What We Offer on the Floor and Online
Bear Claw Casino & Hotel sits on White Bear First Nations land, just off Highway 9 near Carlyle, Saskatchewan. Our gaming floor covers roughly 30,000 square feet, so there is room to move around without brushing past other players every few steps. On the floor we have 132 confirmed slot machines, plus table games that usually sit between 4 and 6 active tables, depending on season and operating plans. That table count does move a bit over the year, so if a particular game really matters to you, it is worth giving us a call in advance.
For live casino play online, we connect players through The Circuit - our online extension that sends you directly to PlayNow.com. PlayNow.com is the only legal online gambling and sports betting platform in Saskatchewan, and it is where all remote live dealer sessions for our property take place. Live dealer tables typically run from 4 pm to 12 am, with an Auto Play window continuing from 12 am to 2 am. This is not an all-day schedule, but it does cover most evenings and late-night sessions comfortably.

You can reach The Circuit from the main menu at bearclawcasino.ca. It is not a separate app to install and not a confusing redirect path, just a clear section on our site that sends you directly to where you need to be.
Getting Into Live Dealer Through The Circuit
If you have not used PlayNow before, the process is fairly simple. Start at bearclawcasino.ca, locate The Circuit in our site menu, check the current session schedule there, and then follow the link that takes you to PlayNow.com. Once you land on PlayNow, you either create a new account or log in to an existing one. After you are signed in, the live dealer lobby is quite straightforward to access - choose a table, pick your stake level, confirm the bet, and you are playing.
It is important to remember that Bear Claw Casino & Hotel only promotes The Circuit and provides the link-out to PlayNow. We do not process any online payments ourselves. All deposits, withdrawals, account details, and verification steps are handled on the provincial PlayNow platform. A valid PlayNow account is required for any live dealer session or sports betting activity that you reach through us.
A general reminder that applies to any live casino: if this format is new to you, it usually helps to watch a table before jumping in. Most live dealer lobbies let you sit in as an observer for a few minutes without placing a wager, and that small pause gives you a sense of the pace and flow before you commit money.

Being near Moose Mountain is actually one of the nicer parts of coming out to see us. The property does not feel like a strip-mall casino complex; it sits in a more natural, forested setting. That makes the trip feel closer to a small getaway or destination visit, not just a quick gaming stop and back.
