Casino may refer to:
In the US, the word “casino” is usually synonymous with gambling. However, in some cases it can also refer to a large building that is used for various activities, such as a ski lodge, a hotel or a nightclub. A casino can also be a place where people can take part in games of chance or skill, such as poker, bingo, keno and roulette. It can also refer to an establishment that is licensed by a gambling authority to operate a game of chance or skill, such as baccarat. The term casino may also be used to refer to a group of casinos, especially in the US where there are many different gambling regulations. For example, in Nevada the term “casino” is often used to refer to a combination of a hotel, restaurant and gambling facility. In Canada, where the gaming laws are more liberal, it is common to see the term “casino” used to refer to a large resort that features both a hotel and a casino. The Caesars Windsor in Windsor, Ontario is a good example of this. Unlike most US casinos, it does not dock any winnings or have age restrictions higher than 19. It is also one of the few casinos in North America that features a live dealer casino.
