Casinos: Bringing people together

B.C.’s 36 casinos and gaming centres in 33 communities bring people together through games, dining and live entertainment. These venues also give back — Municipal and First Nations governments hosting a facility receive 10% of net gambling income to support local programs. Player well-being is a priority, with GameSense Advisors on-site to engage guests, offer guidance and train staff on responsible gaming. More than entertainment, these spaces foster connection while supporting the communities they serve.
