Wolastoq Casino on Gabriel Drive

Wolastoq Casino's table games are electronic blackjack and electronic roulette, not live dealer tables. The floor is open 7 days a week, 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM. Holiday hours should be checked on the venue's own site.

There are smoking and non-smoking areas, with the smoke-friendly gaming area on the upper floor. Food and drinks come from two places, The Pine Tree Bar & Grill and the Wolastoq Bar.

Player Rewards has three tiers: Red, Blue and Black. A player's tier is set by points earned in any 12 consecutive months. Sign-up costs nothing and is done at Guest Services.

The poker room deals $1/$3 Texas Hold'em. One hand of Omaha comes up per orbit, and a double-board bomb pot runs every hour. The buy-in is $60 minimum and $300 maximum.

Wednesday to Saturday, the room runs 6 PM to 2 AM, with phones open from 5 PM. On Sunday it opens earlier, 5 PM to 2 AM, with phones from 4 PM. Each closing falls after midnight, so the Saturday session ends at 2 AM on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday have no poker. Reservations go through 506-462-7689.

Bingo runs six nights a week in the Wolastoq Casino bingo hall. The minimum age for bingo is 16, and that applies to bingo only. The casino itself is 19+. Guests aged 16 to 18 can play bingo but cannot play in the casino. Evening admissions start at 4:30 PM, and online booking closes at 12 PM.

Wolastoq Casino describes itself as proudly owned and operated by Saint Mary's First Nation, and supports over 130 team members. The First Nation venues page covers it with Grey Rock Casino.
