established 52.000 sq. feet facility you can enjoy over 730 slot machines, electronic horse racing and the usual table games, along with excellent food in one of 2 restaurants.

Cash Casino is located at 4040 Blackfoot Trail SE and has 2 restaurants and a bar in the 48.400 sq. feet facility with 29 table games and no less than 665 slot machines.

And on the Calgary Stampede grounds you'll find the Stampede Casino in the historic Big Four Building with 25.000 sq. feet with 21 table games, a poker room and 280 slot machines.

But guess what? This facility will be replaced by a $44 million, brand new Stampede Casino which is scheduled for completion in 2008. It will be a beauty. I'm sure of that.

Of course the old standby among the Calgary casinos is still going strong and I am talking about Frank Sisson's Silver Dollar Casino ,a sprawling 80.000 sq. feet facility that accommodates a casino with table games such as Blackjack, Roulette, Carribean Stud, Carribean Draw and more!

In addition there are 450 slot machines 25 VLT's, three lounges with giant TV screens, and a licensed restaurant.

Then there is special entertainment in the “show room".

Add to that 34 lanes of ten pin Bowling, and 4 lanes of five pin bowling to complete the picture.

Now some time in the second half of 2007, just outside the city limits on the Tsuu T'ina First Nation calgarians will be able to go to a brand new $27 Million complex housing Casino and Bingo facilities.

As you can see from this, gambling , gaming and all other kinds of entertainment are alive and well (and growing) in this fabulous city we endearingly refer to as “Cow Town”.
