Grand Villa Casino Burnaby ownership

Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited runs Grand Villa Casino Burnaby. It is one of eight casinos in this guide under Gateway, four in Metro Vancouver and four in the Thompson-Okanagan. In Metro Vancouver, Gateway also runs Starlight Casino New Westminster, Cascades Casino Delta and Cascades Casino Langley.

BCLC conducts and manages casino gambling in British Columbia, and private service providers run the casinos. On this site, 'runs' means the company that operates a casino. The word 'owns' is used only where an owner or a sale has been published. No owner of Grand Villa is published, so the guide names none.

No sale and no change of operator at Grand Villa are recorded since 2024. Four other casinos in this guide passed to First Nations ownership in 2025 and 2026, and Grand Villa was not one of them.

The dated record for Grand Villa is short. In August 2002, Gateway Casinos & Entertainment, which operates the casino, purchased the Lake City Casinos located in Vernon, Kamloops, Kelowna and Penticton. Grand Villa Casino opened in Burnaby in 2008. No earlier name and no earlier operator are published for it, and no date is given for when Gateway began running it.

Gateway purchased Chances Kamloops on January 14, 2019, a deal that made it the sole gaming provider in Kamloops.

Since January 2025, four casinos in this guide have passed to First Nations ownership, and two more are under agreements of sale. Grand Villa is not among them: no sale or change of operator is recorded for it in that period.

BCLC manages all commercial gambling in British Columbia for the provincial government, including the games at Grand Villa. On the gaming floor are a poker room, 67 live table games and over 1,300 slot machines.

The casino never closes. It runs around the clock on all 365 days in a year, on Pacific time. Its poker room also runs 24 hours daily. Guests can confirm holiday hours and any temporary changes on the casino's own site.

There is no charge to park, whether outdoors in the lots or in the parkade, which leads to the front door. On the same site stands the Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre. Restaurants include Personas Patio + Restaurant + Lounge and ATLAS Steak + Fish. Its players' card is Encore Rewards, the card that fifteen of the sixteen casinos in this guide name.

The address of Grand Villa Casino Burnaby is 4331 Dominion St, Burnaby. Its phone number is 604-436-2211. Starting in June 2023, all people who enter a gambling facility in BC show photo ID issued by government. Each ID is compared with the self-exclusion list. In British Columbia, the minimum age to gamble is 19.

In a straight line, Hastings Casino is 4.0 km away and Parq Casino 8.0 km. Starlight Casino New Westminster follows at 8.6 km. These figures are measured between OpenStreetMap points rather than along roads, so they are not driving distances, and no travel times appear in the guide.
