Canadian Casinos
Canada-based casinos were approved just about 30 years ago, with the original one getting underway in Manitoba. Some other provinces in Canada soon followed, as more forms of wagering were allowed away from slot games and bingo. Canadian casinos allow a number of games; including poker, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, and video slots. The requirements to gamble in a casino in Canada include proving with a valid birth certificate as well as picture ID that you are 19 or older.
The province of Ontario has 3 large casinos, all of which are operated by United States wagering entities, with the same conveniences and attractions as the U.S., except for complimentary liquor, which must be had in separate lounges. Casino Windsor, based south of Detroit, has 100,000 feet of wagering space, three thousand video slots, and 6 types of craps. A special feature at the Casino Windsor is the "Big Nickel Mine" slot spot, with a gigantic variety of five-cent games.
Another attraction of the casino is the high-limit space, with more games, restaurants, and saloons.
