How are physical casinos in Canada remaining relevant in 2021?
The gambling experience we know and love originated in private homes in Europe. The continent's aristocratic classes would entertain each other from these historic homes.
Such nights featured friendly wagers and simple table games like Italy's Biribi. Biribi served as inspiration for the first roulette wheel.
Since those early days, gambling has changed. Now, grand casinos stand proud the world over, enticing players with bright lights, tantalising visual displays and exciting soundscapes.
In the age of safe and secure online casinos and mobile apps that offer the same services with the added ease of access, how are brick and mortar casinos staying relevant?
Physical gaming experience
Nothing beats being able to push brightly coloured flashing buttons or pulling the lever on a one-arm bandit. The physical gambling experience is incomparable to its online alternative.
Couple the electric atmosphere with cutting-edge architecture, and you have the stunning Casino de Montreal. Rows of brightly lit exciting games, soft ceiling lighting and rich sounds culminate in a sensational sensory experience that is difficult to replicate online.
Bonus prizes
We've all walked into a casino and seen a brand new luxury vehicle on a podium at the centre of the room. The idea that we could potentially drive away in premium German, Italian or American luxury is a thrill that is hard to beat.
Gateway Casinos has a rich history of providing its punters with a chance at a new vehicle. One such prize was the then brand new premium Cadillac XT5 Crossover won in 2017 at the Cascades Casino in South Okanagan.
Entertainment and amenities
While online casinos offer diversity by hosting various games, physical casinos offer far more than gambling. Restaurants such as L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon at Casino de Montreal give players a chance to step away from the slots and tables and experience the finer things in life.
Other amenities like sky bars, conference centres and great outdoor entertainment areas make Canadian casinos more than just a gambling destination; They're a way of life.
Final word
While there are more reasons to visit a Canadian casino than we've covered in this article, the facts stand for themselves. Physical casinos are a fully rounded experience.
Whether you go for the five star restaurants run by some of the world's most celebrated chefs or keep your clients entertained between meetings by booking one of Canada's elegant casino conference venues, you'll be in for a treat.
Eat like a king, dance like a queen and play the fool while you play the tables.
