Victoria Casino Online Without a Car

From downtown, route 95 Blink signed "to Langford" leaves Legislature Exchange and runs up Douglas Street. Courtney St, Fort St and Pandora Ave are among its stops before it takes Highway 1 and Island Highway. Get off at Island Hwy at Wilfert Rd, the 13th stop after Legislature Exchange. The stop's number is 101260, and the casino building is about 75 m from it. Routes 48, signed Happy Valley via Colwood, and 61, signed Sooke, leave the same exchange and stop there too.

For the trip home, cross Island Highway to stop 101251, about 150 m from the building. Route 95 signed "Blink - to Downtown" stops there, as do routes 48 and 61 signed "Downtown via Colwood". All three end at Legislature Exchange. This guide gives no times or fares, since those change with each schedule. BC Transit publishes the current ones at bctransit.com.

Island Hwy at Wilfert Rd is served by six routes: 95 Blink, 38, 46, 48, 51X and 61. Route 38 runs between Royal Oak Exchange and Westhills Exchange, and 51X is an express from UVic to Westhills via McKenzie. Route 46 links HMC Dockyard with Westhills Exchange. Route 95 Blink also reaches Langford Exchange, 61 goes to Sooke and 48 to Happy Valley via Colwood.

Measured as the crow flies, View Royal is 2.2 km from the casino, Langford 3 km and Colwood 3.8 km. Esquimalt is 4.5 km away, Saanich 6.5 km and downtown Victoria 7.8 km. Sooke sits at 21.2 km. Any road or trail runs longer than those lines, and the guide does not give travel times.

Every day the casino floor opens its doors at 9 a.m. Closing comes at 2 a.m. on Sunday to Thursday nights and at 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

Poker tables deal Monday to Thursday from noon until 1 a.m., Friday and Saturday from noon until 3 a.m., and Sunday until 1 a.m.

Over at The Well Public House, hours run from Sunday to Thursday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to midnight. Times are Pacific all year, so clocks do not change. A night past midnight ends early the next calendar day. BC Transit publishes current times, so plan the trip home before you set out. To ask about holiday hours, which are not published, call 250-391-0311.

On the slot side, the casino lists 770 machines plus high limit slot rooms. The 14 live tables run from Free Bet Blackjack and Roulette through to Face Up Pai Gow and Ruyi Baccarat.

For food, The Well Public House serves from breakfast to late, and complimentary coffee and Wi-Fi are listed throughout the property. Its first name, from the 2001 opening, was View Royal Casino; the switch to Elements Casino Victoria came in 2018. Since January 16, 2025, it has belonged to Petroglyph Development Group, which is owned by the Snuneymuxw First Nation.

In British Columbia, you must be 19 to gamble. Since June 26, 2023, entering any B.C. casino has required government-issued photo ID from every person. Security staff scan the ID and compare it with everyone barred from entry, Game Break enrolees among them. Once someone is admitted, the system keeps none of their personal information.

The list of accepted cards takes in the BCID, a driver's licence from B.C. or elsewhere in North America, and the B.C. Services Card and a Canadian or international passport. Other options are a permanent resident card, the status card known as a Secure Certificate of Indian Status, or a band card from a First Nations, Metis or Inuit community. For events, guests aged 19 to 25 bring a second piece of valid ID.

B.C. allows gambling only when it is run by the provincial government, and BCLC manages all commercial gambling, including online. BCLC also runs PlayNow.com, the province's only legal online gambling site, open to players 19 or older. The Independent Gambling Control Office has regulated gambling in B.C. since April 13, 2026. In that office's view, every other online gambling website that lets B.C. players in is running illegally within the province.

Only on the home page does this guide place paid links, and an Ad mark sits on each. Every one of them leads to one online casino, a private business that holds no licence or permission from British Columbia. PlayNow limits, Game Break self-exclusion and complaints to the IGCO do not reach that site. That partner, which can change, pays a commission to the guide.
