New Sportsbook Lounge in B.C.

The grand opening is scheduled for this Sunday from 1 PM to 10 PM MST.

Similar to the earlier openings this year at Parq Casino in Vancouver, Chances Kelowna, Chances Maple Ridge, and Casino of the Rockies Sportsbook Lounge, BCLC is optimistic that the vibrant atmosphere created when sports enthusiasts gather to watch and bet on games—along with numerous TV screens and a diverse food and drink menu—will attract more visitors to the casino locations.

Chances Terrace Sportsbook Lounge is anticipated to open later this year, as noted by a BCLC representative.

Experience Live Sports Betting

The sportsbook lounges feature sports betting through self-serve terminals, offering options such as single-event betting, live event wagers, and parlay options.

The Fort St. John lounge includes a striking 24-foot screen, allowing patrons to follow multiple games simultaneously. The facility is equipped with six self-serve terminals.

“We are excited to unveil our latest PROLINE Sportsbook Lounge at Chances Casino Fort St. John,” states Dan Beebe, COO of BCLC. “With immersive displays and a state-of-the-art sportsbook experience, we aim to deliver an exhilarating and unforgettable environment for sports fans and bettors in Fort St. John and throughout the Peace River region.”
