Where You Can Play Live Casino Games in Ontario

If you want to play live casino games in Ontario you have a lot of choice. Each licensed Ontario casino takes its own approach to live dealer games and you can find all the information you need in our Ontario casino review pages. Our top five destinations for live Ontario games are:

1. PartyCasino Ontario – 40 live dealer games are listed in the live casino games lobby. The top live dealer titles according to PartyCasino are: Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette, Monopoly Live, Mega Fire Blaze Roulette and Lightning Blackjack. Party allows player to player chat at its live dealer tables not just player to dealer chat. It’s a small touch but it makes the games a lot more sociable.
2. LeoVegas Ontario – The 40 live dealer games at LeoVegas include eight titles that are exclusive and not available at any other Ontario casino. This company was “born out of the smartphone” according to CEO Gustaf Hagman which means that the mobile experience is about the best you can get even when playing live dealer games.
3. BetMGM Ontario – King of the hill for live Ontario games is BetMGM with an incredible 80 titles to choose from. It is one of the few ontario online casino sites that offer not just craps but a wide selection of other dice games such as Super Sic Bo and Dragon Tiger. 
4. Caesars Ontario – Caesars is the iconic Las Vegas casino and its online platform delivers an environment that live casino visitors will instantly recognize. Over 50 live game titles include more than enough live dealer games for even the most enthusiastic players.
5. DraftKings Ontario – Most Ontario live dealer games share the live dealer service across several licensed casinos. DraftKings offers a clutch of live dealer games that are exclusive to their own customers. After buying the Golden Nugget’s online gaming company DraftKings has started to rapidly upgrade its casino offering. This is one online casino to keep an eye on. Make it part of your portfolio of Ontario casino sites and you won’t regret it.

Blackjack

Blackjack is arguably the game best suited for mobile play. It doesn’t require complicated graphics and animations and lends itself to a clean, simple interface. Many mobile blackjack titles are also designed for portrait mode, which makes it easy to hold your phone and play with only one hand.

Quick guide to online casinos

Know the rules of the game.

When you’re playing on the best online gambling sites, you expect everyone who is gambling to understand the game. Knowing the rules of mobile casino games will ensure that you’re not a vulnerable target.

Craps

Craps is relatively uncommon in the online casino world. At the moment, there are only five New Jersey online casinos offering craps and none in other states. Aside from availability, it also has the same issue for mobile play as roulette: The number of betting options available on a craps table can make it hard to get your chips down in just the right spot when you’re playing on a tiny phone screen.

High Roller Bonus

If you’re a high roller or VIP, VIP casinos will roll out the red carpet for you with a special bonus. High roller bonuses reward individuals who deposit significant amounts of money. Some sites even assign a dedicated account manager to ensure you have the best possible experience.

Before you claim a welcome bonus at Arabian online casinos, make sure you read the terms and conditions. The small print includes details on how much you must deposit to qualify for a bonus, wagering requirements, which games you can play with bonus funds, and much more.

What online casino games have the best odds?

Table games and video poker are online casino games with the best odds. To achieve the best odds, you must play optimally and still find a bit of luck.Blackjack may have an expected return-to-player (RTP) of 99.5% with the right strategy. Craps and baccarat both have RTPs close to 99% if you know what bets to place. The best odds probably lie with video poker with some “full-pay” versions that have expected RTPs of over 100%.

Bonuses For Your Favorite Games

FanDuel Casino

FanDuel Casino is the number one online casino in Pennsylvania in terms of popularity and revenue. Like DraftKings, it’s a company known for its daily fantasy sports product, but which has made huge strides in other areas just in the past year. It’s also similar in the way it puts relatively more emphasis on table games and less on slots compared to more traditional casinos.

Pennsylvania was the first state where FanDuel launched a casino product using its own brand, though it subsequently rolled it out in other states as well. It’s unusual in that it’s mobile-only, with no desktop client or browser-based version of the product. On the other hand, you have a choice between a standalone casino app or a sportsbook app with casino games included.

FanDuel’s sign-up bonus works differently from other PA casinos. Instead of a bit of free cash or a deposit match, it will cover your losses for the first 24 hours of play, up to a maximum of $1,000 + $100 in site credits. So make sure you’re ready to start playing when you sign up in order to take maximum advantage.

Hours of Entertainment

Rubber mallets are less likely to leave a mark. -Frank Rosenthal (Avery Cardoza's Player Magazine, 2006)

Unlike the portrayal in the movie Casino where Sam "Ace" Rothstein (Robert De Niro) runs only one casino, the Tangiers, in real life Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal ran four casinos simultaneously, including the Stardust, Hacienda, Fremont and Marina for the Chicago mafia. For legal reasons, the Stardust was renamed the Tangiers in the film. -Las Vegas Sun

Rosenthal ran The Stardust Casino, shown here during the 1970's.

According to Frank Rosenthal himself, yes, this did occur but not under the circumstances portrayed in the movie Casino. The two men who were electronically signaling each other were part of a larger group that had been scamming all the casinos for an extended period of time. The actions taken were meant as a message to the group to deter any of the others from coming back to do the same. -Miami Herald

The Casino movie true story reveals that Sam and Ginger Rothstein's real-life counterparts, Frank and Geraldine Rosenthal, had a daughter named Stephanie and a son name Steven. Geraldine also had a daughter from a previous relationship with her high school love, Lenny Marmor (James Woods' character in the movie).

GTA Online's new Diamond Casino let's you gamble with in-game chips which you can buy with ... [+] real-world money.

Update: It turns out that earlier reports that you could use in-game currency "shark cards" to purchase chips is not actually the case. You can only use cash earned via gameplay. That's definitely better.

There's been an ongoing debate about gambling in video games for the past few years, ever since loot boxes became widespread not just in mobile games, but in console and PC titles like Overwatch, Call of Duty and FIFA.

Now, Rockstar Games have added the Diamond Casino & Resort to GTA Online. It's a pretty cool-sounding new location, replete with a rooftop infinity pool, lots of new missions and a virtual casino where you can spend in-game chips on slot machines, Roulette, Black Jack or Three Hand Poker.

This is where things get . . . dicey. You can spend real money in GTA Online to purchase the game's in-game currency, which you can then spend on cosmetics, vehicles and so forth. You can also now spend this currency on the Casino's chips, which are essentially a second in-game currency that can be used for various Casino-related activities and cosmetics, and to purchase chips with.

So you can spend real money to buy in-game chips and then gamble them away. In the process, you can win chips and spend those chips on more gambling or more in-game content. What you can't do is take those chips and cash them in for real money.
