Address, owner and place in the guide

PURE Casino Calgary stands at 1420 Meridian Rd NE, Calgary, AB T2A 2N9. It is a full casino, with slot machines, electronic table games, live table games and VLTs. Indigenous Gaming Partners owns and operates it through Pure Casino Entertainment Limited Partnership. That partnership of five Nova Scotia Mi'kmaw First Nations acquired PURE Canadian Gaming in December 2024.

The company has a longer history. It was known as Casino ABS when ONCAP bought it in 2011, and became PURE Canadian Gaming two years later. On June 24, 2026, PURE completed its purchase of Gamehost. That deal brought Deerfoot Inn & Casino, in the city's southeast, under the same operator. In this guide, both venues sit in the Calgary area section.

On the floor and around it

  • Slot machines: more than 850 of them. The floor also has VLTs, short for video lottery terminals, a type of electronic gaming machine.
  • Electronic table games are table games run by machine or screen, played from individual seats. Here that means 12-seat automated roulette, a 24-seat stadium on a 14-foot screen, and the Replay Arena.
  • Live table games, dealt by staff, include Baccarat, Blackjack, Free Bet Blackjack, Chase the Flush, Pai Gow and Roulette. A high-limit room, meant for larger bets, holds 5 Baccarat and 3 Blackjack tables, and there is a VIP gaming lounge.
  • Poker runs in a room with ten tables, dealing Texas Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha, with weekly and monthly tournaments. The poker room has its own line: 403-237-6537.
  • Loyalty cards come in two kinds here. Winner's Edge is AGLC's province-wide program, earning points on slots and electronic table games, and the operator's own PURE Rewards card applies as well.
  • Shows take place at Meridian Central Station, the casino's entertainment venue.

Before you go

Entry is for adults: the legal gambling age in Alberta is 18. Staff must check valid government-issued photo ID for anyone who appears to be under 25, so carry it. Opening hours for the casino floor, live tables and poker are in the "Plan your visit" table beside the map. Holiday hours can differ, so check the venue's own page or the main line at (403) 248-9467 before setting out.

Parking and transit details are not something this guide has to pass on for Meridian Road.
