Canadian Casinos
Canadian casinos were made legal just about 30 years ago, with the very first one one opening its doors in Manitoba. Then, other provinces in Canada soon followed, as more forms of gaming were allowed other than slot machine games and bingo. Canadian casinos provide a good selection of games; including poker, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, as well as one armed bandits. The requirements to wager in a casino located in Canada include showing with a valid birth certificate along with photo identification that you are 19 or more.
