Across Canada, you can find
several casinos that welcome Canadians and travellers from other countries to
enjoy a unique gaming experience. But the experience doesn’t end at the casino
lobby as many of these venues are surrounded either by beautiful nature scenes
or located in cities steeped with local history and charm.

Canada. However, you’d be missing out on that whole old-school glamour vibe. So
let’s take a look at the best casinos that Canada has to offer – and why you
