Who owns Hastings Casino

On this site, "runs" means the company that operates a casino. BCLC conducts and manages the gambling itself.

A sale is agreed. Great Canadian and Tsleil-Waututh Nation signed a memorandum of understanding on June 6, 2025, then a definitive agreement on November 7, 2025. It covers the casino portion of Hastings and its casino-related real property. The deal is subject to regulators and the City of Vancouver. This guide names Tsleil-Waututh Nation as the buyer, not the owner.

Great Canadian acquired the lease of the city-owned Hastings track in 2004. On December 5, 2025, it said it would no longer run a racing season there. Simulcast races from other tracks continue.

The floor is slot machines, with no live table games and no poker room listed. The venue and its operator publish different slot counts, so this guide gives none.

Food and drink come from an indoor lounge with a full-service bar and a stage near the gaming floor. Jerome's offers casual dining off the racebook. The loyalty card is Encore Rewards, the same card named at fifteen of the sixteen casinos in this guide.
