The casino by the spa
Casino Moose Jaw opened on September 6, 2002, in a 12,000-square-foot space leased from Temple Gardens Mineral Spa. It sits downtown, and a pedway crosses Fairford Street to the spa's hotel expansion. The opening was part of the city's historical tourism theme. It also helped the restoration of the downtown core.
Inside, the house motto is "Where the Twenties Roar Again!" Murals and architecture recall bootleggers bucking the system, with jazz and dancing filling the streets. A $5 million renovation began in late June 2023, and the casino stayed open throughout. It was the first extensive renovation since 2002. The 2024 result opened up the gaming floor, with a design drawn from the Snowbird planes and the city's history.
How the weekend fits
If you stay at the spa's hotel, the pedway over Fairford Street brings you across to the casino. Doors open at 9 am and close at 4 am, every night of the week. For a meal, CMJ Express serves hot coffee, cheeseburgers, wings, dry ribs, soups and salads during regular casino hours. Its 2024 redesign borrows the feel of the Chicago Connection Tunnels of Moose Jaw, with hints of the 1920s.
Players Club members can look at the Moose Jaw Getaway package on the casinos' tourism page. It pairs one night at the Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa with two passes to the Tunnels of Moose Jaw. Bookings go through 1-800-718-7727, and the current terms are on that page. Plan Sunday with care: city buses do not run that day.
What is on the floor
Casino Moose Jaw has nearly 200 slot machines, plus Blackjack, Roulette and Poker on the gaming floor. Across both casinos, slot denominations run from 1 cent to $5. The casino does not publish hours for its live tables, how many tables there are, or which poker games run.
If you want Baccarat, Three Card Poker, Chase the Flush or Touch Bet terminals, those are listed at Casino Regina. It sits 66 km away in a straight line, at 1880 Saskatchewan Drive. The finder below answers game by game.
