About the Side-by-Side Editors

The Side-by-Side Editors is the collective signature of this guide, not a person. It sets the nine permanent casinos of Saskatchewan side by side, from Casino Regina to Gold Horse Casino in Lloydminster.

Why a desk signs the guide

Saskatchewan's nine permanent casinos sit far apart, from Casino Regina in the capital to Gold Horse Casino in Lloydminster and Bear Claw Casino & Hotel north of Carlyle. A trip usually means choosing one or two. The Shortlist puts them side by side as cards to keep or skip, with the rows where they differ marked. Nothing is ranked: cards come in alphabetical order, or shuffled at random when the reader asks.

The signature belongs to an editorial desk, not a person. There is no name, no portrait and no job title behind it. Nor does it point to years of experience or visits to the casinos.

How facts are checked

Facts were checked on October 7, 2026, against the casinos' own pages and other official sources. Distances are straight lines computed from OpenStreetMap coordinates, not driving distances. Where a casino's own pages give different figures, the guide leaves the figure out or says the pages differ.

Two questions about hours were read again on October 9, 2026. Casino Regina's pages still gave different Sunday hours, so its floor has no Sunday time here. Northern Lights Casino still does not say whether it is open on Sunday from 12 AM to 9 AM. The page How the Shortlist works sets out the full method.

Who pays for the site

This site is not a casino: it takes no bets and has no accounts. Only the home page carries paid links, each marked Ad, all leading to one online casino partner. The partner can change, and the site earns a commission. Casinos, SIGA, SaskGaming, LGS, PlayNow and help services never pay this site, and links to casinos and help services are never paid. Inner pages, this one included, carry no paid links.
