Head to Playtime Casino and Hit the Jackpot on Fun This New Year’s Eve

December is upon us, which means New Year’s is right around the corner—and if you are wondering where to ring in 2026, the answer is easy: Playtime Casino. The popular gaming resort is a top Kelowna destination for fun nights out, and for good reasons. Not only is it an ideal venue to host events, but Playtime Casino’s General Manager Clarissa Pruden loves throwing a party.

The Playtime Team Knows How to Deal Out Good Times

For Clarissa, New Year’s Eve gives her team the ultimate excuse to celebrate, and after over a decade of crafting unforgettable evenings, she has developed a winning strategy. “We focus on hosting a New Year’s party where everyone is welcome,” Clarissa explains. “We have guests who dress up to the nines, ready to dance the night away, along with those laid-back party-seekers celebrating in smart-casual attire.” The casino happily caters to individual preferences, and there is no cover charge to join the party. This everyone-welcome attitude is a proven winning strategy for fun, but Clarissa’s team doesn’t stop there.

Great Music, Drink Specials, and Dining

We welcome Evan Wilds with his guitar back to the Match stage, from 7 to 10 pm. The evening continues at 9 pm with happy hour drink specials, backed by DJ Patrick from Music Matters, a talented Kelowna DJ that Playtime Casino loves having in-house. “We like DJ Patrick so much that we also contracted him to play our yearly staff celebration,” Clarissa tells us. Playtime’s Match Eatery and Public House will feature all of their regular menu favourites, along with themed food specials catering to New Year’s revellers.

Win Big While Celebrating in Style

In typical Playtime Casino fashion, party-goers have an opportunity to walk home with a pocket full of cash, too. There is seventeen hundred and fifty hundred dollars in cash up for grabs throughout the night, with a $250 draw at 9 pm, 10 pm and 11 pm, and the grand prize of $1000 at 1 am. Whether you’re looking to toast the new year with friends, dance the night away, or try your luck at the tables and slots, the atmosphere promises to be as exciting.

A Dazzling New Year Awaits — Join the Celebration at Playtime Casino

When the clock counts down to midnight, Playtime Casino’s New Year’s Eve celebration goes into high gear. Guests will be ringing in 2026 with the casino’s traditional balloon drop and dancing. Playtime Casino’s New Year’s Eve Party isn’t just an event — it’s a night to remember, a perfect way to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, surrounded by great company. It makes sense that Clarissa and her team would be looking forward to celebrating New Year’s with their patrons. After all, they are in the business of creating fun and excitement—and who better than the professionals to plan a party?

Show Me the Money – Over One Million in Cash + Prizes to be Won

If your schedule prevents you from making the Playtime Casino New Year’s Celebrations, don’t despair; there are plenty of other opportunities to win cash and join in the fun. Throughout December and January, casino patrons can win up to $1,000 in cash on select draw dates (Daily Draws December 14 and 28, January 11th), as well as daily “Swipe to Win” opportunities for a chance to win dining room deals, free plays, and more. There is also another exciting promotion in the works for January, but Clarissa is keeping the details under wraps for now. “I can’t give out the details just yet,” she chuckles, “But it is going to be a big deal!” Keep an eye on the Playtime Casino Website for upcoming information.
