Red Deer Resort & Casino unveils new casino in central Alberta

While the name has changed and ongoing upgrades to the hotel property continue, Red Deer Resort & Casino’s commitment to guests over the past 50 years remains to provide outstanding service and hospitality in a friendly, welcoming environment.

The resort features 241 unique guestrooms, 15 modern meeting rooms, a sprawling conference centre that covers 53,000 square feet, and now a groundbreaking casino that promises to reshape local entertainment.

The expansion of the casino and upgrades to the hotel are expected to increase employment by up to 20 per cent with an increased need for dealers, servers and housekeeping professionals. The casino will serve as a major entertainment destination for residents and tourists alike. Located in the heart of downtown Red Deer, it will offer a wide range of gaming options such as slot machines, table games, poker room, dining rooms and bar and more. The casino is expected to become a hub for entertainment, attracting visitors from all over the region and beyond.

The casino’s design also respects the cultural heritage of the O’Chiese First Nation. The sunrises over the Alberta prairies and the sunsets over the Rocky Mountains inspired the design for the casino space. An integrated waterfall symbolizes shared values of a deep connection to nature, ancestral lands, and the spiritual importance of water. With more than 38,000 square feet of play space, the casino’s design highlights the region's beautiful landscape.

“We look forward to welcoming guests to Red Deer Resort & Casino and providing them with a world-class entertainment experience,” says Adrian Strawberry, hotel operations manager, O’Chiese Hospitality. “We have worked tirelessly to bring this project to fruition and we cannot wait for you to experience it.”
