Montreal Playground Casino

Playground delivers a Montreal-area casino experience for players in Canada, both on the gaming floor and online. Expect poker-forward energy, a simple cashier, and practical tools that encourage controlled play.

Our physical address is 1500 Route 138, Kahnawà:ke, QC J0L 1B0, just south of Montreal. We’re open 24/7, with the busiest stretch on weekends between 7 PM and 2 AM.

Inside, the space is designed around poker and variety play. We run 44 poker tables and keep over 1,000+ gaming machines available for different styles and budgets.

On-site highlights

• Dedicated poker areas with tournament-ready seating and an easy-to-follow layout.
• Gaming machines suited to short sessions or longer, steady play.
• Dining options for a quick break or a planned meal.
• Payments in CAD, with major cards accepted throughout.

Dining stays close to the gaming rhythm, with The Rail for comfort food and Drunken Dragon for Japanese cuisine. Operations run under Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission oversight for Canadian compliance in Canada.

Poker Stakes & Tournament Limits

Poker sits at the centre of our game menu, with multiple variants and formats. The lobby makes it easy to move between cash tables, tournaments, and sit & go sessions without disrupting your session.

Cash games start at micro-stakes CA$0.01/0.02 and climb to high-roller limits of CA$25/50. Tournament buy-ins run from CA$5 to CA$1,000+, with guaranteed pools reaching CA$100,000.

Formats and variants available

• Texas Hold’em for familiar structure and quick table selection.
• Omaha for higher-action hands and bigger equity swings.
• Short Deck for compressed ranges and sharper postflop decisions.
• Progressive jackpots for players who like an extra upside layer.

Major tournament windows follow Eastern Time, with headline events typically starting 7-9 PM ET. Registration opens 24 hours ahead of an event, and late registration is available for most tournaments.

Table search and lobby filters

The poker lobby serves as the hub for all formats, with filters that narrow your options quickly. Sort by format, variant, stakes, table size, and special features, then join a table while keeping the lobby open for multi-tabling.

• Use favourites to track tables you return to often.
• Check real-time seating updates before joining.
• Move between cash games and tournaments without reloading the lobby.

Casino Gaming Machines

On the Montreal-area floor, gaming machines complement the poker ecosystem rather than compete with it. The selection works well for quick play, longer sessions, and easy breaks between tournaments.

With over 1,000+ machines on-site, options stay wide even during peak hours. Weekends can be busiest between 7 PM and 2 AM, so arriving earlier helps if you prefer quieter aisles.

Payments & floor access

Transactions are handled in CAD, keeping budgeting simple for players in Canada. Major cards are accepted, and the environment is set up for smooth transitions between machines, tables, and dining.

Short Deck Poker

Short Deck adds speed and volatility, changing how hands connect and how value develops across streets. It suits players who prefer tighter decision windows and frequent action.

We offer Short Deck across our poker selection alongside Hold’em and Omaha. That makes it easy to mix formats in the same session, especially when cash tables and tournaments run in parallel.

Online access & licensing in Canada

Online access launched in August 2021 through a GGPoker partnership, extending Playground to digital play nationwide. The same Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission licence applies, and the minimum age is 18+ under Quebec rules.

Device and system requirements

• Windows 10/11 or macOS 10.13+ for desktop play.
• iOS 13.0+ or Android 8.0+ for mobile play.
• 4GB RAM minimum and 2GB storage available.
• 5+ Mbps internet connection for stable gameplay.

Mobile play supports biometric login where available, plus auto-sync between devices. A data-saving mode can reduce bandwidth by 60%, which helps on slower connections.

Deposits & Withdrawals in CAD

Our cashier is designed for Canadian payment habits, with deposits and withdrawals processed in CAD. Funds are typically available immediately after a successful deposit, so you can register for a tournament or sit down at a table right away.

Deposits follow a clear flow: open the cashier from the dashboard, choose a method, enter an amount, then confirm. The minimum deposit for the cashier flow is CA$10, and withdrawals can take from instant to 3 business days, depending on method.

Payment methods & processing times

Account security & responsible play

Account protection includes encryption and payment safeguards, alongside geolocation checks that confirm you are in Canada. VPN use can trigger geo-verification, so set up a trusted connection before you travel.

Responsible gaming tools are available in your account area, including daily, weekly, and monthly deposit caps. Limit decreases apply instantly, while increases require a 24-hour cooling period.

24/7 bilingual player support

Support runs 24/7/365 in English and French, with targets of under 2 minutes for live chat, 1 hour for email, and immediate phone help. For technical issues, the help menu routes you to technical support, where remote diagnostics can resolve common geolocation and payment problems.

If you prefer a cautious start, begin with a small deposit and set limits first. Promotions and welcome offers are available, including bundles advertised as C$3000 plus 250 free spins, with a listed minimum deposit of C$80 for that specific offer.
