Who has what
Six casinos have a poker room: Parq Casino, Grand Villa Casino Burnaby, Great Canadian Casino Vancouver and River Rock Casino Resort. Starlight Casino New Westminster and Cascades Casino Langley do too. Hastings Casino, Elements Casino Surrey and Cascades Casino Delta have none. Five have a hotel on site: Parq, Grand Villa, River Rock, Cascades Delta and Cascades Langley.
Parq, Grand Villa, Starlight and Cascades Langley are open around the clock. Racebooks are at four: Hastings, River Rock, Starlight and Elements. Two publish free parking: Grand Villa and Starlight. Parq and River Rock have a SkyTrain station within 1 km in a straight line.
Four casinos publish live-table hours. From Monday to Thursday, tables at River Rock and at Great Canadian Casino Vancouver run 10 AM to 4 AM. From Friday 10 AM they run continuously to Monday 4 AM. Elements closes its tables at 1 AM Sunday to Thursday, 3 AM on Friday and Saturday. Cascades Delta runs them from the afternoon to 12 AM, or 2 AM on Friday and Saturday.
How to read the table
The table has one row per casino. Each row gives the nearest other casino with a poker room, a hotel on site and round-the-clock opening, in kilometres in a straight line. These are distances between map coordinates, not driving or walking distances. "Has it" means the casino in that row has the need itself.
Where a casino's published facts say nothing about a need, it is never offered for it. No travel times appear anywhere on the site.
Seen from Coquitlam
Great Canadian Casino Vancouver in Coquitlam has a poker room with 10 tables. Its live tables run from 10 AM to 4 AM, Monday to Thursday. From Friday 10 AM they run straight through to Monday 4 AM. No floor hours are published, so it is never offered for open at this hour. This guide lists nothing about a hotel, a racebook or free parking there.
For most needs, the plan B is Starlight Casino New Westminster, 9.8 km in a straight line. It covers round-the-clock opening, a poker room, a racebook and free parking. A hotel points elsewhere: Grand Villa Casino Burnaby, 12.8 km in a straight line.
