Elements Casino Victoria and its owner

Petroglyph Development Group owns Elements Casino Victoria, which opened in 2001 as View Royal Casino. The company closed its purchase of this casino and Casino Nanaimo from Great Canadian on January 16, 2025. The Victoria sale had been announced on September 10, 2024. Great Canadian was to provide transition services for up to two years after closing.

Snuneymuxw First Nation is the sole shareholder of Petroglyph, which is the Nation's economic development arm. In the company's own words, "all profits go back to the Nation". Petroglyph runs the casino through Lahal Casino Management LP, its casino management arm.

On this site, "runs" names the company that operates a casino. "Owns" appears only where an owner or a sale is published, as it is here. This guide gives no purchase price.

The casino opened in 2001 as View Royal Casino. It was expanded and renamed Elements Casino Victoria in 2018. It stands at 1708 Island Hwy, in the Town of View Royal.

On September 10, 2024, the sale of the casino by Great Canadian to Petroglyph Development Group was announced. Petroglyph closed the purchase on January 16, 2025, the same day it closed its purchase of Casino Nanaimo. Great Canadian was to provide transition services for up to two years after closing.

Petroglyph runs its Vancouver Island casinos, this one included, through Lahal Casino Management LP. Snuneymuxw First Nation is the company's sole shareholder. Elements Casino Victoria is one of four casinos in this guide that have passed to First Nations ownership since January 2025.

BCLC conducts and manages casino gambling in British Columbia, so a change of owner does not change who conducts the games. Elements Casino Victoria is open Sunday to Thursday 9 AM to 2 AM, and Friday and Saturday 9 AM to 4 AM, Pacific time. Holiday hours should be checked on the casino's own site.

The floor has 770 slots, 14 live tables and 15 electronic tables, plus high-limit slot rooms. Live tables run Sunday to Thursday 12 PM to 2 AM, and Friday and Saturday 12 PM to 4 AM. Games include blackjack, roulette, Ruyi Baccarat and Face Up Pai Gow.

The poker room deals No Limit Texas Hold'em at $1/$3 and $2/$5. The Platinum Room is a 3,995 sq ft entertainment venue with a stage, for up to 500 guests. Parking is free, in a parkade and an outdoor lot. The casino names Encore Rewards as its players' card.
