What We Offer on the Gaming Floor
We sit at 1300 Water Street, right in Kelowna’s downtown waterfront district. That address is more than a line on a map: hotels, restaurants, and the cultural area are all within a short walk. For locals and visitors moving through the Okanagan, we end up being an easy stop, not a detour.
Our gaming floor covers the usual mix you would expect in a regulated BC casino. Slot machines take up most of the room, and the line-up is refreshed often enough that regulars do not see the exact same floor month after month. Traditional table games run beside eTables - electronic versions that do not rely on a live dealer at every position, which some guests prefer for the pace and comfort. Just off the main area, the poker room operates as its own space with its own flow.
| Gaming Category | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Slot Machines | Electronic reels | Multiple denominations, updated titles |
| Table Games | Live dealer | Standard BC casino formats |
| eTables | Electronic | No live dealer required per position |
| Poker Room | Cash games and tournaments | Dedicated space, full amenities |
We are listed on CasinosBC, the official casino directory managed by BCLC. That listing confirms our status as a regulated land-based casino within the provincial system. It is worth keeping in mind that not every gambling venue in BC appears there, so the inclusion matters from a compliance point of view.
The Poker Room, Practically Speaking
Our Playtime Poker Room is set up as a separate section within the casino. Both cash games and scheduled tournaments run here, and the room is laid out to keep the experience straightforward for regulars and visitors dropping in for a single session.
There are a few details that are useful to know before you show up. The phone-in waitlist is genuinely practical, especially from Thursday to Saturday evenings when seats tend to fill up earlier than people expect. Calling ahead to secure a spot usually means you are spending more time at the table, less time waiting. Every table uses automatic shufflers, which helps keep the action moving and reduces handling errors. During eligible cash game sessions, jackpots are active in the room.
A typical visit to the poker room often looks like this:
- Arrive at 1300 Water Street and walk onto the main gaming floor.
- Follow the overhead signage into the poker room area - we keep it clearly marked.
- Check in with staff at the desk to confirm your reserved seat or add your name to the on-site list.
- Use the check cashing service at the same desk if you need to convert funds.
- Take your assigned chair; tableside food service lets you order while you play.
- Pour a non-alcoholic drink at the self-serve station between hands.
- Ask the team at the desk to validate your parking ticket - poker room players have access to free parking.
One general tip that tends to hold true: visiting a poker room a little before the main rush gives you a better feel for the room and the pace before it gets louder and busier.
Match Eatery and the Dining Side of Things
Match Eatery & Public House is the restaurant and bar connected directly to the casino. You can move from the gaming floor to Match and back again without stepping outside, which is especially welcome on colder Kelowna evenings or in poor weather.
Weekly entertainment runs through Match Eatery, and we publish the current schedule on Instagram at @playtimekelowna. Programming shifts from one week to the next, so if live entertainment is part of your plan, it is worth checking what is on before you come. Our “Fun. Friendly. Downtown.” tagline appears across our channels and describes the feel of the overall property as much as it describes the restaurant.
Poker players can keep their seat while they eat. Tableside food ordering connects directly into the poker room, and that design choice helps longer sessions feel more comfortable and less interrupted.

|---|---|---|
