Elements Casino Victoria and its owner

Petroglyph Development Group owns Elements Casino Victoria, which first opened its doors in 2001 under the name View Royal Casino. The company closed its purchase of this casino and Casino Nanaimo from Great Canadian on January 16, 2025. The Victoria sale had been announced on September 10, 2024. Great Canadian was to provide transition services for up to two years after closing.

Snuneymuxw First Nation is the sole shareholder of Petroglyph, which is the Nation's economic development arm. The company puts it this way: the profits, all of them, "go back to the Nation". Petroglyph runs the casino through Lahal Casino Management LP, its casino management arm.

On this site, "runs" names the company that operates a casino. "Owns" appears only where an owner or a sale is published, as it is here. This guide gives no purchase price.

In 2001, the casino first opened under the name View Royal Casino. It was expanded and renamed Elements Casino Victoria in 2018. It stands at 1708 Island Hwy, in the Town of View Royal.

On September 10, 2024, the sale of the casino by Great Canadian to Petroglyph Development Group was announced. Petroglyph closed the purchase on January 16, 2025, the same day it closed its purchase of Casino Nanaimo. Great Canadian was to provide transition services for up to two years after closing.

Petroglyph runs its Vancouver Island casinos, this one included, through Lahal Casino Management LP. Snuneymuxw First Nation is the company's sole shareholder. Elements Casino Victoria is one of four casinos in this guide that have passed to First Nations ownership since January 2025.

BCLC conducts and manages casino gambling in British Columbia, so a change of owner does not change who conducts the games.
