Playground, in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake about 20 minutes from downtown, is the biggest poker room in Canada. PokerNews lists it at 61 tables, open 24 hours, and it won the fan vote for poker room of the year at the 2024 Global Poker Awards.
It is also the busiest tournament venue in the country. In 2026 it hosted three WSOP Circuit festivals, the last of them the first WSOP Super Circuit held in Canada, from August 26 to September 12.
Poker rooms in and around Montreal
| Casino | Poker | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Playground 1500 Route 138, Kahnawake | Poker room | 61 tables, open around the clock, licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. Cash games on the third floor and a full tournament calendar. |
| Casino de Montréal 1 avenue du Casino, Île Notre-Dame | Poker room | Loto-Québec's flagship has a poker room with Hold'em cash games. Much smaller than Playground. |
Checked November 14, 2026. “Call first” means our sources disagreed or were more than a year old. Poker rooms change their days and games more often than any other part of a casino, so a two-minute phone call is worth it everywhere.
Before you go
- Quebec's legal age is 18.
- Playground uses the English deck (K, Q, J). Casino de Montréal uses the French one (R, D, V), which throws people for the first orbit.
- During a WSOP Circuit festival the cash games at Playground run far bigger than usual. Good time to visit, bad time to find parking.
Live or online: what changes
| Live room | Online | |
|---|---|---|
| Hands per hour | About 25 to 30 | 60 or more per table, and you can play several tables |
| Smallest game | Usually $1/$2 or $1/$3 | Pennies. $0.01/$0.02 tables run all day |
| Rake | Higher, with a bigger cap | Lower, and some rooms pay part of it back |
| Reading opponents | Faces, chips, timing, table talk | Bet sizing and timing only |
| Getting a seat | Wait list on busy nights | Seated in seconds |
Most players who do both use live poker for the night out and online for volume. Neither one is the “real” game.
