History of the Jackpot Casino Red Deer

The Jackpot Casino has been a key part of the entertainment scene in Red Deer ever since it opened its doors in 1997.

Twenty years after the launch of the casino, it became part of the O’Chiese First Nation family. This nation aims to build the local community by creating new businesses for jobs and training opportunities, with the casino certainly a central part of that. They also aim to upgrade roads, houses, and buildings in the local community, and build more housing both on and off the reserve. On a cultural level, the nation ensures Treaty Day festivities, sun dances, and feasts for all to enjoy.

The four game options available are:

  • Blackjack: One of the most famous casino games of all, it is you against the dealer, with a welcome cash boost if you make blackjack with those initial two cards.
  • Roulette: Nothing beats the drama of the roulette wheel, where you can place the famed red/black bet, alongside odd/even, high paying single numbers and more.
  • Baccarat: Baccarat is one of the most interesting card games at the casino, without the decision making of blackjack. The dealer does all the work, all you need to do is to decide on how much you stake.
  • Ultimate Texas Hold’em: Based on the classic poker game, this variation sees you play Hold’em against the dealer instead of other players. This is one of the most engaging games at the casino.
