Victoria, British Columbia is a stunning city located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. It is renowned for its picturesque natural beauty, vibrant culture, and rich history. It is also home to a couple of casinos, providing visitors and locals alike with the opportunity to enjoy some gaming action. If you're looking for a "real" casino in Victoria, you only have one option: Elements Casino in View Royal.
There is another casino called Chances Cowichan that is located in Duncan, a city about an hour north of Victoria, but that casino doesn't have much more than a few slots and a concession stand. So if you're looking for a big, loud casino with lots of different games, a nice restaurant, live entertainment, or someplace classy to go out on a night on the town and gamble, your only option is Elements Casino.
Here are a few details about each of the two casinos currently operating in and around Victoria BC.
