Casino Moose Jaw: Key Facts
Casino Moose Jaw is located at 21 Fairford Street East in downtown Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, right beside Temple Gardens Hotel and Spa. The venue opened to the public on September 6, 2002, following a C$13 million build that the provincial government had announced in July 2001. It is not a private casino - operations run through SaskGaming, a Crown corporation fully owned by Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan.

SaskGaming is responsible for two land-based casinos in the province: Casino Moose Jaw and Casino Regina. Both sit under SLGA supervision. No regulated online casino, sports betting site or mobile betting app is officially tied to the Casino Moose Jaw name. Any platform using branding such as “Casino Moose Jaw Online” has not been confirmed as part of the SaskGaming group.
Since this is a Crown operation, net proceeds go back into Saskatchewan public accounts, instead of being distributed to private investors. That is the standard structure for this type of corporate body in the province.
Gaming Floor: Slots and Tables
The Moose Jaw casino floor holds close to 200 slot machines. Across SaskGaming as a whole, there are more than 800 machines between the two locations, with over 600 in Casino Regina and nearly 200 in Moose Jaw, so the capacity gap between the sister properties is clear.
| Game Category | Verified Offerings |

| Slot machines | Nearly 200 units on floor |
| Blackjack | Available |
| Roulette | Available |
| Poker | Available |
| Combined SaskGaming slots | 800+ across both properties |
The casino does not publish a unified schedule that lists every table opening time or betting limit. The table categories that are consistently confirmed are blackjack, roulette and poker. For specifics - such as which tables are open on a given day or what limits are currently posted - calling +1-306-694-3888 usually gives a more accurate picture than relying only on the website.
Regardless of which table you choose, one simple habit helps a lot: look at the table placard before you sit. Minimums can jump from one table to the next, and checking first avoids the moment where the dealer has to tell you that the posted bet is higher than you planned.
How Slots Work Here
The slot setup at Casino Moose Jaw follows a familiar pattern. Entry is through the main doors on Fairford Street East, where age is checked - the minimum is 19, and staff can request ID. Once inside, you will find nearly 200 machines laid out across the main gaming area, with denominations that change from machine to machine.
Typical steps on a slot machine look like this:
- Pick a machine, then glance at the screen or info panel for the minimum and maximum bet per spin.
- Insert either cash or a ticket-in/ticket-out (TITO) voucher, depending on what the unit accepts.
- Adjust your stake with the on-screen controls or buttons to set how much you want to bet per spin.
- Press Spin or Max Bet. Outcomes are produced by a certified random number generator rather than the timing of the button press.
- When you are done or want to lock in a balance, hit the cashout option. The machine prints a TITO ticket, which you can redeem at the cashier desk or feed into another compatible slot.
- If anything jams or is unclear, you can wave down a floor attendant or head over to the cashier cage for help.
The responsible gambling wording used on official materials is “Know your limit, play within it.” Tools like self-exclusion and options for monitoring play are handled through SLGA-regulated programs that apply to Casino Moose Jaw along with other sanctioned venues in Saskatchewan.
