Glyph · New Westminster
Starlight New Westminster at a glance
Starlight Casino New Westminster is seven full rays, open 24 hours every day, around an empty ring: no table hours are published. Poker and racebook dots are filled, hotel and transit dots stay hollow, and the large glyph uses nothing beyond the facts below.

Reading the marks
Seven rays run from the centre, Monday at the top and the other days clockwise. Each one is full length. The floor stays open round the clock, all week, for 365 days a year. Every ray reaches the full 24 hours, and none of the seven is dashed.
Inside the rays, the ring is empty. Starlight publishes no separate hours for its live tables, so no day has an arc. The tables are there, but their hours are not in the published facts.
At the rim, two of the four dots are filled. The poker dot marks the seven-table room off the main floor. The racebook dot marks off-track betting on thoroughbred and standardbred racing, inside MATCH Eatery & Public House. The hotel dot is hollow, because the facts list no hotel on site or adjoining. The transit dot is hollow too: no SkyTrain station or bus exchange appears within 1 km.
Laid over Grand Villa
Grand Villa Casino Burnaby is 8.6 km from Starlight in a straight line. Laid over each other, the two glyphs share most marks, and those fade. Each has seven full rays, because each floor stays open round the clock on all seven days. Both rings are empty, and both poker dots are filled.
Three dots stay lit. Grand Villa's hotel dot is filled for its Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre, and Starlight's hotel dot is hollow. Its transit dot is filled as well, for the bus bays of Gilmore Station 1.0 km away. Starlight fills the racebook dot, and Grand Villa's stays hollow.
What the glyph leaves out
Counts sit outside the glyph. Gateway Casinos & Entertainment runs Starlight, which lists 54 gaming tables and over 935 slot machines. Its loyalty programme is Encore Rewards.
Play in the seven-table poker room continues for 24 hours on both Friday and Saturday. On Sunday to Thursday, opening is at 11 AM and play runs until late, with no published closing time. The racebook opens Sunday 9 AM to 9 PM, and Monday and Tuesday 12 PM to 9 PM. On Wednesday and Thursday it runs 9 AM to 9 PM, and on Friday and Saturday 9 AM to midnight.
Starlight also has Kirin Restaurant. On request, the casino provides communication supports, wheelchairs and accessible formats. For holiday hours, the casino's own website is where to check.
At the door
350 Gifford Street, New Westminster, is the location of Starlight Casino New Westminster, and its phone number is 604-777-2946. Visitors park for free, either in outdoor lots or in a parkade that opens onto the front door, and RV parking can be requested. Entry is for adults 19 or older. Everyone shows government-issued photo ID, which security scans and checks against the list of restricted people.
The nearest SkyTrain station is 22nd Street Station, 1.6 km away in a straight line. Measured from Starlight, the distance to Grand Villa Casino Burnaby is 8.6 km and to Cascades Casino Langley 23.6 km. Each figure is a straight line joining two sets of map coordinates; neither is a driving or walking distance.

Questions about the marks
Why is no ray dashed on the Starlight glyph?
A ray is dashed when floor hours are not published. The floor at Starlight is open round the clock, every day, so all seven rays reach full length.
Does the Starlight glyph have a poker dot?
Yes, the poker dot is filled. Its seven tables are in a room off the main floor, open around the clock every Friday and Saturday. On Sunday through Thursday the room starts at 11 AM and keeps going until late; no closing time is published.
Why is the transit dot hollow?
The facts list no SkyTrain station or bus exchange within 1 km. The nearest SkyTrain station, 22nd Street Station, is 1.6 km away in a straight line.
