Hastings Casino and its plan B

Hastings Casino, at 188 N Renfrew St in Vancouver's Hastings Park, is a slots-only floor with a simulcast racebook. This page gives its plan B for every need, with each distance in a straight line.

What Hastings Casino has

Hastings Casino opens at 11 AM every day. It closes at 12 AM Sunday to Thursday and at 2 AM on Friday and Saturday. These are local Pacific times. This page does not list holiday hours; for those, look at the casino's own site.

The floor is slot machines only, with no table games and no poker room. Thoroughbred racing at Hastings ended on December 5, 2025, but the simulcast racebook continues. It shows races from elsewhere, and a monthly schedule is posted on its page. Great Canadian Entertainment still ran the casino on October 7, 2026. Tsleil-Waututh Nation signed a definitive agreement to buy the casino part on November 7, 2025, and no closing had been announced by October 8, 2026.

Jerome's, a casual restaurant, sits off the racebook. An indoor lounge has a full-service bar and a stage.

Plan B from Hastings, straight line

When Hastings does not fit

Hastings Casino has no tables or poker room and is not open around the clock. For poker or round-the-clock hours, the plan B is Grand Villa Casino Burnaby, 4.0 km in a straight line, then Parq Casino, 5.6 km. The same pair applies to a hotel on site, which this guide does not list for Hastings.

Free parking is not published for Hastings. Grand Villa Casino Burnaby, 4.0 km in a straight line, publishes it, with Starlight Casino New Westminster, 12.6 km, as the second option. Rupert Station is 2.9 km from Hastings in a straight line. For a SkyTrain station within 1 km, the plan B is Parq Casino, 5.6 km, then River Rock Casino Resort, 12.0 km.

Distances here run between map coordinates in a straight line; they are not driving or walking routes. The plan B card on this page runs the same check for every need.
