The casino in a few lines
Elements Casino Surrey is at 17755 60 Avenue in Surrey. It opened in November 2005. Great Canadian Entertainment runs it and still lists it among its casinos as of October 2026.
From Coquitlam it is 19.6 km from City Centre and 14.9 km from the United Boulevard casino, both in a straight line. For the actual route, TransLink's trip planner or a map will give you the way.
The casino used to sit beside the Fraser Downs harness racing track. Live racing ended on August 15, 2025, when the City of Surrey ended the track's lease. The racing surface was torn up in September 2025 and the barns were demolished in December 2025. The casino was not part of that lease and kept running.
A sale is in the works. On March 9, 2026, Great Canadian agreed to sell the casino to SE-MI-AH-MU Development Corporation, of Semiahmoo First Nation. The deal needs approval from regulators and from the City of Surrey, which owns the land. Trade press reported it had not closed as of mid-June 2026, and the flyer has seen no closing announcement since.
Getting in
You must be 19 or older. Since June 26, 2023, every guest at every BC casino shows government-issued photo ID at the door, whatever their age. Security scans it and checks it against the list of people restricted from entry, including Game Break enrollees. For people who are let in, no personal information is saved.
Bring the original card. Photos and copies are not accepted. A driver's licence, BC Services Card, BCID or passport all work. The first visit page has the longer list.
On the floor
Great Canadian describes over 500 slots and electronic tables, plus 10 live table games. The live tables listed for Surrey are:
- Blackjack: two Table Bet tables and one Low Limit table
- Ultimate Texas Hold'em: three tables
- Four Card Poker: one table
- Baccarat: one Ruyi table and one Squeeze Ruyi table
- Roulette: one table
The Action Arena, found only at this Elements location, adds electronic roulette and baccarat, some on live wheels and tables and some virtual, plus a virtual Ultimate Texas Hold'em.
There is no poker room. Ultimate Texas Hold'em and Four Card Poker are played against the house. Encore Rewards cards work here, as at the other BC casinos.
The casino is open 10 a.m. to 4 a.m. Monday to Thursday and around the clock Friday to Sunday. Live tables keep shorter hours: 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday to Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Questions go to 604-576-9141.
Food, drink and the rest
The buffet restaurant has terrace-style seating, floor-to-ceiling windows and an all-you-can-eat buffet on weekends. Foodies covers casual meals. Elements Bar opens on Friday and Saturday nights.
There is comedy and live music every week. Yuk Yuk's comedy nights are on the calendar for October 30 and 31, 2026, at 8 p.m., for guests 19 and over.
For groups, the Dragon Lounge holds up to 220 for a reception or 160 seated, and the Homestretch holds up to 350. The venue publishes menus, prices and restaurant hours on its own page.
Compared with United Boulevard
Here is how the two line up, using only what each venue publishes. Details for the Coquitlam casino are on the casino page.
| Elements Surrey | United Boulevard | |
|---|---|---|
| Slots | Over 500 slots and electronic tables combined | Over 920 slots |
| Live tables | 10 | 37 |
| Electronic arena | Action Arena | Stadium Gaming, 42 machines |
| Poker room | None | 10 tables |
| Live table hours | Close at 1 a.m. or 3 a.m. | Close at 4 a.m. Mon to Thu, continuous Fri 10 a.m. to Mon 4 a.m. |
| Shows | Weekly comedy and live music | The Show Theatre, plus free live music at Asylum on weekend nights |
| Ownership | Great Canadian, sale pending | Petroglyph Development Group since May 5, 2026 |
In short, Elements is the smaller room. If you play poker or like the tables late on a weeknight, United Boulevard covers more. If a comedy night or a weekend buffet is the plan, Elements is a fair change of scene.
Before you go
Check the official Elements Casino page for current hours and events. That page is shared with other locations, so look for items marked Surrey. It still carries a simulcast racing lineup, but the latest calendar linked there is for April 2026, so call ahead if racing is the reason for your trip.
Set your limit before you leave home. Every BC casino has a GameSense Info Centre. Gambling Support BC is free and open 24/7 at 1-888-795-6111, and the gambling support page has more. To weigh other options, see all nine casinos.
