Pure entertainment or gambling addiction? How to understand what is offered to the Canadian player?

For many, playing in a casino is associated with a "great" exit, but due to the transfer of traditional casinos to the virtual world, they have lost their "uniqueness". Now, after meeting a few necessary requirements (such as 18 years of age, registration or account top-up), players can play at any time and place they choose, on a device that only they have access to. Perhaps we can speak of gambling addiction when a player "jumps" from casino to casino in search of newer and newer promotions and bonuses on offer. And actually lives to "immerse" in the virtual world.

Maybe it's worth bringing closer to what is gambling?

Gambling is a way of entertainment, a game during which the main factor determining victory is simply fate: the good one (when we win) or the bad one (when we lose). What causes great emotions in the players is the amount of the stake and the possibility of turning it into a real fortune. That is why players often put everything on "one card" counting on a favorable fate. Previously, to gamble, you had to go to the casino. Since the beginning of the 21st century, casinos have become increasingly popular in the virtual world, and each player can enjoy the game at any time of the day or night without leaving home.

Casino games top choices of the players themselves

Anyone who has tried their luck at least once knows that the most popular gambling games are slots, i.e. one-armed bandits (aka hot spots) transferred from salons or land-based casinos. Other entertainment options chosen by players are table games such as roulette, blackjack, baccarat and poker.

However, the favorite and most often chosen by Canadian players are virtual slots.

Game developers are almost outdoing each other in improving their flagship slots, on which you can now play on almost all possible media (computers, tablets, smartphones) operating in different operating systems and not lose anything on the quality and pleasure of the game.

Canadian players do not run out of line and choose these slots, which are also very popular in other places around the world. These are Mega Joker, which many players can never get bored of, because it offers a considerable 40 paylines. Added to this is the gamble option, which does not need to be explained to players; it's like betting on one card (here it's about the same suit) and either the player wins a significantly increased prize or nothing. Hot Spot is the number one slot of all time. With great success, this slot was transferred from land-based casinos to the virtual world, where it conquers the hearts of subsequent generations of players. It's also a game for those who look back on the 90s with nostalgia. Sizzling Hot, on the other hand, is the best fruit slot out there. Probably not one player may be surprised by this game full of vitamins and colors, which can bring a considerable fortune if only good fortune smiles at the player. Players recommend this game available on gambling sites to all those who are just starting their conquests. The Book of Ra, on the other hand, is a story set in ancient Egypt, where the one-armed bandit "takes" the player. Players appreciate this slot for its excellent bonus rounds and frequent free spins.

Online gambling is a moment to "break away" from reality

Nowadays, virtual entertainment is becoming more and more popular, and players want to be able to access their favorite games at any time, any day, anywhere. That is why mobile versions of casinos available for tablets or smartphones are being improved more and more. Large casinos create their applications and versions for devices smaller than computers, positively surprising players.

Regardless of whether we want to play in a traditional, land-based casino or online, we can do it remembering that we have to take into account the age of gambling, which is not less than 18 years of age.

Gambling in Canada, especially online, offers players a lot of opportunities. So what should you pay attention to when entering an online casino website? Casinos outdo each other in showering players with bonuses and promotions. Many casinos give you the opportunity to play demo versions without a deposit. This means that the player registers and can try out many slots without paying any fees. Thanks to this, you can find your favorite slots and improve your playing technique. What players love are free spins, welcome codes, deposit doubling, bonuses for new players and many other options.

Gambling and online entertainment safety

In Canada, the gambling law has been in force since 2017, which is more restrictive than the one in 

The purpose of the act was to monitor gambling slots, and thus influence the reduction of the number of people addicted to gambling. However, it is quite different in practice. This has certainly brought the Canada state control over huge financial receipts, because every game, every win or every license for a casino or slot is subject to extremely high taxes (sometimes as in the case of winnings amounting to as much as 50% of the winnings).

How to play to get entertainment and respite from the troubles of everyday life and not fall into addiction, gambling addiction? The border between these two states is very thin and each player must set limits for himself (own funds or time devoted to playing). We, for our part, encourage you to this proven way to temporarily break away from reality, we only emphasize everything in moderation.
