Five live poker rooms across Québec

Five venues in this guide run live poker rooms: four Loto-Québec casinos and gaming halls, plus Playground in Kahnawà:ke. This page gives no advice on how to play.

The rooms

Casino de Montréal keeps its poker room on Level A of the Pavillon de la France. It has 18 No-Limit Texas Hold’em tables, with a minimum wager of $1/$2. In Gatineau, the OK POKER room at Casino du Lac-Leamy sits in the Carrière section, with 13 No-Limit Texas Hold’em tables at the same $1/$2 minimum.

The Salon de jeux de Québec does not publish its number of poker tables. Its room deals No-Limit Texas Hold’em with a $1/$2 minimum. It opens Monday to Friday 1 p.m. to 3 a.m., and Saturday and Sunday noon to 3 a.m. Trois-Rivières runs four No-Limit Texas Hold’em tables, also from $1/$2. Hours there are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 6 p.m. to 3 a.m., then weekends 1 p.m. to 3 a.m.

No Wednesday poker hours are given for Trois-Rivières. Playground, in Kahnawà:ke, has 65 poker tables on its 3rd floor, open 24/7, with daily cash games and tournaments.

Neither Casino de Mont-Tremblant nor Casino de Charlevoix lists a live poker room.
