Sand Hills Casino near Carberry: the real venue, and why there is no online version

Sandhills Casino (officially Sand Hills Casino) is a land-based casino about ten minutes south of Carberry, Manitoba, off Highway 5. It has roughly 300 slot machines, a bar and grill and a free loyalty card. It does not have an online casino. The casino’s own website says it “does not and will not offer online gambling”, so a site selling you a Sand Hills login, app or deposit bonus is not the casino.

This guide is for two groups of readers: people planning a drive to the Carberry casino, and people who searched the name hoping to play it from their phone. We checked everything below against the casino’s website and provincial sources on November 10, 2026.

Is there a Sandhills Casino online?

There isn’t. The casino has a notice on its site that is unusually blunt. It does not run online cash draws or contests. It is not running Facebook, Instagram or other Meta ads about online gambling. It says pages and profiles calling themselves “Sand Hills Online”, “Sand Hills Casino Online”, “Casino Guide Canada”, “Online games Canada” or “Vegas Nights” should be treated as scams. Its advice is to ignore them, not click their links and never give them a credit card number.

We have to own something here. Earlier versions of this domain described an online “Sandhills Casino” with a welcome bonus, a Curacao licence and RealTime Gaming slots. None of that was real. That copy is gone, and the rebuild replaced it with checked facts. The About page explains what changed.

A quick test for any “Sand Hills” offer you see online: if it wants a deposit or a card number so you can play, it is not the casino near Carberry. The real Sand Hills only takes play on its own floor.

Where Manitobans can play casino games online

Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries runs PlayNow.com. It launched in the province in January 2013 and runs on a platform supplied by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries calls it the only legal and regulated multi-product gambling website in Manitoba. PlayNow carries slots, poker, sports betting, lottery tickets, bingo and live-dealer tables. If you want an online account covered by provincial rules, that is the one to open.

Offshore casinos also take sign-ups from Canada, and their ads reach Manitoba. They are licensed outside the province, when they are licensed at all. A complaint about a slow withdrawal goes to whatever regulator the site names, not to anyone in Manitoba. Before you deposit, read who holds the licence, what the withdrawal limits are and how much wagering any bonus carries.

If you want to compare one of those offers anyway, the button below opens a partner casino. It is a third party: it is not Sand Hills Casino and it is not PlayNow.

Slots on the floor at Sand Hills Casino

The casino says it has about 300 machines, many of them newer themes, and that live table games are not available. That is a change from opening week in 2014. News reports then described a 31,000-square-foot building with 350 slots and table games (one report counted seven tables). Some older listings, including one on the Town of Carberry’s website, still mention a poker room and four table games. The casino’s current gaming page doesn’t, so we’d treat those listings as out of date.

The machines named on the jackpot board in October and November 2026 give a good picture of the floor: Dragon Link, Lion Link, Buffalo Grand, Dancing Drums, Ultimate Fire Link, China Shores, Lian Lian Fa and Bingo Frenzy Stampede. If you’re after one title, the casino’s tip is to ask a floor attendant.

Sand Hills Casino winners

The jackpot board says guests have won $3,148,982 in jackpots since summer 2025. The largest recent entry we saw was $11,364 on Buffalo Grand on November 4, 2026. The other eight wins posted between October 14 and November 7 ran from $2,630 to $9,600. The casino adds that jackpot odds on a regulated slot machine are random and not controlled by the casino. Read the board as a list of what people won, not a forecast.

Sand Hills Casino reviews: who will like it

We don’t reprint star ratings. They change week to week and we can’t check who left them. What we can check is how the venue is set up. It suits slot players on a day trip, regulars who will use the Gold Club card, and the 50+ crowd, who get Monday free play and weekday meal specials. Look elsewhere for blackjack, roulette or a resort weekend with a room upstairs.

If you’re comparing casinos in Manitoba with slot machines, Sand Hills is one of the province’s First Nations-owned casinos. When it opened in 2014, coverage named the other two as South Beach and Aseneskak. In Winnipeg, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries runs Club Regent and McPhillips Station.
