The floor and the poker room
Starlight Casino has 54 table games and over 935 slots. Day and night, on every day of the year, the building remains open. The operator is Gateway Casinos & Entertainment.
The poker room sits off the main casino floor and has 7 tables. The room opens at 11 AM Sunday through Thursday and stays open until late. No exact weeknight closing time is published, so this guide does not give one. On Friday and Saturday the room runs 24 hours.
Players can reach the poker line at 604-777-3500 with questions about a given night. The main casino number is 604-777-2946, and the venue's own site should be consulted for holiday hours.
Racebook, food and parking
Inside MATCH Eatery & Public House is the racebook, where off-track bets can be placed on standardbred and thoroughbred racing. On Sunday it runs from 9 AM to 9 PM; on Monday and Tuesday, from 12 PM to 9 PM. The racebook keeps 9 AM to 9 PM hours on Wednesday and Thursday, and 9 AM to midnight on Friday and Saturday. Kirin Restaurant serves Chinese food on site.
No fee is charged for parking, either in the outdoor lots or in a parkade connected to the front door. RV parking is available on request. The Encore Rewards card is free and is obtained at Guest Services with valid ID. Wheelchairs, accessible formats and communication supports can be requested.
Seen from Langley
Starlight Casino lies 23.4 km from Langley City, measured in a straight line. The poker room runs 7 tables, compared with 6 at Cascades Casino Langley. On Friday and Saturday the Starlight room runs 24 hours. The Cascades room opens at 10 AM daily and publishes no closing time.
Gateway Casinos & Entertainment runs both casinos, and the same Encore Rewards card is used at each. Setting a spending limit before the drive makes sense at either room.
