A Casino is an establishment where people can gamble. Typically, these facilities are built near or combined with hotels, restaurants, retail shops and cruise ships. Some casinos specialize in specific types of gambling, such as poker or baccarat. In the United States, legalized casinos can be found in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, and casinos on American Indian reservations have grown in number since the 1980s.

Most casinos have security measures in place to deter cheating and theft by patrons and staff. These may include a physical security force and specialized surveillance departments. In addition, most modern casinos have closed circuit television (CCTV) systems that monitor activity throughout the property.

Ideally, an online Canadian casino should provide multiple ways to contact customer support. This should include a live chat option that is available 24/7, a North American phone number and quick email support. The best sites also feature a variety of games and accept a wide range of payment methods, with no transaction fees.

Many of the best Canadian casinos offer a mobile version of their site, which is optimized for use on a smartphone or tablet. This means that the interface is easy to navigate, games load quickly and there are no lags or bugs when playing on a smaller screen. In addition, the best sites have a good selection of mobile games and offer a wide variety of bonus offers for players who prefer to play on the go.
