Floor hours, day by day
Sunday to Thursday, the gaming floor at Cascades opens at 10 a.m. and shuts at midnight. Friday and Saturday keep the same 10 a.m. start but carry on until 2 a.m. the next morning. By the calendar, a Friday shift past midnight ends on Saturday. All of these times are Pacific time.
Penticton sits seven hours behind UTC all year, since British Columbia no longer moves its clocks back in the fall. Holiday hours are not published. A call to 250-487-1280 confirms them, and they should also be checked on the venue's own site, cascadescasinopenticton.com.

Tickets in, tickets out
Over 400 slot machines stand on the gaming floor at Cascades, alongside the 5 gaming tables and 4 electronic table games. Each pay-line takes a bet between $0.01 and $1. No coins change hands: every machine accepts a ticket, and it hands back a ticket when a player finishes.

Pub, patio and the Summit Bar
MATCH Eatery & Public House is a themed pub built on sport and entertainment, with a rooftop patio and a bocce court outside. That patio was a first for Gateway, which had never put a rooftop on a MATCH before the Vees Drive building. Hours run 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday. On Friday and Saturday the pub keeps going until 1 a.m. Its own number is 778-476-8555.
The Summit Bar stands in the middle of the casino. No hours are posted for it, so the front line at 250-487-1280 is the place to ask. For live entertainment and games on big HD screens, Cascades sends readers to the entertainment page on cascadescasinopenticton.com.
