Casino Regina is a casino located on Saskatchewan Drive — (formerly South Railway Street) — in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. It operates in the city's former union station, a Tyndall and ashlar stone structure completed in 1912. The casino is owned and operated by Sask Gaming.

History[edit]

Union Station in 1911

The Beaux-Arts style Union Station was constructed in 1911-12 and was actually Regina's third train station; the first is now a museum in Broadview, Saskatchewan. The station was completed the same year the deadly 'Regina Cyclone' struck the city, tearing through Wascana Park and gutting part of the downtown area. The building underwent a major expansion in 1931, and the original façade was redone in a simpler Art Deco style with Tyndall stone. As well, terrazzo floors, marble support columns and plaster molded ceilings where added to the interior.[1]

In the early 1990s, cutbacks to rail services throughout Canada lead to the closure of Regina's Union Station. The Station had been an important part of Regina's history and heritage since its opening in 1912. After the station's closure, its fate remained unknown for several years. Union Station was designated as an official heritage site in 1991.

By 1995, a $37 million construction project began to convert the vacant station into the province's second casino. In 1996, Casino Regina opened.

Description[edit]

The building contains old railway police jail cells in the basement that were used for transporting prisoners, and shows evidence of a tunnel representing a system of underground passages said to stretch several blocks east of the casino and south all the way to the stately Hotel Saskatchewan. These tunnels were destroyed during the construction of the Cornwall Centre, a major downtown shopping complex.

Inside, positioned on a wall in the central hall, is a schedule board displaying the arrivals and departures on the day the train station closed back in 1990. The hall itself, formerly the station's main concourse, features a high ceiling with simple chandeliers and a clock near the top of the back wall.

The casino houses some 800 slot machines, 35 table games, and a 9-table poker room. The 800-seat Show Lounge features entertainers, and meals are served in The Last Spike and Rail Car restaurants, as well as in the CPR Lounge and VIP Lounge. Regularly scheduled Union Station historic tours are another attraction, as are the nightly LED shows.

Casino Regina is a notable employer in the city, employing 664 people, over fifty percent of whom are Aboriginal.

© Provided by Leader Post Casino Regina has reopened some blackjack tables in accordance with COVID-19 health and safety guidelines.

Casino Regina is playing the cards it is dealt during the COVID-19 pandemic.

After consulting with provincial health authorities, Casino Regina as well as Casino Moose Jaw were cleared to reopen a limited number of live gaming tables on Thursday for the first time since the pandemic lockdown began.

The two Crown properties — both of which fall under the jurisdiction of SaskGaming — closed their doors in mid-March before reopening on July 9 . That included powering up every third slot machine to allow for social distancing.

The addition of table games is another sign of progress toward the eventual goal of returning to business as usual — if there is such a thing anymore.

'This is a small step toward getting some of those services back and running,' said Shanna Schulhauser, director of communications for SaskGaming.

'It's always great when we can add additional services and recall a few additional employees from temporary layoffs.'

When the doors closed in March, 549 employees were laid off in Regina and Moose Jaw . About 250 of them were brought back for the initial reopen and 35 more joined the list this week due to expanded services.

© TROY FLEECE A long line of people waited in line just before 9 a.m. as Casino Regina reopened for the first time since closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Regina on Thursday, July 9, 2020.

In Regina, that includes up to four blackjack tables, one roulette and one baccarat while Casino Moose Jaw opened one blackjack and one roulette table.

The additions were made in compliance with recently updated casino and bingo hall guidelines in the Re-open Saskatchewan Plan.

There's a maximum of three guests per table, with each person required to use hand sanitizer and wear a mask.

Masks are encouraged for all guests but it's only mandatory at the tables and for staff.

In order to limit the risk of viral contact spreading, all bets at the tables are placed by dealers after receiving verbal commands or hand signals.

Guests are not permitted to handle cards or chips, which is also the reason why poker tables remain closed.

No food or beverages are allowed at the tables and plexiglass barriers have been installed between the dealers and guests. Spectators are not permitted to congregate at the tables.

'We're taking our guidance from the chief medical health officer,' Schulhauser explained. 'We're making sure we're adhering to everything that they are telling us with respect to bringing services back online.'

In its first-quarter report for the fiscal year beginning on April 1, SaskGaming reported a net loss of $9.3 million and an estimated loss of $30 million in revenue .

That occurred while the doors were closed.

The next quarterly report is due out sometime this month, which will show revenues/losses since the casinos reopened.

However, there remains no sign of activity in the show lounges. Concerts that usually fill the calendar and bring in guests from around the province remain on pause due to indoor gathering restrictions.

'Right now we aren't looking to reopen the show lounge at least until some point probably in the middle of next year,' Schulhauser added. 'The same thing with our restaurant. Download casino kingdom. We have limited food and beverage services right now but our restaurant probably won't be reopening until some time in the new year as well.'
