Casinos in Burnaby

Burnaby has one casino, and it’s a polished one. Grand Villa Casino sits in the city’s heart, a full entertainment resort that pulls players from across Metro Vancouver. For a single-venue city, Burnaby holds its own, thanks to a casino that pairs gaming with a hotel, dining, and live events. Everything here is overseen by BC’s official provincial gambling authorities, the BCLC and the IGCO, and the legal age is 19. So the map is short, but the venue is a genuine destination.

Where Are the Casinos in Burnaby?

Burnaby’s lone casino is Grand Villa Casino, near the Metrotown area in the central part of the city. It’s a full-service resort casino, with a large gaming floor of slots and tables, an attached hotel, restaurants, and an event space for live entertainment.

Its central location makes it easy to reach from across Metro Vancouver, and it’s close to SkyTrain links into Vancouver proper. So while Burnaby has just one casino, it works as a regional draw rather than a strictly local stop. And with the bigger Lower Mainland rooms like River Rock in Richmond a short drive away, you’re spoiled for choice in the wider region.

What Hours Do Burnaby Casinos Keep?

Most Canadian casinos run long hours, and a resort like Grand Villa leans into that, often operating around the clock or close to it.

Still, hours can shift by season and day of the week, and the gaming floor doesn’t always keep the same schedule as the hotel, restaurants, or event space. So check the current hours before you head out rather than relying on a number you saw once. A resort casino runs several moving parts, and they don’t all run on the same clock.

Which Regulator Oversees Gambling in British Columbia?

In BC, the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC), a provincial Crown corporation, conducts and manages gambling across the province. The Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch, now operating as the Independent Gambling Control Office (IGCO), handles regulation and oversight.

So you’ve got a Crown corporation running the gaming and an independent body keeping watch, with private service providers operating the casinos day to day. For the full picture of how gambling law varies across the country, our Canada gambling law guide lays it out province by province.
