Located in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Chances Maple Ridge offers a diverse entertainment experience, primarily functioning as a casino. It provides a mix of gaming, dining, and live entertainment options for visitors.
Chances Maple Ridge generally receives positive feedback for its offerings, though some areas could benefit from improvement. Visitors appreciate the variety, especially the dining options and the potential for live music. However, specific aspects of the gaming experience, particularly in the bingo hall, have been highlighted as challenging for new patrons.
The bingo hall at Chances Maple Ridge is a popular attraction, drawing players who are willing to travel to get there. While the game itself can be enjoyable and lead to wins, prospective players, especially newcomers, should be aware of certain unwritten rules enforced by long-time regulars. One user reported an issue with regulars saving multiple spots in line using personal items like books and dabbers. This practice can lead to confrontation and an unwelcoming atmosphere, with staff seemingly allowing this entitled behavior to persist over many years. New players might find themselves challenged or even bullied out of their rightful place in line. It's advisable to be prepared for such dynamics if you plan to play bingo, as management has not yet effectively addressed this issue to ensure fairness for all.
For those who prefer electronic gaming, Chances Maple Ridge offers slot machines. One reviewer noted that the venue is definitely worth a visit if you enjoy a "quick slot or two" alongside other activities like breakfast.
Chances Maple Ridge offers a surprisingly strong culinary experience, moving beyond typical casino fare.
The staff at Chances Maple Ridge are consistently described as "nice" and "super friendly," contributing positively to the overall experience. However, the atmosphere can vary depending on the time of visit and the specific area of the establishment.
For those seeking live entertainment, it's crucial to note that live music typically starts around 8 pm. Visiting earlier may result in a "boring" and "not lively" atmosphere if entertainment is a primary draw, as one reviewer initially experienced before realizing they were too early.
Chances Maple Ridge offers a solid experience for those looking for a casino with good dining options and live entertainment potential. While the bingo hall has some interpersonal challenges with regulars, the overall food quality, friendly staff, and attractive breakfast and early bird specials make it a worthwhile visit for many. Just ensure you time your visit right for entertainment and understand the nuances of the bingo lines.
**Update, to add response to manager response to my review*We all know this won't change. I'm being told *by staff* this is something that has been done by these ladies for MANY years & there has been no correction up until this point. CLEARLY I do not foresee it ever happening, if this entitled behavior has been allowed to happen all these years by staff at your establishment. If you really want to make a change, then these individuals need to know & it needs to be enforced, thay they cannot do this any longer. This is not fair to those who had to stand there for 30 min only to be bullied out of our spot.Overall, I like this bingo hall, though I drive half hour to get to it.What I don't like is entitlement of players that go there. What's worse is that Chances Casino allows this.You should not be allowed to put books or dabbers on chairs in place where people stand to buy cards, as a way of saving a spot.I was unaware this is a thing that these regulars do every day & no one said anything to me while I stood at the front over 30 min. Only 5 min before cards sales sere to start a bunch of ladies approached me & told "You're behind all 10 of us that put our stuff on the chairs to save our spot in line, you need to ho to the back"As you can imagine that didn't go over well with me. What made me the angriest is that they all sat there and knew that I was standing in line for over 30 minutes waiting and didn't say a word to me then but waited until right before card sales to tell me to get in the back. Had they come to me kindly and said this is what we do we're always here blah blah blah I would have went and sat down. But because I stood there for 30 minutes I wasn't moving. As you can imagine this caused a little bit of a ruckus with the ladies having one of them even yell in my face saying "I hope you lose all your money today and don't win anything" I'm sure she probably felt a certain way, cuz I won 4x that day lolAnyways just PSA, if anyone wants to go to this bingo hall, do not stand at front thinking you're going to purchase your tickets 1st, because you will have a flock of vultures coming to attack you!This video was taken today to show what they do.
Sat night, Went to chances for music and food..it was boring, people were not lively and there was no entertainment.Went to Sammy j’s and sat at the bar…that was fun.Edit: turns out we were early, before the 8pm start of live music. We may try this venue again, after 8pm
This review is for breakfast only 😀 Nice staff, great simple breakfasts, somewhat corporate, but to be a expected. Strong, dark coffee. $5 breakfast everyday till noon. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you like a quick slot or two. 😀
The food is amazing, but the only thing is that I thought the Nacho's we're a bit small for an appetizer for 4 people. The staff was super friendly. I would definitely go back but maybe have two appetizers if you plan on sharing.
Had not been in a long while. Definitely worth a visit. Good variety on the menu and before 6pm menu pricing is good too.
