Regions
Three provinces, and what changes between them
The buildings look similar. The rules behind the door do not.
BCLC
British Columbia
Richmond sits on the Vancouver transit line, which makes River Rock the only property here you can reach from an airport without a car. Floors are large and busy from mid-afternoon.
Minimum age on the gaming floor: 19.
AGCO
Ontario
Two very different properties: Rama is a destination ninety minutes out of Toronto, the newer Toronto-area resort is a transit-served build with the largest table count in the province.
Minimum age on the gaming floor: 19.
Casino Rama Resort
Rama, Ontario
Ninety minutes north of Toronto on Chippewas of Rama First Nation land, built around a 5,000-seat entertainment hall.
Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto
Ajax & Toronto, Ontario
The newest of the group, purpose-built with a hotel tower and the largest table count in the province.
AGLC
Alberta
Calgary is the outlier — the lowest age limit of the three, the smallest floor, and a hotel that was a conference hotel first.
Minimum age on the gaming floor: 18.
Deerfoot Inn & Casino
Calgary, Alberta
A working business hotel with a casino attached rather than the other way round — the quietest room rates of the four.
