CANADIAN CASINOS This directory attempts to provide a listing of casinos facilities in Canada as well as brief description of how these casinos are conducted, managed, and regulated in each provincial and territorial jurisdiction. Casinos presently operate in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Yukon (See Table 1). Casinos vary in the way in which they operate as each Canadian jurisdiction has exclusive control over gambling. Canadian casinos offer gambling formats that include slot machine and table games. Many casinos also include amenities such as hotel accommodation, restaurants, and entertainment. Included in this directory are racinos, which are casino-like operations that have been established at horse, racing tracks in the provinces of Alberta and Ontario. Table 1.

  • MANITOBA PARTNERS with BRITISH COLUMBIA to OFFER ONLINE GAMBLING New Funding for Addictions, Aboriginal Sports and Recreation;
    NEWS RELEASE MANITOBA PARTNERS WITH BRITISH COLUMBIA TO OFFER ONLINE GAMBLING New Funding for Addictions, Aboriginal Sports and Recreation; Safe, Secure Site Allows Responsible Play April 5, 2012, Winnipeg, Manitoba – Manitoba Lotteries will partner with British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) to deliver online gambling for Manitobans on a Manitoba site, based on BCLC’s online platform. Both partners will benefit from economies of scale and a larger player base for games such as poker. This collaboration will increase both provinces’ ability to combat thousands of illegal, off-shore websites. In Manitoba alone, $37 million is leaving the province annually as a result of unsafe, unregulated online gambling sites. “The existing online gambling market is mostly unregulated, with over 2,000 grey market operators who offer few or no responsible gambling features and millions of dollars leaving the province every year,” said Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Steve Ashton, minister responsible for Manitoba Lotteries. “Manitobans will now be able to play on a site where they can have confidence in game integrity, personal information security and that offers a comprehensive set of responsible play tools, information and support.” Since 2004, BCLC has operated regulated online gambling on behalf of the Province of British Columbia. In 2010, BCLC began offering online casino games to players and in February 2011, together with Loto-Quebec, began offering peer-to-peer poker on a shared network. “We launched online gambling in British Columbia to provide a secure and legal option for people who play online and to keep revenues in the province that otherwise would be going to illegal gambling sites,” said the Honourable Rich Coleman, Minister Responsible for BCLC.
