The Gaming Floor
Bear Claw Casino & Hotel sits on White Bear First Nations territory just off Highway 9 in Saskatchewan. The casino floor is compact, you can see most of it at a glance, which makes it simple to get your bearings. Slots line one side, table games sit on the other, and you do not need a membership card just to walk through the doors.
We operate under the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority, or SIGA, which oversees First Nations gaming across the province. Every slot machine and every table here is part of that regulated structure. You arrive, show valid government ID proving you are at least 18, and you are ready to play.

There is no complicated membership process at the door and no loyalty level you must reach before you feel welcome. What you see is what you get - a straightforward land-based casino with a clear layout and a regulated set-up behind it.
Getting Here and What to Expect on Arrival
We are located about 13 km north of Carlyle on Highway 9, close to the entrance to Moose Mountain Provincial Park. Guests driving from the park side usually spot our sign before they notice they have almost arrived. Parking is free on site, and there is no gate or ticket to sort out.
Front desk hours run from Sunday to Thursday, 9 AM to 1 AM, and on Friday and Saturday until 2 AM. During those times the main lobby is staffed and you can ask about the casino, rooms, or events. It is important to remember that rural properties sometimes offer limited ATM availability, so bringing a bit more cash than you expect to need can simply save time.
A typical visit often looks like this:
- Drive north out of Carlyle along Highway 9 for roughly 13 km until you reach the Bear Claw Casino & Hotel sign.
- Pull into the free parking lot next to the main entrance.
- Go into the lobby and present government-issued ID at the front desk when requested.
- Walk through the marked lobby entrance to reach the casino floor.
- Choose your game area - slots or table games - and get settled.
- If you are checking in to the hotel, rooms are available from 3:00 PM, and check-out is by 11:00 AM.
- Use contactless check-out in the morning if you prefer to avoid waiting in line.

Rooms and What Is Included
We offer 35 rooms in a mix of standard layouts and suites. Rooms were updated in recent years and guests often note the newer furnishings and decor on booking platforms. Every stay includes free Wi-Fi and a continental breakfast, so there is no need to add those on separately.
On top of that, our property includes free parking for hotel guests, a 24-hour fitness room, and EV charging on site. We have pet-friendly rooms if you are travelling with an animal; a pet fee in CAD applies. Room service is listed through third-party platforms and can be requested under the usual conditions.

Luggage storage is available, and our front desk operates 24 hours a day, even outside casino floor hours. If you are planning to split your time between Bear Claw and Moose Mountain Provincial Park, our location works well as a base - close enough to the park, but with your room, food, and gaming all in one place when you come back in the evening.
