Here are the top casino games commonly available to players in Canada, with a short description of each and why they’re popular:

1. Slots (Video slots & Progressive jackpots)

• Wide variety of themes, easy to play, low learning curve. Progressive jackpots can pay very large prizes.

2. Blackjack

• Simple objective (reach 21 without busting), low house edge with basic strategy, popular both live and online.

3. Roulette (European / French / American)

• Straightforward betting on numbers, colors, odds/evens. European (single zero) and French (single zero + special rules) have better odds than American (double zero).

4. Baccarat (Punto Banco)

• Simple banker/player/tie bets and low house edge on banker bets; popular with high-stakes players and in live-dealer formats.

5. Poker (Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Caribbean Stud, Three-Card Poker)

• Skill-based variants (cash games & tournaments) like Texas Hold’em; casino-table variants offer faster action and simpler rules.

6. Craps

• Dice game with many bet types; can have a low house edge on certain bets (pass/come with odds) and lively social play.

7. Sic Bo

• Dice-based Asian game with a wide range of betting options and high volatility.

8. Pai Gow / Pai Gow Poker

• Slower-paced table game popular with casual players because of low variance and frequent pushes.

9. Keno

• Lottery-style draw game with large payout potential and simple play; common in casinos and racetracks.

10. Bingo

• Social, number-draw game available in casinos and community halls; also offered online.

11. Live Dealer Games

• Real-time streamed tables (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, poker) that recreate the land-based experience online.

12. Virtual Sports & RNG Table Games

• Computer-simulated sports events and randomized table games when live tables aren’t available.

13. Scratch Cards / Instant Win Games

• Quick-play instant win options, available physically and online.

Where you’ll find them

• Land-based casinos in provinces (e.g., Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta) offer most of these games.
• Regulated online casinos come from provincial operators or licensed private operators (availability varies by province).

Quick tips

• Learn basic strategy for skill-influenced games (blackjack, poker) to reduce house edge.
• Check game RTPs (return-to-player) for slots and table RNG games—higher RTP generally better.
• Use responsible-gambling tools (limits, self-exclusion) and only play with money you can afford to lose.
