Casino hours
Bear Claw Casino welcomes players from 11 am until midnight, seven days a week. Clock times here are Central Standard Time. Saskatchewan keeps that time year-round, so nothing shifts in spring or fall. Bear Claw publishes no holiday schedule, so before a holiday trip the Highway 9 desk suggests checking bearclawcasino.ca or calling the casino at 306-577-4577. Hotel questions go to 306-577-4588.
Slot machines
The casino floor has more than 130 slot machines. They come in 1¢, 5¢, 25¢ and $1 denominations, which is the value of one credit. Its slots include SIGA's own progressive jackpots, Smoke Signals and Rider Nation. A progressive jackpot is a top prize that grows as people play the linked machines. This guide does not give jackpot amounts for either one.
The Circuit electronic tables
The Circuit is what the casino calls its electronic table games. Four are on offer: Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette and Three-Card Poker. Until 4 pm the tables use auto play, which means the game deals by itself with no dealer present. A live dealer takes over at 4 pm and runs the games until midnight.
By SIGA's count, the casino has 6 table games. No separate schedule for live tables is posted. To learn table times for a particular day, phone the casino at 306-577-4577. Anyone set on playing with a live dealer should reach the floor after 4 pm.
Front desk and Guest Services
Bear Claw's hotel front desk is staffed from 6 am to 9:45 pm daily. No room rates or check-in and check-out times are posted, so anyone arriving late should phone the hotel ahead at 306-577-4588.
Guest Services also serves as the Bear Claw box office for show tickets, and its counter is staffed from 10 am until midnight, 7 days a week. Tickets can also be bought online through SIGABoxOffice. Each show admits guests 19+ only, and no ticket sale can be reversed. For what is playing now, see bearclawcasino.ca/entertainment/.
