How the desk counted Painted Hand
Tessera is an independent field guide to Painted Hand Casino, signed by a desk, not a person, and not by the casino. This page sets out how its figures were gathered and counted, and how the guide earns money.

The desk behind the name
Tessera is signed by the Tessera desk, a shared name with no individual author behind it. No personal byline appears on any page. The guide is not Painted Hand Casino, not SIGA and not any agency of the province. It takes no bets, and the site has no forms or accounts. Its pages describe the casino from the outside, one figure at a time.

Where the figures were read
Tessera checked its facts on October 9, 2026. Casino figures were read on the casino's own pages on October 9, 2026, and on SIGA's page about the casino. Rules come from Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan, SLGA, the Government of Saskatchewan, SIGA and Casino Regina's Game Break page.
When two casino pages give different restaurant hours, the restaurant's own page is the one used. Weekly totals are not read anywhere: the desk works them out, as the next section shows.
250
= 241 + 9

The sums the desk made
The weekly hours are Tessera's own sums of the published daily hours. The casino floor comes to 122 hours a week: 17 hours a day Sunday to Wednesday, 18 Thursday to Saturday. The Deli & Bar adds up to 105, the box office to 98 and Legends to 72.
One more figure is a sum. SIGA's counts of 241 slot machines plus 9 electronic table games give 250 places to play, with 0 live tables among them.

pictures, 3 of them from real photographs
Method
Six pictures, none of them photographs
The guide's six pictures all come from an image model, and none is a photograph. Three start from real photographs of Painted Hand Casino: the slot floor, a Legends Restaurant table and the Broadway Street West sign. The viewpoint moves a little and the light is cooler, so these show real places as generated images. The motorhome, the card with wallet and keys, and the sandwich on slate were built from a written description. Those three show no real place.

Ad links and what the browser keeps
Outside the home page, Tessera carries no paid links, and every one found there wears an Ad tag. There are three spots: the menu button, a strip under the opening tool and a box near the end. They lead to one private online casino business, unnamed here, that pays Tessera a commission and can be replaced.
That business has no licence in Saskatchewan. In the province, online gambling is lawful on PlayNow.com alone, and a private site is beyond the reach of SIGA self-exclusion and Game Break alike. The browser may keep your light or dark colour choice and your tool settings in its own storage, and the visit counter stores nothing in your browser.
