When Albertans want to participate in the entertainment value that is brought about by a LIVE wagering experience, they have a variety of betting options to choose from.
Betting at casinos and bingo halls is by far the most common form of gambling in the province; in addition, there is some action at live race tracks where people can place bets on horses.
Traditional land-based sportsbooks won’t be available in Alberta for at least a few more years, even though they are rumored to be a part of the provincial government’s long-term betting strategy.
When sports fans get together to watch significant games, the primary viewing experience they go towards is large sports bars like Schanks Athletic Club in Calgary and The Rec Room in Edmonton.
