Canada’s top luxury casinos
/
Canada is home to a number of luxurious casinos with glamorous decor and impressive collections of table and machine games. These venues are frequented by both locals and tourists traveling through the area.
A few decades ago, all forms of gambling were illegal in Canada. However, since then restrictions have been slowly lifted. This started with the legalisation of casual gambling, such as raffles and bingo games at charity events and races. Then in 1985, gaming machines were legalised by the government and new casino venues began to spring up across the country.
In 1996, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission was set up to regulate gambling with the Mohawks territory. They have the powers to grant licences to casino venues and online casino websites operating within the territory.
The laws in Canada specific to online gambling are a little bit of a grey area. However, accessing online casinos that are based offshore is allowed for Canadians. Here are some of the best sites available to Canadians to play online casino games, all offering a variety of games, competitive deals and generous sign up bonuses.
Playing casino games either in venues or on websites is an enjoyable hobby for many in the country.
Here are some of Canada’s top luxury casinos:

You won’t have to wait around long to play at Niagara, the casino has 45 gaming tables and dedicated poker rooms with 12 table games. You can even reserve these rooms for a special occasion.
