Red Shores Racetrack & Casino Play Blackjack

Blackjack Tables at Red Shores Charlottetown

At our Charlottetown property, we run a focused table games room where blackjack is dealt alongside Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em and Baccarat. The casino is located at 58 Kensington Road, connected directly to the Eastlink Centre, and table game hours follow their own daily schedule, separate from the slot floor. For guests coming specifically for blackjack, that split in hours matters more than it first looks.

The table games room is a distinct, enclosed space off the main casino area. Most days you will find two blackjack tables running, which keeps the room compact and easy to move around without the constant noise from the main slots section spilling over. It is not a huge venue, and that is intentionally how we keep it.

Below is the current Charlottetown table game schedule:

Slot machines follow a longer daily window: Sunday to Wednesday from 11:00 AM to 1:00 AM, and Thursday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM. So if you arrive on a Tuesday afternoon before 4:00 PM, you will be on the slots floor until the tables open for play. That detail is worth having in mind before you make the drive in.

How to Play Blackjack at Our Charlottetown Casino

Getting into a blackjack game at Charlottetown is straightforward. Come to 58 Kensington Road during the posted table game hours, make your way to the dedicated table games room, and look for a seat at one of the blackjack tables. You can exchange your cash for chips right at the table with the dealer, or handle it in advance at the casino cage if you prefer, both approaches are fine.

Once you are seated, place your wager within the table limits before the dealer starts the hand. Our blackjack game works out of a 6-deck shoe with an automatic shuffler, based on consistent player reports. Surrender is not offered as an option at these tables. When you decide to wrap up your play, bring your remaining chips back to the cage and redeem them there.

Regular guests have reported a minimum bet starting at $2 CAD, although official limits are not listed publicly and can be adjusted from time to time. The most practical move is to give us a quick call at (902) 620-4222 before you head in and confirm the current minimum and maximum stakes. It takes a couple minutes and avoids any surprises when you sit down.

For players new to live blackjack, our experience shows one small habit helps a lot: visiting earlier in the evening on a weekday usually means a calmer room, fewer full tables, and dealers who have a bit more time to explain procedures if something is unclear.

Blackjack at Red Shores Summerside

We also deal blackjack at our Summerside location at 55 Greenwood Drive, attached to Credit Union Place. At this property, the focus on the floor leans more heavily to VLTs and harness racing - the gaming space went through a renovation with new VLT machines - but blackjack remains available as part of the gaming offer.

Summerside gaming hours run from Sunday to Thursday, 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and on Friday and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 1:00 AM. That is a shorter late-night window than what we run in Charlottetown.

For players who mainly want a longer, dedicated table game session, our Charlottetown venue generally fits better. Summerside works nicely if you are already there for the races, staying nearby, or just planning a shorter stop.

Rewards Club and Blackjack Play

Our Rewards Club loyalty program ties together both table game and slot play at Charlottetown and Summerside. When you use your card while playing blackjack, your wagers are tracked and converted into points that can later turn into offers and benefits. The structure applies consistently at both of our locations.

Getting a card is simple. If you have not enrolled yet, visit the casino desk on the gaming floor and ask for a Rewards Club card. Before you start your blackjack session, hand the card to your dealer or the floor supervisor so they can make sure it is logged in for that table. After that, just play as normal and your play will be rated in the background.

Once you finish your play, you can check your current points and any available offers at the casino desk. At this time, we do not list a confirmed online portal for Rewards Club redemptions, so managing the account in person is the standard process. It is worth keeping the card in your wallet and bringing it every visit, since Forgotten cards mean the points from that particular session do not get added.

Game Rules and What to Expect

We do not publish a full, detailed blackjack rule sheet on our official website. Based on feedback shared in player communities, the Charlottetown blackjack tables use a 6-deck shoe with automatic shuffle, and surrender is not part of the rule set. These details are drawn from player reports instead of direct official documents, so rules can be adjusted over time.

In practice, standard Canadian land-based casino procedure is what you can expect. The dealer will draw to a defined total, and players can hit, stand, double down, or split pairs within the house rules for that table. Exact doubling and splitting conditions are not posted publicly for our games. The best and most accurate approach is simply to ask the dealer before you start your first hand that night, they will outline the current rules clearly.

On our official casino materials, you will see a “Play Responsibly.” message built into the gaming content. We treat responsible play as a core part of how the table games room and the slot floor are run.

The Broader Casino Floor and What Else Is On

The Charlottetown casino floor features over 150 slot machines, with some regulars suggesting the count is closer to 200 when you include all the latest additions. Slots open every day at 11:00 AM, so if you prefer to come earlier on a weekday, there is plenty to do while you wait for blackjack tables to open later in the day.

Charlottetown is set up as more than a card room. You have live harness racing on site, two full-service restaurants to choose from, and the casino floor all around you in the same complex. Players can sit in for a blackjack session, step out to catch a race, then have dinner without needing to move the car from the lot. Over time, we have seen that mix turn a regular visit into more of a full evening out than just a short gaming stop.

Summerside combines its gaming floor with the West End Bar & Grill and live harness racing at Summerside Raceway, which has been operating since 1886. Both our properties stay open throughout the year, with the detailed racing calendars posted separately at redshores.ca.

Harness Racing and Betting

Our history is rooted deeply in harness racing. Charlottetown Driving Park has been in operation since 1888, and Summerside Raceway since 1886. At both tracks we offer active pari-mutuel wagering programs, including options such as the Pick 4 and the guaranteed Isle Pick 5. For the 2025 racing season, we introduced updated betting features and lowered takeout rates, making the racing product more competitive for serious horseplayers.

Pari-mutuel wagering is handled independently from the casino table games. If you want to combine both experiences in one outing, you can move between the casino floor and the track grandstand area during your visit at either site. Racing dates and first post times are available on the official website and on our Facebook page at facebook.com/redshoresPEI.

With live racing, blackjack tables, and slots under our umbrella, Red Shores functions as a full-service betting location within Prince Edward Island. For guests who want an evening that includes more than one type of play, Charlottetown in particular gathers the broadest set of options in a single property.
