The most popular types of gambling in Canada include: sports betting, lotteries, bingo, slot machines and canadian online casino.
Land-based casinos are gradually becoming less popular: all legal gambling establishments in Canada reported a drop in revenue even before the quarantine began. For example, casino revenues in Alberta for 2021-2022 confirm this trend with a 24% decline in offline casino revenue. After the introduction of quarantine restrictions, the provincial government decided to launch its own online casinos in order to somehow stay afloat and continue to earn. The same thing happened in other provinces.
