Historical Overview of Casinos in Canada

Canada is home to a vibrant coast-to-coast casino scene, from Victoria’s Elements Casino to Halifax’s harbourside Casino Nova Scotia. Often entertainment-rich complexes with hotel and resort amenities, casinos have integrated gambling into the Canadian lifestyle, with some taking up prime real estate in capital cities, small towns, and Indigenous communities.

The history and story of casinos in Canada is a rich one and starts well before the country’s current oldest-running casino - Diamond Tooth Gertie's Gambling Hall - in Dawson City, Yukon opened in 1971. The early days of Canadian casinos can be traced back to the late 1800s, when casinos were available only to wealthy players who could afford an expensive membership fee. The first casino opened in Niagara Falls in 1892, with the first legal gambling venue opening in 1894 in Montreal, Quebec. During the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 19th century, gambling establishments emerged in mining towns, catering to the desires of gold seekers. As the mid-20th century approached, gambling became more widespread and accessible to people from all socio-economic backgrounds.

It wasn’t until the 1970s that a legal change significantly altered the Canadian casino landscape. Charitable and religious organizations became able to hold gambling events as a form of fundraising, marking the first step towards legalized gambling. In the mid-1980s, starting in Manitoba, government-operated casinos were introduced and other provinces soon followed suit, establishing their own government-run casinos to generate revenue for public programs. Partnerships between provincial governments and Indigenous communities enabled the establishment of Indigenous-operated casinos. These casinos heavily contribute to the economic development of their respective communities, creating employment opportunities and generating revenue for various social programs and initiatives.

Today, there are over 200 land-based casinos operating in Canada, with a significant number falling under First Nations jurisdictions. Casinos are a prominent part of Canada's entertainment and tourism landscape offering a wide array of games, including slot machines, table games like poker and blackjack, and various forms of sports betting.

The Origins of Gambling in Canada

The origins of gambling in Canada reflect a blend of Indigenous traditions, European influences, and modern regulations, that shape the diverse gambling landscape in the country today.

Gambling in Canada dates back to indigenous cultures, long before European settlers arrived. Indigenous peoples in Canada engaged in various forms of gambling as a part of their cultural practices playing games that often had social and ceremonial significance, with wagers placed on outcomes such as hunting, sports, and chance-based contests.

With the arrival of European settlers, came the arrival of gambling traditions from different countries. British and French influences brought popular games like dice, card playing, and horse racing, which became prevalent among early settlers. Lotteries were also established to raise funds for public projects, such as the construction of infrastructure and public institutions.

Over time, gambling activities continued to evolve and adapt to changing societal attitudes and legal frameworks. The emergence of casinos and the introduction of provincial lotteries in the 20th century further expanded the gambling landscape in Canada.

Today, gambling in Canada is regulated and governed by provincial and territorial authorities. Each province and territory has its own regulations and oversight bodies responsible for licensing and monitoring gambling establishments, including casinos, lotteries, and online gambling platforms.

The Evolution of Land-Based Casinos

The advent of online gambling platforms in the late 1990s brought a new era of gambling in Canada. With technological advancements enabling players to access a wide range of casino games and betting options online, the industry continued to evolve.

Canadians can easily be described as early adaptors to online gaming. The first online casino in Canada, and one of the first in the world, was launched by InterCasino back in 1995 and started mainly with classic table games. Initially, these online gambling platforms were operated offshore but as the popularity of online gambling grew, it became evident that a regulated framework was needed to ensure consumer protection and promote responsible gambling practices.

To address this, some Canadian provinces took the initiative to regulate online gambling within their jurisdictions. Without a country-wide legislation, provinces were left to create their own set of regulations, and provinces have approached regulation quite differently.

In 2004, BC launched its own online gambling platform offering a variety of casino games, slots and tables, and sports betting to its residents. BC’s portal later became a shared platform, consolidating players from participating provinces including Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In 2022, Ontario launched a regulated market that provides licensing opportunities for casino and sports betting operators to offer such services within their province. And, it’s safe to say we can expect significant changes in this landscape as gambling continues to grow and regulation strategies are analyzed further.

In parallel, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC), located in the Mohawk territory of Kahnawake in Quebec, began licensing and regulating online gambling operators. Established in 1996, the KGC played a pivotal role in the evolution of Canada’s online gambling arena, becoming one of the first regulatory bodies in North America to provide licenses to online casinos. Backed by aboriginal rights, their licenses balance player protection with industry growth, helping to establish Canada as a recognized and respected hub for online gambling. Today, they license over 50 online gaming operators, representing at least 250 online sites.

Despite the presence of provincial online gambling platforms, Canadian players also have access to offshore and international online casinos. These operators cater to Canadian players and often hold licenses from reputable international jurisdictions.

The legal landscape surrounding online gambling in Canada is subject to change as provinces explore potential regulatory adjustments and adapt to the ever-evolving arena.

Land-Based Casinos in Canada

Canadian land-based casinos date back several decades, with their evolution beginning in the 1970s when the Canadian government began exploring opportunities to generate revenue through legal gambling.

Progression towards full-fledged land-based casinos gained momentum in the mid-1980s. Manitoba became the first province to introduce government-operated casinos and opened the first commercial land-based casino in Winnipeg in 1989. This was followed by other provinces, including British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Quebec, which gradually legalized and regulated casino gambling.

Land-based casinos in Canada for the most part, are regulated and licensed by provincial governments, resulting in variations in availability and regulations across the different provinces. However, some First Nations communities have entered into partnerships with provincial governments to establish and operate their casinos under special agreements.

Today, over 200 Canadian land-based casinos offer everything from slot machines and bingo to table games and poker, in addition to being a draw for resort complexes that include dining, bars, a hotel, a spa, and entertainment venues.
