Shark Club, the downtown gaming centre

MBLL runs the Shark Club and describes it as a sports bar, grill and gaming centre with table games and slots. That makes it a gaming centre, not a full casino. The venue bills itself as Winnipeg's only downtown gaming centre.

Doors open at 10 am onto a floor of 100+ slot machines. Live tables start at 3:30 pm and run to 1 am, seven days a week. The games are blackjack, roulette and double deck. No other venue in this guide opens its live tables earlier in the day.

Poker players will not find a poker room at the Shark Club. None of the venues in this guide lists one. The hold 'em and Crazy 4 Poker tables at the two Winnipeg casinos are house-banked games, not a poker room.

The Shark Club is at 233 Hargrave Street, 2nd Floor Cityplace, Winnipeg, and the phone number is 204.957.2500. It sits inside the Perimeter Highway, 0.9 km from Winnipeg City Hall in a straight line. Doors close at 1 am daily, two hours before Club Regent and McPhillips Station on Sunday to Thursday nights.

From Winkler, Morden, Altona and Morris, the Shark Club is the nearest venue with live tables in this guide. Straight-line distances are 97.0 km from Winkler, 104.0 km from Morden, 92.6 km from Altona and 61.9 km from Morris. Those are map distances, not driving routes.

The Casinos of Winnipeg Club Card earns points here, at gaming stations and table games alike. Points cannot be spent on PlayNow.com, and a card is archived after 12 consecutive months without carded activity, with its points forfeited.

MBLL Voluntary Self-Exclusion covers the Shark Club too. Enrolling in person bars entry here, at both casinos and on PlayNow.
