A First Walk Around the Starlight Floor
This page walks you around Starlight Casino in Queensborough the way a first-timer might see it. It covers the games on the floor, the places to eat, and a few plain manners. Starlight never shuts its doors: it runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
What the Floor Holds
Slots come first on this walk. Starlight has more than 935 slot machines, the electronic games you play with a button or a touch screen. Nobody expects you to sit down at one. Walking past and simply looking is fine.
Next come the live tables. Live means a real dealer runs the game, not a screen. Starlight lists 54 of them, spread across Baccarat, Blackjack, Craps, Pai Gow and Roulette.
Poker has its own seven-table room, set off the main floor. In poker you play against other guests, and the dealer runs the game. From Sunday to Thursday the room opens at 11AM and runs late. Friday and Saturday, the room runs 24 hours, just as the rest of the casino does.
Where to Sit Down and Eat
Starlight has three places to sit down with food or a drink. RedBar Lounge is the one with live entertainment. MATCH Eatery & Public House and Kirin Restaurant are the other two.
This guide does not list menus or prices, since those can change. For current details, the casino answers at 604-777-2946. A meal away from the games also makes a natural pause during a longer visit.
Floor Manners for a First Visit
- Ask staff when you feel lost. They are there to help, and it is a normal question.
- Watch a table for a few minutes before you sit. You see the pace, and how cards and chips move.
- Keep your phone off the table layout. The layout is the printed felt where cards and bets go, so leave it clear.
- Take breaks away from the floor. Step outside or sit down for a meal, then decide if you want to go back.
- Keep an eye on the time. The casino never closes, so set an end time before you walk in.
