Twelve city guides, each with the casinos that deal poker, their addresses, and what to confirm before you make the drive. Poker rooms change their days and games more often than anything else in a casino, so every guide marks which rooms we could confirm and which ones need a phone call first.
The legal age is 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec and 19 everywhere else, and every casino checks ID.

Live poker and online poker
A live table deals about 25 to 30 hands an hour and rarely runs below $1/$2. Online you see more than twice that on one table and can play for pennies. Most players who do both treat a casino as the night out and online as the practice. Which online rooms you can use depends on your province, and that is set out under provinces.
No card room nearby? The home game tools will run a tournament at your kitchen table, and the WSOP's Canadian stops are on the WSOP satellites page.
