Erin Calder writes this guide

A pen name and a character

Erin Calder is a pen name. It is the name Edmonton Casino Guide is written under, and the woman you see in the pictures is a character made for the guide. Those pictures are AI-generated images, not photographs of a real person.

The guide itself is an independent local guide to the eight casinos in and around Edmonton. It is not a casino. It takes no bets and holds no accounts. On the site, Erin writes and checks every page and answers for every fact on it.

What she does on each page

In the pictures, Erin has a job on each page. She holds a sign with the main fact of that part of the page, such as how many casinos stay open all night or how far a casino is from downtown.

She also points at the tools, so you can find them quickly:

• the trip helper on the getting-there page
• the door check on the first-visit page
• the table planner on the table games page

How the hours are checked

Hours come from each casino's own website. Slots and table games can keep different hours, so they are listed separately.

Hours that run past midnight belong to the evening before. When Friday's hours end at 3 AM, the doors close at 3 AM on Saturday morning. Keep that in mind when you look at the late night list.

Every clock on the site, the planner included, runs on Edmonton time. Holiday hours are not covered, so check the casino's own site before a holiday.

How addresses and distances are checked

Addresses and phone numbers come from each casino's own website. Distances are measured in a straight line from downtown Edmonton or from the area you pick, not by road.

Each fact is kept with the address of the page it came from and the date it was checked. Before a fact goes up, a second check reopens its source. The facts on the site were last checked on October 7, 2026. The full process is on how we check.

What stays off the page

Anything the source doesn't say gets cut. When sources disagree and the question can't be settled, the fact stays off the page rather than going up as a guess.

The guide does not rate casinos or give them stars, and it never makes up a visitor's opinion. You get the hours, the address and the distance, and the choice is yours.

There is no contact form and no email address. If a detail here differs from what a casino publishes, go by the casino's own site.
