Weekender's casino guide to Niagara Falls

Saturday at Casino Niagara

Casino Niagara is a two-floor casino that has been one of the top attractions for Niagara Tourism since 1996. Located in the centre of downtown Niagara Falls at 5705 Falls Avenue, this casino provides easy access to hotels, restaurants and, of course, the mighty falls themselves.

Here are all the amazing attractions the casino has to offer year-round:

Slots: Warm up with one of Casino Niagara’s 1,300 slot machines located on both floors of the casino.

This is your go-to location for slots and video poker games, including over 350 progressive slot machines. Betting denominations range from pennies to $5, so they’re perfect for beginners.

Poker: Those looking to bet larger sums can head to the second floor for table games and poker. Casino Niagara is the only place in Niagara Falls where you can play poker, so plan accordingly if you want to flex your poker skills.

The Poker Room is open 24 hours a day and features a grand view of the falls and 26 poker tables, including Three Card Poker or Texas Hold’em.

Tables are open to high and low bets, so you can join in regardless of your budget, however the Texas Hold’em jackpot regularly grows to six figures.

Other Card Games: The casino has 40 tables with a variety of games, including Mississippi Stud, Roulette, Blackjack, Spanish 21 and Baccarat.

The casino even has state-of-the-art electronic game tables where you can get the feel of a live dealer with the ease of an electronic betting terminal.

Dynasty electronic table games are available for Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette and Sic Bo.

Interactive Gaming: If you’re in the mood to game, head to LEV2L Sports Bar & Entertainment on the second floor of Casino Niagara.

Take a break with one of three interactive gaming opportunities—Golden Tee golfing, Silver Strike bowling, and PowerPutt mini-golfing.  

These games range from the casual to prize play, so you can keep your winning streak going even after you’ve left the casino floor.

If you need to fuel up between gaming sessions, LEV2L Sports Bar serves all the pub style favourites, from nachos and wings to pizza and burgers.

You can also pick up light snacks, sandwiches and beverages, including gourmet coffee and tea from Perks Café.
