A modest provincial gaming floor inside Regina's restored 1912 Union Station, where the building comfortably outclasses everything in it.
The most beautiful room of any casino in Canada — a 1912 railway station with a marble concourse and a small floor inside it.
Casino Regina occupies the old Union Station in downtown Regina, a 1912 railway building restored in the mid-1990s with its marble concourse, high windows and original detailing intact. It is the most architecturally rewarding casino interior in Canada after the Expo pavilions in Montréal, and it is worth twenty minutes before you look at a machine.
The gaming operation inside is small: about 600 slot machines, 20 tables, a showroom and a restaurant, run by the Saskatchewan Gaming Corporation. There is no hotel, and the property makes no claim to be a resort.
It is reviewed here because it is a genuine landmark and the principal gaming venue in the province, and because a downtown location within walking distance of Regina's hotels makes it a practical evening. Nobody should cross the country for the floor; anyone passing through should see the building.
Around 600 slot machines are arranged across the concourse and the surrounding rooms, in a mix that is serviceable rather than current. The setting compensates for a great deal — playing under a restored 1912 ceiling is a different experience from playing in a windowless hall.
About 20 table games cover blackjack, roulette and a short carnival rotation at low limits. Live poker appears occasionally rather than on a regular schedule. The high-limit provision is minimal.
Professional dealers are patient and the room is rarely crowded outside show nights, which makes it a comfortable place to learn a table game. The floor closes earlier than big-city properties.
No accommodation on site. Downtown Regina's hotels are within a five to ten minute walk, and rates are low — this is one of the least expensive downtown hotel markets in Canada.
Because the casino is genuinely central, the walkable-hotel arrangement works better here than at most properties without rooms. There is no shuttle and none is needed.
A buffet and a lounge on site, both inexpensive and unremarkable. Regina's downtown restaurants are a short walk away and are the better option for anything beyond a quick meal between sessions.
The showroom is the property's second asset after the building, programming touring music, comedy and tribute acts on a regular schedule at modest ticket prices. Show nights are when the whole venue comes alive; on a quiet Tuesday the concourse can feel like a museum with slot machines in it — which, to be fair, is its own kind of appeal.
Walk over from a downtown hotel and give the concourse and the restored detailing twenty minutes before anything else.
The showroom if the calendar suits, which is the only night the property is genuinely busy.
An hour at a low-limit table under the 1912 ceiling, then the short walk back.
Wascana Park and the Legislative Building, fifteen minutes on foot and the best of Regina.
Go for the building. Casino Regina puts a modest gaming floor inside one of the finest interiors in Canadian public architecture, and that is a fair trade for an evening. Stay downtown, walk over, and time your visit to a showroom night.
