01What Parq is
Parq Vancouver is at 39 Smithe Street, beside BC Place. Parq describes its casino as downtown Vancouver's only casino. The complex also has two Marriott hotels: the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver and The DOUGLAS, an Autograph Collection Hotel, at 45 Smithe Street.
The complex has eight restaurant and lounge concepts, a rooftop park, Spa by JW and more than 60,000 sq ft of event space. Paragon Gaming developed Parq in partnership with Dundee Corporation and PBC Group. We could not confirm who owns or operates the casino now.
02Getting in: 19+ and photo ID
Parq states that its casino is for guests 19 and older. That matches the provincial rule for all BCLC facilities.
Starting June 26, 2023, a BC casino door requires government-issued photo ID from every visitor, whatever their age. The ID goes through a scanner at security and is checked against the list of people banned from gambling facilities, which covers Game Break enrollees. Bring the original document. Photos or copies are not accepted. The accepted list is on casinosbc.com.
Parq's FAQ says there is no specific dress code.
03Hours
Parq Casino never locks up: no closing time, open day and night, every single day. At the top of the escalators on Level 3, the poker room keeps the same 24/7 schedule. Holiday hours are not published. For anything else, check parqcasino.com or ask Guest Services.
The table games page carries a note reading "Open daily from 7PM". It sits in the section on roulette and the touch bet terminals. The note does not name the games it covers.
04Slots and table games
Parq's slots page says "hundreds" of machines without giving a number. Its table games page says "two floors of table games", again without a count. Published counts elsewhere vary, so we leave them out.
Games listed on the official page:
- Blackjack, roulette (including double-zero), baccarat and craps
- Three Card Poker, Four Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold'em and Face Up Pai Gow
- Koi: private salons for high-limit baccarat and blackjack
- A poker room listing No Limit Texas Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha
- Stadium Gaming: 30 touch bet terminals with 8 games, including live-dealer games, an automatic roulette wheel, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, blackjack, virtual Sic Bo and virtual craps, on Level 2 beside Guest Services
Private table game bookings and gift cards are also available.
05Food, drink and the Sportsbook Lounge
casinosbc.com lists these venues:
- Honey Salt: farm-to-table, using BC ingredients
- MRKT East: Asian street food
- D/6 Bar & Lounge: on the 6th floor of The DOUGLAS, with a covered rooftop patio, live music, DJs and sports on screens
The Sportsbook Lounge is a sports betting lounge and bar with a very large screen. Parq's own site also lists The Victor and KOI Noodle Bar. Opening hours and event schedules are not published in one place we could find, so check with the venue.
06Encore Rewards
Encore Rewards is BCLC's loyalty program, and it works at all BC casinos and Chances locations. At Parq, membership is handled at Guest Services on Level 2. Members must be 19 or older.
Encore Rewards members at Parq earn points on slots, tables, and food and drink. They also get food discounts, hotel booking discounts, members-only contests and free parking with qualified play.
07By SkyTrain
Two SkyTrain stations are within walking distance of Parq:
- Stadium-Chinatown (Expo Line), about 850 m
- Yaletown-Roundhouse (Canada Line), about 800 m
Rideshare and taxis are available outside the casino.
For connections, see By SkyTrain and bus. For getting home after the trains stop, see Late night and TransLink's NightBus page.

09Smoking and support
BC law bans smoking and vaping in all indoor public places, including casinos. It also bans them within 6 metres of doorways.
Like every BC casino, Parq has a GameSense Info Centre on or near the gaming floor, with GameSense Advisors on site. When gambling no longer feels like entertainment, Gambling Support BC answers free of charge, 24/7, at 1-888-795-6111. There is more on our Support page.
