Before you go

British Columbia sets 19 as the minimum gambling age, and anyone under 19 is barred from the casino. Since June 2023, government-issued photo ID has been required of every guest at the door, and the IDs are then matched against the self-exclusion list.

Food and drink is at the MATCH Eatery & Public House, which has a rooftop patio and an outdoor bocce court.
