Gambling has long been a popular pastime in Canada, and is permitted – but regulated – across this massive country’s three territories and ten provinces. Organisations like lotteries, casinos and racetracks must all follow the laws of their respective provinces or territories. Depending on where you are in Canada, there may be different legalities around gambling, and how old one must be in order to participate.

It’s a question that’s often posed, with answers that unfortunately aren’t quite clear. Playing at casinos and placing real money bets are popular forms of entertainment in Canada, but the gambling laws surrounding these practices aren’t cut and dry – as is the case in various other countries around the world.

The earliest Australian pokie machines are rumoured to have sprung from an 1891 machine based on the game of poker. Things have come a long way since then, however, it did take close to 100 years for the first video slot machine to make an appearance. Today, there are hundreds of gaming developers pumping out an endless supply of new gambling slot machines for the modern gambler to enjoy.
