First minute at the entrance
Every guest shows a SIGA Rewards card to Security on the way in. The card is then swiped, either at the Security podium or at the guest kiosk. Forgot the card, or never had one? Security sends you to the SIGA Rewards desk, which issues a card at no cost or prints a replacement, and then you are let in. If you are unsure what to bring to the desk, call the casino at 306-764-4777.
Guests must be 19 or older. Drinks from outside may not be carried in for any reason.

Northern Lights Casino is at 44 Marquis Road, Prince Albert, SK S6V 7Y5, with plenty of free parking. Electric cars can use three stations: a ChargePoint Level 2 for 2 vehicles, a Porsche Level 2 and one Level 3 DC fast charger.
RV guests check in at the Guest Services desk with a SIGA Rewards card, and security or the Casino Shift Manager approves the stay. A permit lasts 3 days, everyone aboard must be 19 or older, and spots are first come, first served. City buses do not run on Sundays or statutory holidays, so plan another ride.
Pulling in at 44 Marquis RoadNorthern Lights Casino officially opened in March 1996. It is one of the seven casinos run by SIGA, the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority. The authority is a First Nations, non-profit organization that reinvests all net proceeds in Saskatchewan. SIGA lists the casino with Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation.
The casino calls Prince Albert "The Gateway to the North". For time outside, it points visitors to the city's 35 parks and 1300 acres of parkland. The Rotary Trail suits walking, running, skating or biking, and Little Red River Park is another option. In winter, there is curling at the Prince Albert Golf and Curling Centre.
Your first day in Prince AlbertOnline casinos and the province
PlayNow.com, operated by SIGA, is the only legal online gambling site in Saskatchewan, for players 19 and older. The Government of Saskatchewan calls competing sites "illegal platforms". A private site has none of the province's player protections. Self-exclusion covers the nine Saskatchewan casinos, and Game Break also covers PlayNow.com, but neither program blocks a private online casino.
This guide's home page carries paid links marked Ad. They lead to one private online casino partner that pays Pine & Marquis a commission and can change. That partner is not PlayNow.com and is not run by Northern Lights Casino or SIGA.
