I’m in Banff for a conference for the week and was wondering if anybody here has checked out any of the casinos in Calgary. Just looking for a 1/2 or 2/5 game while I’m in town. Or even a tourney.
There’s a couple casinos according to google, just checking here too. Thanks!
 
Stoney Nakoda is just a short drive outside of Banff on the way to Calgary. Small place and when I was there they had one table of 1/2 going short handed. Pretty smokey inside too. I would say your better off driving into Calgary, though I don’t have experience in any of them.
 
The Grey Eagle casino would be your closest option inside of Calgary. Always decent action there. They take a little more off the top of the small tourneys and pay more players. You should have no problem finding 1/2 or 2/5 here.

Deerfoot pays pretty top heavy for tourneys so it’s good to try and hit a big payday. They almost always have a table open for 1/2 and 2/5 can be found in the evenings.

Cash Casino I can’t really review as I haven’t played there in many years. Used to be the smallest, smelliest spot in town but I’ve heard they have renovated and that it’s not too bad now. They are the only other casino to offer regular tournaments.

Cowboys is always good for cash game action, no problem to find 1/2 or 2/5.

Elbow River has for a long time been the spot to go to play limit. I’ve never played there however.

Alternatively I’ll be hosting our regular 0.25/0.50 cash game on Thursday night, like a typical small stakes game it plays a LOT bigger. PM for details if you’re interested.
 
Plus one on everything beesknees said.
You mentioned you googled to find casinos. I would recommend the pokeratlas app or website

Yeah I did check out the websites. But wanted to hear from people on here too.

Thanks Bees, probably in and around Banff til at least Thursday then gonna make our way back to Calgary for the weekend. No concrete plans yet, but if we’re there for Thursday I would gladly take you up on your home game. Thanks!
 
Ended up going to Deerfoot. Played in the $60 Friday tourney, there were like 60 entries. Placed 11th :(
Blinds got too crazy and turned into a shove fest.
Ended up making $200’ish profit in cash though. Not bad little poker room, just what I was looking for for my second last night in town. Good atmosphere, nice people. Lots of people bitching about the Flames lol.
