Budget and help
Your evening budget and end time
The calculator below turns the amount and the hours you set into a pace per hour and a time to leave. Under it sits the help available in Saskatchewan, starting with a free, confidential helpline open 24 hours.

Set the numbers before you go
The evening, in your numbers
Your amount and your hours: the pace per hour and the time to call it a night.
Set your numbers above.
Divide the amount by the hours: that is the pace per hour. Add the hours to your arrival time: that is when to leave. The floor closes at 3 am Sunday to Wednesday and at 4 am Thursday to Saturday; Legends stops serving at 9 pm, or 10 pm on Friday and Saturday.
Before you leave the house, pick two numbers: an amount you are ready to spend and a time to stop. Treat that amount as the cost of the evening, money that is gone once it is spent. The calculator only does arithmetic on your own figures. It predicts nothing about what the machines will do.
Painted Hand Casino keeps its floor open until 3 AM from Sunday to Wednesday, and until 4 AM from Thursday to Saturday. That is a closing time, not a plan.
If you are driving home to Melville, Canora or Kamsack, your end time has to include the drive. Distances on this site are straight lines between map points, so check the road route before you set the time. A general tip: step away from the floor every so often, and check the clock against your plan.
