Casino games compared
Roulette, blackjack, poker and the rest, side by side
What the Casino de Mont-Tremblant actually lists, what the bigger floors in our Canadian casino hotel ranking offer, and how the games differ in pace and mood. This page describes; it does not recommend playing any of them.
What the Mont-Tremblant casino says it has
Loto-Québec describes the Mont-Tremblant floor as 'over 400 slot machines, 14 gaming tables, electronic gaming terminals, and sports betting terminals'. Its network-wide games page names eight table games for this casino: roulette, blackjack, 3 Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, EZ Baccarat, Free Bet Blackjack, Mississippi Stud and Double Down Madness. The same page counts 12 table games for Montréal and Lac-Leamy, 6 for Charlevoix and 4 for Trois-Rivières, so Mont-Tremblant sits in the middle of the Québec family.
Two things shape a visit more than the game list. The tables keep shorter hours than the slots — until 20 December 2026 they open at noon from Thursday to Sunday, and from January to April the Monday-to-Wednesday tables open only at 4 p.m. And the whole casino is closed Monday to Wednesday until 20 December. Check the visit page before you plan an evening around a table.

The comparison table
| Game | At Casino de Mont-Tremblant (Loto-Québec pages) | Elsewhere in our ranking | Pace and feel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roulette | Roulette is one of the 8 table games listed for Mont-Tremblant; the wheel type is not stated. Electronic American and English roulette appear in the Zone list for the network, from $1. | Live roulette is on Loto-Québec's table lists for Montréal, Lac-Leamy and Charlevoix; Stoney Nakoda lists it too. | Slow between spins, social around the layout; many small decisions, little skill. |
| Blackjack | Blackjack, Free Bet Blackjack and Double Down Madness at the tables; electronic blackjack from $5 in the Zone list. | The Montréal and Lac-Leamy list adds Blackjack Switch; Caesars' fact sheet mentions a progressive blackjack. | Quick hands, choices that matter; the dealer sets the rhythm. |
| Poker | House-banked variants: Ultimate Texas Hold'em, 3 Card Poker and Mississippi Stud. No poker room appears on the Mont-Tremblant pages. | Lac-Leamy lists a poker lounge; Casino Rama counts 6 poker tables; Caesars has a dedicated poker room. | Against the house at the table; against other players in a poker room. |
| Slot machines | Over 400 (visit page) or over 350 (games page). | Fallsview 3,200+, Caesars 2,000+, Rama 1,500+, Lac-Leamy 1,400+, Charlevoix 700+, Stoney Nakoda 300+. | The fastest game on the floor; solitary; the easiest place to lose track of time. |
| Baccarat / punto banco | EZ Baccarat is on the Mont-Tremblant table list; baccarat from $5 in the Zone list. | EZ Baccarat is also on the Montréal and Lac-Leamy list. | Very few decisions; a calm table that suddenly gets loud. |
| Electronic tables | The Zone: electronic tables with hosts, a big screen, wagers from $1, open whenever the casino is. | Lac-Leamy also has a Zone; Rama counts electronic table games with its slots. | Several games at once, your own pace, a host calling the results. |
| Craps and sic bo | Only as electronic games in the network's Zone list (availability varies by casino). | Caesars' 2023 fact sheet calls its live craps 'the only live craps game in Ontario'. | Dice games: loud, communal, many bet types. |
| Sports betting | Mise-o-jeu self-serve terminals at Bar Central. | Lac-Leamy has a Mise-o-jeu sportsbook. | A drink-and-screen activity rather than a table. |
Double zero against single zero, with the arithmetic
The difference between the two wheels is one pocket. An American wheel has 38 pockets: the numbers 1 to 36, a zero and a double zero. A European or English wheel has 37, with a single zero. A bet on one number pays 35 to 1 on both wheels, so the extra pocket is pure house margin: over a long run the double-zero wheel keeps about 5.26 cents of every dollar staked, the single-zero wheel about 2.70.
That is not a tip; it is the reason the two wheels exist side by side. The Zone list for Loto-Québec casinos shows both an American and an English electronic roulette, each from $1, with the warning that availability varies by casino. The live wheel at Mont-Tremblant is listed simply as 'Roulette', and we could not find which kind it is, so we will not guess.
Three versions on one small floor
Blackjack is the game where the player's choices change the result most, which is why casinos keep inventing versions of it. Mont-Tremblant lists three at the tables. Plain blackjack is the familiar one: get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. Free Bet Blackjack and Double Down Madness, by their names and Loto-Québec's one-line descriptions, change when you may double or split without adding to your stake. Each variant pays for those freedoms elsewhere in its rules; ask the dealer to explain the table before you sit, and read the rule card.
Electronic blackjack in the Zone starts at $5 per the network list. The bigger floors in our ranking — Caesars Windsor and Lac-Leamy — carry more variants and more tables, which mostly means less waiting on a Saturday night.
Hold'em against the house, and Hold'em against people
Two very different things share the word poker. At a casino table game such as Ultimate Texas Hold'em, 3 Card Poker or Mississippi Stud, you play against the house: the dealer's hand or a pay table decides, and the casino's margin is built in. In a poker room, you play against other guests; the house takes a cut of each pot or a fee, and skill matters over many hands.
Inside the poker room there is a second split. In a cash game the chips are money: you sit down with what you choose, and you can leave at any hand. In a tournament everyone pays the same entry, gets the same stack, and plays until they are out or the prizes are reached. Mont-Tremblant's pages list the three house-banked variants and no poker room. Among Québec casinos, Lac-Leamy lists a poker lounge; in Ontario, Casino Rama counts six poker tables and Caesars Windsor has a dedicated room.
Machines, baccarat, dice and screens
Slot machines are where the numbers on our ranking differ most: from 300-plus at Stoney Nakoda to 3,200-plus at Fallsview. Mont-Tremblant's few hundred machines make a far smaller floor than the big Ontario resorts. Machines are also the fastest game in any casino; a spin takes seconds, and that speed is the reason to set a time limit before you start.
Baccarat — punto banco in older books — asks almost nothing of the player: bet on the player hand, the banker hand or a tie, and the cards are dealt by fixed rules. EZ Baccarat is on Mont-Tremblant's list. Craps and sic bo, the dice games, appear only electronically in Loto-Québec's Zone list. The sports betting terminals at Bar Central belong to Loto-Québec's Mise-o-jeu.
How the evening feels at 18+, in a mountain casino
The casino's own timetable sketches the evening better than any adjective. The Zone's hosts start at 6 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays, at 2 p.m. on Saturdays and at 4 p.m. on Sundays; the DJ nights at Bar Central begin at 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays; Altitude serves dinner from 5 to 10 p.m. A mountain day ends at the lifts and the pools, so a casino evening here is an after-dinner thing rather than an all-night one.
What the pages state as rules: everyone must be 18 or older, including at the bar and restaurant; photo ID is required, and a photo of an ID on a phone is not accepted; phones are not allowed at the gaming tables; the casino is smoke-free inside and out. For help at any hour, Québec's Gambling: Help and Referral line is 1-800-461-0140.
