The story since 2002
Chances Casino Kelowna dates from 2002. It is operated by Goldwing Investments (Saskatoon) Ltd, doing business as Chances Kelowna Gaming & Entertainment, and its founder is Stan Walt. It began as a bingo and community gaming centre. Slots arrived in 2005, followed later by off-track betting, live tables, a poker room and food and drink. Bingo ended in August 2022 after about 35 years.
The property covers 42,000 square feet, with a team of more than 200 employees. Chances says it has not launched an online casino. It warns about scam sites that use its name. In B.C., the province's own online gambling site is PlayNow.com, run by BCLC.
