Casino Niagara is a commercial casino located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It opened in 1996, on the site of the former Maple Leaf Village amusement park. With a prime location beside Clifton Hill, it was originally conceived as a temporary facility until Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort opened but has remained open as a permanent facility. It is the second Casino to open in Ontario,^[1] and the first to feature electronic Roulette. Casino Niagara has over 1,300 slots and over 40 table games, as well as sports betting.^[2][3]

Ownership and management[edit]

Canada gambling, as a whole, has some interesting laws surrounding it. Essentially, all provinces here have the ability to set their own regulations toward the land-based and online gambling industry. Legal gambling exists under the federal Criminal Code, yet provinces are responsible for monitoring and setting individual laws. Answer 1 of 11: What is the minimum age a person can enter a casino at Niagara Falls, Canada? I have searched and found conflicting answers. I want to plan a trip and include casinos, and my daughter is 18.

The Casino is owned by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. As of June 2019, the casino's day-to-day operations are managed by Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment, owner of Mohegan Sun.^[4]

The Casino completed a $7 million renovation in 2017.^[5]
