A night out at the casino can be a great way to spend the evening with a group of friends, no matter what the occasion. It may be someone’s birthday, or a stag or bachelorette party, or just a good excuse for a bunch of friends to get together. Whatever the reason, you’re bound to have a great time and if luck is on your side, you could come home with more money than you went out with!
Before you head out to the casino with your friends, though, it’s a good idea to get some practice in online. There are many different online casinos offering a similar range of games such as blackjack and roulette, as well as huge numbers of slots games. Many allow you free play practice mode, which is great if you’re a novice, and when you want to play with real money, there are lots of bonuses available for new players.
If you’ve not yet tried any of the online casinos, then you may be wondering where to start. To make life easier take the advice of the experts at bonus.ca, a site that monitors the different online casinos open to Canadian players and the different bonuses that are on offer. During January, there’s a special Zodiac Casino Bonus to take advantage of – anyone putting down $1 when they sign up to the site will get $20 to play with, and then a 100% bonus on a second deposit – where the site matches the amount you put in. The Zodiac Casino has over 420 games to choose from, including table games such as roulette and blackjack and hundreds of different slots.
Once you’ve got the hang of playing the different casino classics such as roulette and blackjack online, you’ll be ready to try out your gaming skills in a land-based casino and know what you need to do when you walk up to a gaming table.
So where’s the best place for a night out at the casino in the Vancouver area?

There are a number of casinos to choose from in the region, including the Greater Victoria View Royal Casino, the Edgewater Casino and the River Rock Casino Resort.
- At the View Royal, although there’s the latest in gaming technology with 300 slots and 30 gaming tables, the vibe is definitely the glamour of yesteryear in this 35,000 square foot casino, so feel free to dress up in black tie and evening wear and really look the part.
- In downtown Vancouver, there’s the Edgewater Casino next to BC Place on the shores of False Creek. Here you’ll have the choice of more than 600 slots and 70 table games. As with other land-based casinos there’s also great food in the restaurants and live entertainment in the Stadium Club.
- In Richmond, the River Rock Casino resort has casino gaming, live entertainment and a great hotel all in one. The gaming floor has over 1,000 slots, 1400 table games, a dedicated poker room and high limit VIP rooms too, if you’ve got the budget to play in them. The waterfront setting is a stunning place to spend a night or the weekend.

These are just three of the places in Vancouver where you can have a great night at the gaming tables; there are other casinos in the area too. Just remember when you’re gambling online or at a land-based casino to follow the golden rule of sensible gambling – never bet with money that you can’t afford to lose.
