Leaving town for 107 Avenue
Great Northern Casino keeps its doors at 10910 107 Avenue, Grande Prairie, Alberta T8V 7R2. In a straight line from each town centre to that door, Sexsmith is 19.3 km, Wembley 20.4 km and Beaverlodge 38.6 km. To the north and north-east, Spirit River is 66.7 km, Fairview 102.7 km and Peace River 151.7 km. East and south, Valleyview comes in at 98.7 km and Grande Cache at 144.6 km. Across the line in British Columbia, Dawson Creek sits 110.1 km away.
Real roads always run longer than these lines, so the guide gives no driving times. Instead, each town in the strip has a link that opens the route. Plan the ride home before setting out, too: the casino names no shuttle, no taxi stand and no nearest bus stop on its pages.

Behind the door
Behind the front doors
Entertainment space inside the building covers 30,000 square feet. The floor carries more than 400 slot machines, with 40 VLTs set apart in their own room. Six table games are listed: Roulette, Chase The Flush, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Blackjack, Free Bet Blackjack and Three Card Poker. The casino posts no table minimums.
The poker room has 3 tables. Its cash games are No Limit Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha, plus a Dealer's Choice game that moves between Hold'em, Pineapple, Crazy Pineapple and Omaha. Start times shift from one day to the next, and the room keeps no posted opening hours of its own. A seat can be held from one day before the game, during poker room hours. The Houseman takes those requests in the room, or by phone at 780-539-4454, extension 121.
Staying over
Sleeping next door
The casino has no hotel rooms. Service Plus Inns & Suites, a separate hotel, stands right next door at 10810 107 Avenue, and its phone is (780) 538-3900. For anyone who would rather not head back to Spirit River or Dawson Creek at closing, that door is the alternative.
Service Plus has an indoor pool with a waterpark, a 210-foot waterslide and a hot tub. A hot breakfast comes with the room, and some rooms take pets. The casino also names Encore Suites as a place to stay, reachable at 587-259-0425.
The other room
A second room at the south edge
Inside Evergreen Park, at 55051 Township Rd 710, is Wild Horse Casino & Lounge, placing it on the southern edge of Grande Prairie in the County of Grande Prairie No. 1. The floor offers VLTs and slot machines, with no table games, and gaming is open daily from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. Entry is limited to adults 18 and over; call (780) 532-3265.
Off-track betting there shows live races from tracks across North America and Alberta, with bets placed at self-serve kiosks. More than 2,000 parking spaces on the grounds come at no charge.
Online in Alberta
Online casinos under Alberta rules
Since July 13, 2026, Alberta has had a regulated online gaming market. AGLC is the regulator, while the Alberta iGaming Corporation, or AiGC, runs the market itself. To take part, an operator needs AGLC registration plus an operating agreement signed with AiGC. 22 registered sites had approval when the market opened. Play Alberta, at playalberta.ca, is the province's own site; AGLC runs it, and revenue goes to the Government of Alberta.
Registered iGaming sites are listed in an AiGC directory at abigaming.ca. Any operator not found there is not regulated in Alberta, while approved operators display the AiGC logo. Registered operators can admit only players physically located inside Alberta, so a reader at home in Dawson Creek or Fort St. John is outside that reach.

Before the car leaves town
Questions from the road
01How far is Beaverlodge from the casino door?
In a straight line from the town centre, Beaverlodge is 38.6 km from the door at 10910 107 Avenue. Real roads run longer, and the town's link in the strip opens the route.
02Until what time do the slots run on a Friday night?
They run until 4 a.m., which falls in the small hours of Saturday. The same 4 a.m. close follows a Saturday, while other nights end at 3 a.m.
03Can you still order breakfast at 2 p.m. on a Saturday?
Yes, on Saturday and Sunday the breakfast menu runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. On weekdays it ends at noon.
04Can you sleep in the casino building itself?
No, the casino has no hotel rooms. Service Plus Inns & Suites, a separate hotel, stands right next door at 10810 107 Avenue; its phone is (780) 538-3900.
05Does a casino shuttle run in from the towns?
The casino names no shuttle, no taxi stand and no nearest bus stop on its pages. Coming in from Sexsmith or Peace River means arranging your own way there and back.
