Whether it is web-based casino games or online video games, Canadians love playing games on the internet. And now that everyone carries a smartphone with them at all times, it means we can play online games whenever we want. But what are the online gaming preferences of us Canadians? Let’s find out.
Which online casino games do Canadians prefer?
According to Canada Infolink, Canada ranks number eight in the world for online casino gaming. The provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and our very own Alberta have all launched their own online gambling sites, and many Canadians love to play games at offshore online casinos.
