Cross a provincial line and three things change at once: the age at the casino door, the body that writes the rules, and the free number you would ring for help. Pick your destination below; each section opens with those rules and then lists the hotels we cover there.
British Columbia: casino age 19
British Columbia's door age is 19, BCLC manages the casinos and the IGCO regulates them. From June 2023, B.C. casinos have checked a government photo ID for each person coming in, matched against the province's restricted-entry list. Our two Lower Mainland hotels could hardly be less alike: one is a resort on a SkyTrain line, the other a modest hotel next to a neighbourhood casino.
