From downtown, route 95 Blink signed "to Langford" leaves Legislature Exchange and runs up Douglas Street.

All three end at Legislature Exchange. This guide gives no times or fares, since those change with each schedule. BC Transit publishes the current ones at bctransit.com.

The gambling age in British Columbia is 19. Every person who walks into a B.C. casino has had to show government-issued photo ID since June 26, 2023. Security scans the card and compares it with the list of people barred from entry, such as those enrolled in Game Break. Once someone is admitted, the system keeps none of their personal information.

Accepted cards include a B.C. or North American driver's licence, the BCID, the B.C. Services Card and a Canadian or international passport. A permanent resident card, a Secure Certificate of Indian Status card or a First Nations, Metis or Inuit band card also work. For events, guests aged 19 to 25 bring a second piece of valid ID.

B.C. allows gambling only when it is run by the provincial government, and BCLC manages all commercial gambling, including online. BCLC also runs PlayNow.com, the province's only legal online gambling site, open to players 19 or older. The Independent Gambling Control Office has regulated gambling in B.C. since April 13, 2026. That office treats any other online gambling website accepting B.C. players as operating illegally in the province.

This guide carries paid links on its home page, each marked Ad. They lead to one private online casino partner that has no licence or permission from British Columbia. PlayNow limits, Game Break self-exclusion and complaints to the IGCO do not reach that site. The partner pays the guide a commission and can change.
