There are hundreds of casinos across the Americas and this number is growing all of the time. These include many of the establishments you’re probably already familiar with, as well as a few that you’re definitely not. In this article, we’ll look at the latter.

The Palazzo, Las Vegas, USA

Whether you’re looking for a Caesar’s casino promo code to sample a famous casino’s hospitality or something more unique, the US is the best place for land-based gambling in the Americas. There are a few big options to choose from here, but the Palazzo is one of the most interesting.

It’s a classy casino that’s attached to the Venetian and it offers all of the style, glitz, and glamor that you would expect from this famous Sin City destination.

Mobile gambling is available if you don’t want to leave your home and there are also some great restaurants and bars here, as well as a pool. What more could you ask for?

Monticello Grand Casino, Chile

The Monticello Grand Casino is located in San Francisco de Mostazal, Santiago, and is Chile’s best casino. It’s also one of the most popular casinos in South America.

There are stacks of gambling tables, slots, and sports books, providing the perfect blend of games to suit both new and experienced gamblers. Play some poker, spin some slots, or enjoy a few cocktails as you play a few games of blackjack.

City Center Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina

This award-winning casino is one of the biggest in the Americas and can even rival the mega-casinos in Las Vegas. There are over 3,000 slots, and you’ll also find dozens of table games. You can even play a few games of bingo in the casino’s massive bingo hall.

If you spend the night here, you’ll be wined and dined in 5-star luxury. The City Center Rosario is a vacation destination that you won’t forget in a hurry.

Hideaway at Royalton Riviera Cancun, Mexico

The Hideaway is one of the best casinos in Mexico. It’s also one of the most accessible, as it’s located near Cancun Airport. It’s lively, elegant, and offers games of poker, roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and more. Stop by for a bite to eat, some great cocktails, and a game or two.

Casino Niagara, Ontario

As the name suggests, the Casino Niagara is located next to the famous waterfall. It’s a casino resort with lots of hotel rooms and a massive gaming floor. If you’re staying in one of its many rooms, you can enjoy views of the amazing Niagara Falls. If not, don’t worry, as the epic waterfall is just a stone’s throw from the resort.

Veneto, Via Espana, Panama

Veneto is located close to the beaches and is a great destination for your luxurious Central American vacation. It is a huge casino that offers sports betting, table games, poker, and slots. It’s owned by Wyndham, so you know that you’re getting a clean, comfortable, stylish, and sizeable casino.

The Veneto spans a total of 17 stories and features 301 rooms and suites, in addition to all of the usual amenities and entertainment options you’d expect from a luxury casino resort.

Wealthsimple announced the release of Wealthsimple Predict, providing retail investors the ability to trade event contracts on Kalshi. The standalone application is scheduled to launch this summer. Through the app, users will have access to approximately 4000 Kalshi event-based contracts in categories Wealthsimple is authorized to offer in the Canadian market, specifically climate, financial markets, and economic indicators.

“Prediction markets are the fastest-growing segment of global financial markets, letting traders turn an opinion into a position on the factors that shape our world – where inflation is headed, what happens to rates, or how the year unfolds. Until now, Canadians have had limited access. Wealthsimple Predict gives Canadians a clean, well-designed way to access these markets, with education and guardrails built in from day one,” said Brett Huneycutt, co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Wealthsimple.

“Kalshi was founded on a simple belief: views on the future should have markets, and those markets should be available to everyone. That’s why we’re partnering with Wealthsimple, Canada’s leading financial innovator – to give everyday investors in Canada access to fair, secure, and regulated prediction markets,” said Alex Cuoci, Kalshi.

In March, the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) authorized Wealthsimple to offer event and forecast contract trading, also known as prediction markets. These contracts are regulated as futures contracts (derivatives). The approval covers contracts with a 30-day settlement period or longer, within the categories of economic indicators, financial markets, and climate. Wealthsimple is the second investment dealer to receive regulatory approval from CIRO for prediction markets.

To access trading through Wealthsimple Predict, new clients must complete a standard Know Your Client (KYC) process. Education is built into every stage of the experience, including a guided orientation of a client’s first trade. The app also shows users key disclosures and definitions, including trading risk reminders, contract resolution information, notices that positions can be sold at any time, and liquidity risk warnings on lower-activity markets. Wealthsimple Predict will only be available to Canadian residents.

Kalshi is authorized to operate in the US as an event contracts exchange, with federal authority from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the regulatory authority for the U.S. derivatives market. Prediction markets follow the same regulatory framework applied to other financial assets traded in the US, such as equities, bonds, and traditional derivatives, with clear rules for price formation, settlement, and governance.

MediaTroopers said it is preparing to launch in Alberta’s regulated gaming market on July 13, as Canada’s next regulated commercial gaming market opens.

The digital marketing and customer acquisition firm said it plans to enter Alberta alongside eight “premium operator” clients, which it said are also preparing for their own market entries. MediaTroopers did not name the operators.

The company said its Alberta offering will mirror its work in Ontario, including localized acquisition strategies, compliance-focused marketing, regional player education, and market-tailored performance campaigns.

MediaTroopers also said it has seen “strong interest” from Alberta players through pre-registration activity, without providing figures.

“Alberta represents an exciting next step for regulated iGaming in Canada, and Media Troopers is ready to support operators from day one,” said Shmulik Segal, CEO of Media Troopers. “Our experience in Ontario has given us a strong understanding of what it takes to enter a new Canadian market successfully, from compliance and localization to scalable player acquisition. With eight of our premium clients already preparing for launch and early pre-registration traction underway, we see Alberta as a market with tremendous potential.”
