The Six Most Played Casino Games in Canada

Casino Classics in Canada

Revenues in the worldwide gaming sector are expected to reach $ 500 billion by 2023. Canada is 10th on the list of countries with the most gambling. Gambling generates around $ 31 billion in revenue for Canada each year. Right now, online casino gaming is exploding across Canada. The country boasts some of the most open gambling promotion laws in the world, giving consumers a tremendous variety of places to play. However, despite having many options, people tend to gravitate toward the same few games, so let’s take a look at six of the top casino games in Canada.

Slots

The allure of slot machines is evident. They’re straightforward to understand, making them ideal for casino newcomers. The gameplay is fast-paced, with exciting bonus rounds. In addition, there are jackpot progressive slot games in which players can win millions. These games are also available in a variety of themes.

Roulette

Roulette is one of Canada’s most popular casino games. It was invented in France over 300 years ago and has since spread worldwide due to its elegance and sophistication. Although “roulette” means “little wheel” in French, the payouts in this game are anything but little. Roulette is a casino table game in which players place bets in the hope that the ball will land on their chosen number on the spinning wheel. The numbers on the wheel fluctuate between the two variants of the game, French roulette, and American roulette. The American roulette wheel has 38 numbers and two zeros, whereas the French roulette wheel has 37 numbers.

Blackjack

There are several reasons why this traditional card game remains a firm favorite for both online and in-person casino games. To begin with, even a rookie gamer can quickly learn the basic rules, and the play period for each hand is short, keeping the game intense and thrilling. On the most basic level, the player is dealt two cards with the goal of reaching 21, or as close to it as possible, while having a higher total than the dealer. Then, depending on the starting hand, the player can either “stand” or request another card be dealt.

Poker

Poker is still one of the most popular casino games in the world, not just in Canada. Poker is reasonably simple to learn, but relatively difficult to master. During gameplay, participants place wagers based on their hands (cards) and how well they compare to the hands of the other players. The fact that players cannot see each other’s cards keeps the adrenaline going. As a result, players must bluff, hoping that no one else is bluffing and that they have the best hand at the table.

Baccarat

The baccarat table is another popular choice among Canadians. Forbes, the prominent business journal, once dubbed it “The World’s Biggest Gambling Game,” and there are several reasons why. For starters, Baccarat has a very low house edge, making it profitable for players but often quite costly for the casino. Also, it allows punters to place large bets, so it can quickly lead to a favorable situation for the bettor.

Craps

Craps is the least popular game in the list, but still a regularly played game nonetheless. Craps, which originated in the United States and is currently gaining popularity in Canada, is a unique dice game in which participants roll their own dice to determine who wins and who loses in two stages. A single game can accommodate up to 20 players, each getting one round of “shooting” the dice. Bets can also be placed on the dice thrower. On the table activity, you can place a variety of wagers.

Thunderkick commits to growth in Ontario with Betty partnership

 

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.

Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.

Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.

Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.

Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.

Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.

“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”

Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.

“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
