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

On October 7, 2026, each fact was compared with the casinos' own pages and other official sources. Distances are straight lines computed from OpenStreetMap coordinates, not driving distances. When figures on a casino's own pages do not match, the guide drops the number or notes that 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

Being no casino, this guide handles no wagers and opens no player accounts. Its paid links, every one tagged Ad, sit solely on the home page and send readers to one online casino partner. A commission is earned on them, and that partner may be replaced. Neither casinos, SIGA, SaskGaming, LGS, PlayNow nor help services pay the guide, and nobody pays for its casino or help-service links. Inner pages such as this one hold no paid links at all.
