Canada has been in the gambling news a lot recently, a bit odd for a country with no plans for changing their gambling situation. Nonetheless, they’ve been in the news.

Canadians have always had the ability to play at online casinos as they wish, but now they’ll be able to play at an online casino run by their local government. Provincial governments have been working with established software developers in order to make sure that these casinos will be competitive with Jackpot City slots. British Columbia was the first province to open their own online casino, and it seems they rushed it a little. When their casino opened they had a bit of a technical glitch that allowed players to play with one another’s money and in some cases even see other player’s personal information. These problems have been sorted out and the casino has been reopened, although quite a bit of damage has been done to its reputation. Even so, the casino is doing well and this has other provinces considering their own online casinos. Prince Edward Island is set to be the next with their own casino. They are estimating that this casino could bring in as much as $50 million annually. If all goes well with these casinos then Ontario plans to have its own casino by 2012.

Whether or not you’re a Prince Edward Island resident, there is still an online casino in Canada for you. All Slots Casino, for example, is one such site that offers Canadian gamers a wide selection of entertainment to choose from.
