Lethbridge Casino / The casino
Inside PURE Casino on 2 Avenue South
PURE Casino Lethbridge sits at 3756 2 Avenue South, and this page walks you through it like a local friend would. You will find the building, the hours for each part, what to bring to the door and how the two rewards cards work.
The building on 2 Avenue South
The casino stands at 3756 2 Avenue South, Lethbridge, Alberta T1J 4Y9. It opened at this location in 2004. The building covers over 44,000 square feet, and 13,000 of those are set aside for gaming. So the floor itself is only part of what sits under one roof.
Ownership sits one step up. The casino is part of PURE Canadian Gaming, and in December 2024 Indigenous Gaming Partners acquired PURE Canadian Gaming. That group brings together five Nova Scotia First Nations and Sonco Gaming Inc.
Locals may know the name from the rink. At Lethbridge Hurricanes (WHL) games the casino runs a Community Corner, where it invites fans to enjoy a game. It has also won the Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Employer Award. That award comes from the city's own business community, not from a gaming body.

How the hours fit together
The doors open at 8:00 am and close at 5:00 am the next morning, every day. Inside that window, each part keeps its own clock. Slot machines run from 10 am to 5 am. Poker follows the live tables: 2 pm to 3 am on weekdays, and from 12 pm (noon) until 3 am on Saturday and Sunday.
Food and drinks follow their own pattern. Stage Coach Grill serves from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Buffalo Bar, on the casino floor, is open from 8:00 am to 4:00 am. So if you walk in before 10 am, you will find breakfast and the bar open, but not the slots.
All hours on this page are shown in local Mountain time, just as the casino lists them. A shift that starts in the evening ends after midnight, on the next calendar day. No holiday hours are published, so before visiting on a holiday, call the casino or look at its own website.

Two cards, two jobs
PURE Rewards is the casino group's own card. Members get 10% off food and beverage purchases, though alcohol, specials and promotional items are excluded. The card also brings invitations to special events and a place on mailing lists.
Winner's Edge is AGLC's casino rewards card, used across Alberta. Here, the card builds points on money you wager at electronic table games and slot machines. Its My Activity and Budgeting Tools let members set spending and time limits, along with alerts. You can set them at the Winner's Edge kiosk in any Alberta casino or in your online account.
