The new casino features 638 slots with 26 gaming tables and Interblock electronic gaming.

Featuring a sports bar, a nightly buffet, private VIP table game salons and more, the Ace Airport Casino has officially opened in Calgary, Alberta. 

The casino property features 638 slots, 26 table games, twelve video lottery terminal (VLT) machines, two private VIP salons, twelve table poker rooms and arena-style gaming.

Along with gaming options, the location also features restaurants such as "The Kitchen" and "The Buffet" for guests. The Ace Sports Bar was also opened at the same time, featuring a 40-foot TV wall. 

Ace Casino's Airport General Manager Joe Chapple said: "We are thrilled to bring Calgary's most dynamic entertainment destination to YYC providing Calgarians and airport guests a luxurious, high-energy atmosphere centered around immersive gaming, entertainment and dining experiences."

Every casino features an Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis GameSense Advisor who is assigned to the location. There is already a representative in place at the Ace Airport Casino to support players.

Grand opening weekend is set to take place on November 25 at 9:00am and features live entertainment with various performances throughout the day. Food and beverage specials are available along with cash prize giveaways. 

Ace Casinos announced its giveback program at the Ace Airport Casino, Ace Casino Blackfoot and Cash Casino Red Deer. An employee-led committee from each location will select local communities and charities to support. 

Back in September 2022, Ace Casino and Cash Casino donated $10,000 to Fairview Elementary School in Red Deer to assist refugees with living essentials.  

The opening of Ace Airport Casino is expected to create nearly two hundred permanent employment positions in the community.
