Gaming Floor Overview

At our 31,000 square foot gaming floor in Carberry, everything is centered on slots and live bingo. We run more than 300 slot machines and regular bingo sessions on Swan Lake First Nation lands just off Highway 5, about 170 kilometers west of Winnipeg. Some external listings mention table games such as Blackjack, Roulette, and Live Poker, though our core mix remains slots and bingo, which fits how our guests actually like to play.

Slot machines cover most of the main floor with several denominations in the mix. You sit down at any open game, feed cash into the bill validator, and start playing. If you want rewards, you can slide in a Gold Club card so we track your play for points, but using the card is never required. When you need payouts or smaller bills, the Cage Cashier counter takes care of that.

Live bingo runs on a posted schedule with both classic paper cards and electronic units. Sessions usually include warm-up rounds, standard pattern games, and special rounds with different prize levels. The caller works from the bingo console, and the numbers appear on screens around the room so you can follow even from the back.

Slot Machine Access

All slot machines accept Canadian cash and may be connected to a player tracking system. There is no booking system for games; just walk in and take any free seat. The busiest times often come on Friday and Saturday evenings when Oasis Bar has live music, so machines can fill up faster on those nights.

We update themes as manufacturers roll out new titles. Our floor team checks what people actually play and gradually removes machines that sit empty or keep breaking down. If you run short on cash mid-session, ATMs are on the gaming floor with Canadian currency.

Floor staff are around to point you toward certain game styles or help when a machine locks up or flashes an error. Standard maintenance cycles run in the background, and if a unit keeps causing issues or feels outdated, we phase it out.

Live Bingo Sessions

We post our bingo schedule in the building and on Facebook. To join a session, arrive a bit ahead of start time, buy your cards or an electronic package at the counter, then pick a seat with a clear view of the monitors.

For most guests it works like this: show up early, choose paper or electronic cards, sit somewhere you can hear the caller, follow along as numbers come out, mark your card, call out bingo when you match the pattern, then wait while staff check your card. After a couple sessions, the rhythm feels pretty natural.

Oasis Bar handles beverage service throughout bingo. You can order food and have it brought to your seat, usually during the short breaks so games are not interrupted. The bingo hall itself is smoke-free; outside, marked areas are set aside for smoking.

Hours and Seasonal Changes

Published hours show the casino operating from 10:00 AM to 3:00 AM Monday through Saturday, and from 12:00 PM to 3:00 AM on Sunday. Around Christmas, New Year’s, and statutory holidays, hours may shift; when that happens we post the exact times in advance.

Day Hours Monday - Saturday 10:00 AM - 3:00 AM Sunday 12:00 PM - 3:00 AM Holidays Posted online

Manitoba winters can be rough, so on bad days we sometimes shorten hours or close. Any weather-related changes go up on Facebook and through local media. If you are coming in from outside Carberry during heavy winter conditions, it is worth checking status before you drive.

Summer hours can stretch later if visitor traffic supports it. We watch attendance, adjust when needed, and share any changes at least a week ahead by our usual channels.

Gaming Floor Experience

Sandhills Casino operates a 31,000 square foot gaming floor on Swan Lake First Nation lands in Carberry, Manitoba. The venue features more than 300 slot machines with various denominations and regular live bingo sessions throughout the week.

  • 300+ slot machines accepting Canadian cash
  • Live bingo with paper cards and electronic units
  • Gold Club player tracking system for rewards
  • Cage Cashier services for payouts and bill changes
  • No table games currently available

The casino combines slot gaming with social bingo experiences, creating a community-focused atmosphere. Operating hours vary seasonally, with extended weekend hours when live music performances take place at the Oasis Bar & Grill.

Entertainment and Atmosphere

On Friday and Saturday evenings, Oasis Bar hosts free live music, generally starting around 8:30 PM. We bring in Manitoba-based artists who cover classic rock, country, pop, folk and similar styles, depending on the week. There is no added entry charge beyond your casino visit.

The lounge opens directly onto the gaming floor, so you can hear the band while you play slots nearby or while you sit down for a meal. We publish weekly music lineups on our website and on Facebook.

Across the 31,000 square feet, we try to keep a balance. Gaming zones stay at a moderate volume so you can hear your machine, while the lounge allows higher sound levels when bands are on stage.

Gold Club Rewards

Our Gold Club rewards program records slot and bingo activity and converts it into points. For slots, insert the card before you start playing; for bingo, show it at the counter so the session gets attached to your account. Points can be redeemed for play credits, dining vouchers, special event notices, birthday perks, and tournament invites at higher tiers.

To join, stop at the Gold Club desk with ID and your contact details. Membership is free, and benefits grow as you visit more. If you misplace your card, we can issue a new one for a small fee and move your existing balance across. It helps to report a lost card quickly so no one else uses it.

Dining and Amenities

Oasis Bar and Grill offers a full menu while the casino is open. You can order appetizers, full meals, and a variety of drinks, with seating both in the lounge and in quieter dining sections. Gift cards from the Cage Cashier work on gaming and dining, so you do not have to juggle separate balances.

ATMs on site dispense Canadian currency, with regular operator fees. The Cage Cashier can also handle check cashing for Gold Club members and handle smaller currency exchanges.

For groups, our lounge and dining areas can be set aside for private functions such as company events, celebrations, or local community gatherings. Event staff help set up seating, audio-visual gear, and menus that match group size.

Location and Access

We sit just outside Carberry on Highway 5, approximately 10 minutes south of Carberry and about 50 kilometers west of Portage la Prairie. The casino address is 777 Sand Hills Drive in Carberry, Manitoba. There is no hotel in the same building, but Carberry and nearby communities have places to stay within a short drive. Our team at the front desk can suggest options based on current availability.

Parking lots wrap around the facility, with accessible stalls close to the main doors and room for larger vehicles. In winter, crews handle plowing and sanding, and staff keep an eye on surfaces while we are open.

The property is associated with Swan Lake First Nation, and day-to-day operations tie back into Indigenous community development projects throughout the province.

Policies

During daytime hours we do not enforce a strict dress code; casual clothing is usually fine. After 8 PM we encourage a neater look and ask guests to avoid sports wear, especially when live entertainment is running and the lounge fills up.

Smoking is not allowed on the gaming floor, in the bingo hall, or in the dining areas. Designated outdoor smoking spots are marked, with exits and re-entry points signed clearly. Age rules follow Manitoba gaming regulations, and ID checks take place at entrances for guests who appear younger than the required age.

Avoiding Online Scams

Our operation is fully land-based in Carberry. We do not offer any online gambling services under our name or through partners. Any website using variations such as Sand Hills Online, hyphenated versions of our brand, or domains claiming to host online casino games associated with us is fraudulent.

These scam pages often try to capture personal data and card details by pretending to represent us. We do not run remote gaming, we do not host casino apps, and there are no current plans to launch a digital platform.

Our official website is sandhillscasino.com, without hyphens. If a page asks you for credit card numbers, requires you to open an online gambling account, or promises remote access to our games, treat it as a fake. You can report suspicious sites through the contact details on our official page.

All gaming with us happens in person at our Carberry location. Slots, live bingo, lounge entertainment - it is all on-site, with no legitimate way to play our games online.
