Before online casinos were created, land casinos were the only place where players could enjoy a nice table game like blackjack or have a spin at the roulette and try their luck at the slot machines. Usually land slot machines are known to pay out less than online slots, therefore making table games the stars of the show.
Here is a list of the top 10 best Canadian casinos along with their biggest selling points and notable features.
CASINO NIAGARA – ONTARIO
Casino Niagara has been around since December of 1996. A giant among Canadian land casinos, housing over 1.300 slot machines, 30 gaming tables and its own Poker Room. A multi-wagering sports section and promotions are available all year to spice things up for the players. There are plenty of HD screens everywhere so players can watch everything live in full detail. Even though the sports section is a bit limited compared to online casinos the promos and atmosphere are more than enough to keep players visiting.

ST EUGENE GOLF RESORT CASINO – BRITISH COLUMBIA
The first thing to note about St Eugene Golf Resort Casino is that unlike most others, is not a 24/7 casino and only has 240 slot machines and four different table games. However it makes up for the lack of diversity in slots and table games with its full service lottery center and its off tracking betting room.
Aside from the casino, a gourmet restaurant and a fully fledged golf course along with the mesmerizing scenery make this casino more than enough to qualify for a place as one of the top Canadian land casinos.
