    Canadian state-owned casinos vs American casinos

    I want to get a general idea of people's experiences at canadian vs american casinos specifically concerning how much heat
    you felt you got for a 1-15 spread, preferably from people that have gone to both types.

    State owned casinos in Canada are supposedly much stricter with what allows them to boot you, and I want to confirm or deny
    this.

    I've been booted for supposedly being rude (low stakes). At higher stakes, you will still get backed off, usually with a "your welcome to play anything but"

    BTW, no casinos are state owned. All casinos rules are legislated by the various Provincial jurisdictions.

    Thanks for clarifying. What part of the country was this in?

    15-1 spread on a shoe game will be the same anywhere imo, not worthy of thinking about heat. ON casinos site the trespass act when they 86 you and they will use police to get your ID. What the law may say and how a casino behaves often differ.

    I'm curious, why is it that you think that casinos will use police to get your ID?

    Just went up there, its about the same from what I could see while I was in there. It felt a little sweaty just because everyone's a big stickler about not being a "loud american". Whatever lol.

    Canadian casinos are generally very tolerant.

    It has happened to myself twice and other AP's have told me it has happened to them. ON casinos must have provincial police on site 24/7 so the relationship between casinos and police is extremely cozy.
