Bear Claw Casino & Hotel is a small casino located on the White Bear First Nations near Moose Mountain Provincial Park and Carlyle, Saskatchewan, Canada, in the Moose Mountain Upland. The facility includes a casino (with 132 slot machines and 4 table games), lounge and family restaurant, a 35-room hotel, and stalls for campers. Access is from Highway 9.
It was the first casino in Saskatchewan operated by a First Nations group to open in the province in 1993; at that time, it was caught up in a legal battle between the local First Nations group and the province over jurisdiction. The casino opened in 1993 in the club house of the White Bear Golf Course. It moved into its current location in 1996.
In 2010, the 35-room hotel adjacent to the casino was transferred from the White Bear First Nation to SIGA, and underwent a complete renovation.
