Live Poker at Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton
If you are typing “Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton poker online” hoping to sit down from your couch, we want to be clear right away. All poker under this brand in Edmonton is played live, in person, at 13103 Fort Road in northeast Edmonton. There is no confirmed, licensed online poker room that carries this specific casino name. Instead, what you will find on-site is a real, busy poker room - and for a lot of players, that ends up being more fun.
The room spreads both cash games and weekly tournaments. It is regarded as one of the steadier live poker venues in the city. Schedules and lineups move around though, so picking up the phone before you head over is just common sense. Hours can shift, certain games may not be running, and crossing Edmonton only to find a dead room never feels good. The dedicated poker line is +1 780-643-4099.
Cash Games and Tournaments
Here are the current verified formats running in the poker room:
- $1/$2 No Limit Hold’em - buy-ins generally range from about $100 up to $500.
- $3/$6 Dealer’s Choice - minimum buy-in from $30, with no posted maximum.
- $3/$6 Limit Hold’em - minimum buy-in from $30, again with no posted max.
Weekly Texas Hold’em tournaments are listed on Thursdays and Sundays. Directory listings often show buy-ins close to $60, but those numbers are not guaranteed up to date. Before you plan a night around a specific event, it is safer to call the room directly and confirm the current format and cost.
Poker Room Hours
Poker hours and overall casino hours can differ a little. Below is the usual casino schedule:
| Day | Casino Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday - Thursday | 9:30 AM to 4:00 AM |
| Friday - Sunday | Open 24 hours |
Some poker directories mention that the poker room itself stays open 24 hours on Thursday and Friday. On other days, it is typically noted as opening near 10:00 AM. These details do change occasionally, so a quick phone call is worth it. You can reach the room at +1 780-643-4099.
The Gaming Floor
If you feel like mixing it up beyond poker, the property offers around 35,000 square feet of gaming space. For Edmonton, that is a solid mid-sized floor. Table games are not limited to just one or two classics either, which catches some guests by surprise when they first walk in.
| Game Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Poker Tables | 10 dedicated tables |
| Blackjack | 13 tables |
| Roulette | 2 tables |
| Baccarat | 5 tables |
| Three Card Poker | 1 table |
| Four Card Poker | 1 table |
| Ultimate Texas Hold’em | 1 table |
| Craps | 1 table |
| Slots | Approximately 588-777 machines |
| VLTs | 17 machines |
| Off-Track Betting | Available on-site |
| Minimum Age | 18 years |
The exact slot count can look different depending on which directory you read. One external source lists 777 machines, including more than 160 penny-denomination slots. Another puts the total at 588. Both counts are usually including VLTs, or Video Lottery Terminals. These are electronic gaming machines that operate under a separate provincial framework in Alberta. They feel similar to regular slots on the surface but sit under a slightly different set of rules. That can be useful context if you are new to casinos in this province.
There is also an off-track betting area where you can wager on horse racing from inside the building. It is in its own section, away from the core gaming floor and separate from the poker room, and it is straightforward to find once you are on the property.
Planning Your Visit
One piece of practical advice that really helps across any casino visit, not only here: decide roughly how much you plan to risk in a session before you step through the doors. It sounds simple, but it has a real effect on how you make decisions at the table and how you feel about the session later.
For a typical trip to Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton, things usually unfold something like this:
- Check the casino hours for the day you want to come in, using the schedule above as a baseline.
- Call the poker room at +1 780-643-4099 to see what cash games are running right now and whether a tournament is actually on that day.
- If you plan to stay overnight, book a room either through the hotel directly or with a booking service. Standard check-in starts from 3:00 PM, with check-out by 11:00 AM. Some listings mention that check-in can be accepted until 11:59 PM, so if you are arriving late at night it is worth confirming with the front desk.
- Make your way to 13103 Fort Road, Edmonton, AB T5A 1C3. The property sits in northeast Edmonton, roughly 7 km from the city centre.
- Once on-site, you can use the free underground heated parking. There is no parking fee for casino guests.
- Bring valid government-issued identification. The minimum age to enter the gaming floor and gamble is 18 years.
- When you reach the poker room desk, staff will either add your name to a waiting list or seat you right away if a chair is open.
Celly’s Sports Bar and Lounge is located on the property if you want a drink or something to eat before, during, or after your poker time. There is also a restaurant in the same complex, so you do not have to leave the building just to grab a meal.
