The Most Popular Online Games in Montreal

Montreal is home to over 1.5 million people, and some of them love to play online games.

In this guide, we’ll take a look at some of those games. In particular, we’ll explore one of the oldest casino games—roulette. We’ll also look at blackjack and discuss the popularity of slot machine games.

But first, let’s take a look at how to get bonuses and deals from online casinos.

How to get Bonuses and Deals

If you’ve never tried an online casino CA before, you may not be aware that when you first sign up for an account, you’ll get access to a special welcome bonus or deal.

One of the most common bonuses offered at the moment is the matched first deposit or matched first bet bonus. With this, the online casino agrees to credit your account with the equivalent amount of your first bet or deposit. So, if you deposit $200, you’ll receive $200 in credit.

Some casino sites even offer to match bets and deposits up to $1,000 or even $2,000, so it’s a worthwhile offer to look out for.

Betting sites that focus more on the casino side of things than sports bets, sometimes offer regular deals, such as free spins on certain slot machine games. We’ll look at slots in more detail below, but if you enjoy these types of games, a bonus like this can be a big plus.

Something you can do is study online casino comparison sites. There, you can find details of the best offers and bonuses, allowing you to make a quick assessment.

Roulette

Roulette is one of the most popular casino games both online and in brick-and-mortar establishments. It’s popular in Montreal, as well as in cities and towns across the globe.

It’s perhaps the most iconic of all casino games, with its long table and grand wheel at one end. The wheel is split up into 37 numbered segments, some of them are red and some of them are black. The dealer spins that wheel and drops a ball, which rolls into a segment.

To win, players have to bet which number the ball will fall on. For a lower payout, they can also bet on whether the number will be odd or even, or the color of the number (red or black). It’s also possible to bet on a range of numbers.

What’s spurred on the popularity of online roulette is that players can now connect to live tables. By this, we mean that they can watch a live stream from an actual casino and bet in real-time, with other people sitting at the actual table. It’s perhaps the most immersive experience possible online and is a game mode that’s become popular in Montreal and beyond.

Blackjack

Blackjack is a game loved for its simplicity. Otherwise known as pontoon or 21, the aim of the game is to use your cards to total a score of 21.

The game begins with all players being dealt two cards each, face down, including the dealer, whom each player is, in effect, competing against. If those cards score 21, or as close to it as possible, you have a very good chance of winning.

Players don’t have to stick with their two cards. If they get a 2 and 4, they cannot win. So, they can “twist”, which means that they’ll receive another card. And they can keep doing this until they hit 21 or go bust, which means that they exceed 21.

If you get a score that is closer to 21 than the dealer’s, you win.

Again, it’s possible to play live blackjack and bet on games happening in real casinos. And as it is such a simple game to play, it can be an entertaining way to pass the time online.

Slots

Another online game that’s popular is slots. In the days of old, slot machines stood in the corners of bars. Or in casinos, you can find them lined up in rows. These games have now found their way online, and some casinos offer hundreds to choose from.

The way you play each one is simple, but the experience can be very different. For example, some are centered around certain themes, like the old film The Goonies. A few mobile devices and betting sites allow you to play virtual reality (VR) slot machine games, which make for a truly immersive experience.
