The Evening Edit/The hours
When Gold Horse Casino Opens and Closes
Gold Horse Casino keeps six clocks: the floor, the live tables, poker, the Sports Bar & Grill, the Deli & Bar and the box office. The contact sheet below marks which of them are running at the hour you pick.

01
The floor's long day
Each day at 10 AM, the gaming floor opens. Closing is at 3 AM, Sunday through Thursday. On Friday and Saturday nights the floor holds on until 4 AM, granting a weekend evening one more hour before it ends. More than 250 slot machines stand on the floor, in denominations of 1 cent, 5 cents, 25 cents, $1 and $5.
This page gives every hour in Lloydminster time. Central Standard Time, UTC-6, applies across all of Saskatchewan year-round. Because Saskatchewan time always matches Alberta's, the whole city runs on one clock. Visitors driving in from Alberta have no watch to reset.

Tables from four
Every day, dealing at the live tables begins at 4 PM. From Sunday to Thursday they close at 2 AM, an hour before the floor. On Friday and Saturday they run until 3 AM, again an hour ahead of the floor's close. The casino's list of table games includes Poker, Chase the Flush, Blackjack and Bonus Spin Xtreme Power Up.
No table count is published by the casino. Before planning around one particular game, a call to 306-825-3777 settles whether it is running. Dinner can come first: the Sports Bar & Grill opens at 11 AM, long before the first card is dealt.
03
Poker from six
Poker starts at 6 PM every day, two hours after the other live tables. The casino publishes no closing time for poker. It publishes no stakes, no table count and no tournament details either. If you plan a long poker night, call 306-825-3777 before you set out and ask how late the game is expected to run. The same number answers questions the casino leaves unpublished, such as a dress code.
04
The last hour
The box office at Guest Services closes at midnight, so buy show tickets before then or through SIGA's box office online. Past midnight, the Deli & Bar keeps serving quick bites, spirits and pints until 2 AM. Sunday through Thursday, dealers close the live tables at 2 AM; on Fridays and Saturdays they carry on until 3 AM. Poker's closing time is not published. The floor follows an hour after the tables, at 3 AM or 4 AM.
Before a late holiday night, ring 306-825-3777, since the casino does not post its holiday schedule.
