Two Most Popular Ontario Casinos By Search Volume

Tied for No. 1 were the Fallsview Casino and Casino Rama. Each had a Google Search volume of 13, far outdistancing the casinos listed after them.

All 372 of the Fallsview’s rooms and suites offer stunning views of the breath-taking natural attraction.

The casino resort itself offers the typical casino games, meaning slots, table games and live Ontario poker. Among the fancier eateries is 21 Club Steak and Seafood, Ponte Vecchio fine Italian dining, and Noodle Bar featuring noodle dishes and elegant sushi. Plus, there are favorites familiar to most travelers, such as Starbucks, Burger King, and Subway. Some folks might want to make at least a brief visit to the Niagara Brewing Company Taproom.

Sharing the top spot is Casino Rama. Casino Rama, an all-suite hotel-casino resort in the town of Rama near Lake Simcoe. One of the marquee features of Casino Rama is its 5,000-seat Entertainment Centre. The casino itself is worthy of Las Vegas. The nearly 200,000-square-foot casino has more than 1,700 slot machines and about 50 gaming tables.
