Top Attractions at Montreal Casino: Games, Dining & Entertainment

Can’t say many urban casinos are plopped in the middle of manicured parkland. Mind you, “urban” isn’t quite the first adjective to spring to mind when chatting about the Montreal Casino.

One moment, you’re quietly contemplating a wild fox or grumpy groundhog—don’t ask, they just are—passing through as you sit under a weeping willow by the water. The next you’re honing your blackjack skills followed by an outdoor stroll along a Formula One race track to help digest that poutine you just wolfed down. Sounds strange to you? Ha. That’s the only way I know how to gamble. Then again, gambling is the last thing I do at the Montreal Casino. I go there to dance, eat, and hang out in the surrounding gardens at whatever time of the day I please. After all, Casino de Montréal doors are open 24/7.

Just don’t count on unlimited free alcohol. Vegas, this is not.

Montreal Casino: The Lights, The Parties, the Gambling Glitz

If you’re the antithesis of my dancing queen self and intend to show up instead for the specific purpose of gambling, count on access to baccarat, poker, blackjack, keno, sic bo, craps, and roulette tables. The requisite slot machines, totaling around 3,000, are also available. Insiders whisper that some of the highest betting limits in Canada are right here. Moreover, table game tournaments are also a regular feature, making the Montreal Casino a premier gambling destination.

Montreal Casino: Dress Code?

If there is a dress code, I certainly didn’t get the memo. I’ve seen everything at the Casino, from couture gowns to joggers that could be mistaken for pajamas, or vice versa. Come as you are, though it never hurts to pile on the posh.

Montreal Casino: Cabaret

Live performances—think Tony Bennett or Gino Vannelli—as well as poker tournaments, variety shows, and boxing matches are part of the Casino de Montréal’s main attractions. This is a reboot of the cabaret venue, which underwent a $300 million renovation project. A significant $22 million was devoted to revamping the cabaret itself, completed over the course of six years from 2009 until its reopening in 2015.

Montreal Casino: Restaurants & Bars

With both fine dining and pub grub under one roof, you could score a smoked meat sandwich, a plate of Asian fare, or an entrée of foie gras au torchon. However, if you can’t decide, just head for the buffet. Montreal Casino restaurants and bars cater to every price range and taste preference.

Montreal Casino Opening Hours and Admission

There is free admission to access the grounds. However, tickets are generally required for access to cabaret performances. Remember that the Montreal Casino is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
