Who keeps the flyer
The Flyer desk is the editorial team behind coquitlamcasinos.com. It signs everything as a group, so no single name or byline appears. No casino, racetrack or gaming operator employs the desk, and it does not take bets of any kind.
The result is a plain weekly-style guide to Great Canadian Casino Vancouver on United Boulevard. The flyer also covers eight other casinos in the region. All of them, Coquitlam included, appear on the All nine casinos page. Hours, addresses and phone numbers are checked on each venue's own pages, and every check is dated.
How the facts are checked
Before each round, the Flyer desk opens every venue's own pages and official sources such as BCLC, the province and TransLink. Every round carries a date, and the latest one ran in October 2026.
- Published sources come first. What a venue or official body posts is read before anything else.
- Conflicting numbers stay out. If two sources give different numbers, the flyer prints neither.
- Hours are posted hours. Venues can change them, so a phone call before the trip is wise.
- Distances are straight lines. They are measured on a map as the crow flies, not along streets.
The full method sits on How the flyer is made.
Where the drawings come from
An image program, rather than a camera, produced every picture on the flyer. Most of them are ink and wash drawings. The bus stop, lake, map and kitchen table show general scenes. Any people seen in the drawings are invented.
Drawings of Cascades Langley, Elements Surrey, Cascades Delta, Grand Villa Burnaby, Starlight New Westminster, Hastings, Parq Vancouver and River Rock follow real photographs. The theatre stage at Great Canadian Casino Vancouver is drawn the same way, each scene shifted slightly in camera angle and hour, without visitors. The one photograph is the River Rock sign tower by Mike W., via Flickr, cropped, under a CC BY-SA licence. The marina drawing follows a GoToVan photo via Flickr under a CC BY licence, and both name author and licence below.
How the flyer is paid
The paid links are on the home page only, and each one is marked Ad. If a reader follows one, the flyer may earn a commission. The advertising partner can change over time. Inner pages, including this one, carry no ads.
For the record, the Province of British Columbia says PlayNow.com, run by BCLC, is the only legal online gambling site in BC. More on that is on Casino online in BC, and the full money story is on Ads and money.
