Every fact here was verified on October 7, 2026, using the venues' pages and official sources. Straight-line distances, and the line of the Perimeter Highway itself, come from OpenStreetMap coordinates.
Where the facts come from
Venue facts come from each venue's own site, and for the three MBLL venues from the Casinos of Winnipeg pages. Rules on age, ID and licensing come from MBLL, the LGCA and Manitoba's statutes, chiefly the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Control Act. Help lines and self-exclusion come mainly from Shared Health and MBLL's informed gambling pages. Travel Manitoba supplies the tourism regions. A CBC report gives the date Sand Hills opened.
Two sites could not be read on October 7, 2026. For Assiniboia Downs, the guide relies on archived copies of the track's own pages from January to March 2026. PlayNow facts come from MBLL pages instead.
Venue coordinates, where a venue has them, and the path of the Perimeter Highway come from OpenStreetMap. Every fact is filed with its source, so a figure on the site can be traced to the page that printed it or to the coordinates behind it.
Rules for what gets printed
If two official pages disagree on a number, the guide notes the mismatch and prints no figure. South Beach slot machine counts are the plain case. One venue page prints a help line number that conflicts with every provincial source, so it is not published here. The Gambling Helpline, 1-800-463-1554, appears in its place.
Distances are straight lines between coordinates, not road distances or driving times. Times are Central Time. An hour after midnight belongs to the shift that started the evening before: a Saturday shift that closes at 5 AM ends on Sunday morning. No holiday hours appear here, so confirm them directly with the venue on its own site.
No venue gets a score, a star or a rank. The town ruler covers towns in every direction from Winnipeg. It runs from Altona and Morris in the south to Flin Flon and Thompson in the north. Brandon, Steinbach and The Pas are on it too. Each town shows its nearest venue in this guide, measured in a straight line.
How these pictures were made
An image generator made every picture on this site; its landscapes and glass icons, from the Lake Winnipeg shore to the Perimeter interchange at night, show no particular venue. Venue pictures began as real photographs of the Club Regent wall and sign, the Event Centre stage and the restaurant by the gaming floor. South Beach from above, the Assiniboia Downs grandstand with its apron picnic tables, and Kiinu on the prairie were made the same way. Light and hour were changed and people and cars left out, while buildings, rooms and signs follow the real places. The people who do appear are invented, and none of them works for a casino, MBLL or the LGCA.
