What to carry, and what to leave in the room, for an evening at the casino
Photo ID, a coat, a plan. The casino's rules, turned into a short packing list.

A ski bag has a checklist: goggles, gloves, pass. An evening at the Casino de Mont-Tremblant has one too, and most of it comes straight from Loto-Québec's visit page.
In your pocket
- Government photo ID. Entry is 18+, anyone who looks under 25 may be asked, and a photo of your licence on a phone will not do.
- A coat, not a backpack. The coat check runs during opening hours; backpacks, motorcycle helmets and umbrellas are not allowed on the floor.
- The amount you have decided on. Cash or a card for a set withdrawal. The cash desk can also change US dollars and euros into Canadian dollars.
- The time of your return shuttle. It runs at :00 and :30 from the casino.
In the room
- Any extra cards. The fewer ways to top up, the easier a limit is to keep.
- Your phone at the tables — not allowed there anyway; step away from the table to use it.
- Clothing with violent imagery, which the dress code refuses.
- Anything you would hate to lose: the casino warns it is not liable for thefts in its lots and lost items.
And one thing to carry in your head: Québec's Gambling: Help and Referral line, 1-800-461-0140, answers at any hour, in French or English, free and confidential. If an evening ever stops feeling like an evening, that is the number.
