Leaving town for 107 Avenue
Great Northern Casino keeps its doors at 10910 107 Avenue, Grande Prairie, Alberta T8V 7R2. Measured from the middle of each town straight to that door, Sexsmith sits 19.3 km away, Wembley 20.4 km and Beaverlodge 38.6 km. To the north and north-east, Spirit River is 66.7 km, Fairview 102.7 km and Peace River 151.7 km. East and south, Valleyview comes in at 98.7 km and Grande Cache at 144.6 km. Across the line in British Columbia, Dawson Creek sits 110.1 km away.
These lines are always shorter than the real roads, which is why the guide offers no driving times. Instead, each town in the strip has a link that opens the route. Settle the trip back before you leave town, too: the casino's pages point to neither a shuttle nor a taxi stand, nor to the closest bus stop.

Rolling in
Arriving on the casino's clock
Slot machines start at 9:30 a.m. every day. After a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday they stop at 3 a.m., and after a Friday or a Saturday they run until 4 a.m. Live tables run from noon to 2 a.m. on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday start later, at 2 p.m., with the same 2 a.m. close. On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, play at the tables begins at noon and ends at 3 a.m.
The Platinum Lounge keeps one schedule all week: 9:30 a.m. until 2 a.m. Every hour on this page is Alberta time, which is Mountain time, as the casino posts it. A late shift that starts on one day finishes in the small hours of the next calendar day. No holiday hours are posted, so phone 780-539-4454 before leaving town for a holiday visit.

After the drive
A meal after the road
There are two places to eat inside. The Platinum Lounge and Dining Room is a full-service restaurant and lounge, open from 9:30 a.m. until 2 a.m. Joker's Café is the second, and its hours are not posted. Guest Services, at extension 0 on the main line, is the place to ask.
Breakfast runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon on weekdays. On Saturday and Sunday it stretches to 3 p.m., which leaves room for a late start out of Fairview or Grande Cache. The lunch menu also stops at 3 p.m. A chef's daily special is on from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., every day of the week.

Behind the door
Behind the front doors
Entertainment space inside the building covers 30,000 square feet. The floor carries more than 400 slot machines, with 40 VLTs set apart in their own room. Six table games are on the list: Roulette, Three Card Poker, Chase The Flush, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Blackjack and Free Bet Blackjack. The casino posts no table minimums.
The poker room has 3 tables. Cash tables deal Pot Limit Omaha, No Limit Hold'em and Dealer's Choice, which rotates among Hold'em, Pineapple, Crazy Pineapple and Omaha. Start times shift from one day to the next, and the room keeps no posted opening hours of its own. A seat can be held from one day before the game, during poker room hours. The Houseman takes those requests in the room, or by phone at 780-539-4454, extension 121.
Staying over
Sleeping next door
The casino has no hotel rooms. Service Plus Inns & Suites, a separate hotel, stands right next door at 10810 107 Avenue, and its phone is (780) 538-3900. For anyone who would rather not head back to Spirit River or Dawson Creek at closing, that door is the alternative.
Service Plus has an indoor pool with a waterpark, a 210-foot waterslide and a hot tub. A hot breakfast comes with the room, and some rooms take pets. The casino also names Encore Suites as a place to stay, reachable at 587-259-0425.
The other room
A second room at the south edge
Wild Horse Casino & Lounge sits on the grounds of Evergreen Park, 55051 Township Rd 710, at Grande Prairie's southern edge, on land governed by County of Grande Prairie No. 1. Its floor holds slot machines and VLTs, though no table games, and play runs every day from 10 a.m. until 1 a.m. Only adults 18 and over may enter; the phone number is (780) 532-3265.
Off-track betting there shows live races from tracks across North America and Alberta, with bets placed at self-serve kiosks. More than 2,000 parking spaces on the grounds come at no charge.
Online in Alberta
Online casinos under Alberta rules
Online gaming in Alberta has run as a regulated market from July 13, 2026 onward. AGLC is the regulator, while the Alberta iGaming Corporation, or AiGC, runs the market itself. An operator joins only by holding AGLC registration and signing an operating agreement with AiGC. 22 registered sites had approval when the market opened. Play Alberta, found at playalberta.ca, belongs to the province itself; AGLC operates it, and the Government of Alberta receives whatever it takes in.
Registered iGaming sites are listed in an AiGC directory at abigaming.ca. Any operator not found there is not regulated in Alberta, while approved operators display the AiGC logo. Registered operators can admit only players physically located inside Alberta, so a reader at home in Dawson Creek or Fort St. John is outside that reach.

Before the car leaves town
Questions from the road
01How far is Beaverlodge from the casino door?
Beaverlodge sits 38.6 km from the door at 10910 107 Avenue, measured straight from the middle of town. Real roads run longer, and the town's link in the strip opens the route.
02Until what time do the slots run on a Friday night?
They run until 4 a.m., which falls in the small hours of Saturday. The same 4 a.m. close follows a Saturday, while other nights end at 3 a.m.
03Can you still order breakfast at 2 p.m. on a Saturday?
Yes, on Saturday and Sunday the breakfast menu runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. On weekdays it ends at noon.
04Can you sleep in the casino building itself?
No, the casino has no hotel rooms. Service Plus Inns & Suites, a separate hotel, stands right next door at 10810 107 Avenue; its phone is (780) 538-3900.
05Does a casino shuttle run in from the towns?
No shuttle appears on the casino's pages, and neither does a taxi stand or a nearest bus stop. Coming in from Sexsmith or Peace River means arranging your own way there and back.
