Casino Games and Fun
With over three thousand slots and video poker machines and 130 games tables there are plenty of options for the local and well-travelled player. The table games offer Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, Roulette and many other favourites that cater to all gambling tastes and budgets. In 2015 the Casino completed a redesign of its Asian gaming area and the whole building has been originally designed in accordance with the ancient Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui.
There is a newly renovated Five-Star Poker room, billed as the largest in Canada and Western New York, equipped with nine state-of-the-art televisions ranging from 80″ to 90”. Make a note of this number + 1 (905) 371-7777 and you can call up to ninety minutes prior to arrival to be placed on up to three wait lists, then check in at the Poker desk upon arrival.
For high-limit Gamesters the Salon Prive´ offers wagering as high as five figures, the highest in the area, on a variety of games including Baccarat, Blackjack, Euro Roulette (Single zero) and Craps.
Big Jackpots
Fallsview likes to advertise their jackpots as a big part of the winning experience at the Casino. Their first big payout came in October 2004 just 4 months after the Casino opened, when it paid out one of the largest slot jackpots in Canadian history, almost $5.8 million. In 2015 a Filipino nanny living in Toronto won $1million on a Mighty Millionaire slot game, after playing little over three minutes on the machine. In March 2016, a $1,073,904.69 jackpot on the TitanicTM Mighty MillionaireTM progressive slot game was paid to a woman from St. Catharines, Ontario. She had played 27 spins over approximately three minutes.
They are currently running a Bad Beat progressive Jackpot on the Texas Hold’em tables which has a moderate qualifier and a winning track record. The jackpot value gets updated regularly on the Fallsview website.
2017 will see ‘The Fallsview Poker Classic World Poker Tour’ February 17 – February 24.
The ‘Falls for Cash Slot Tournament’ opens January 11, with prizes totalling CAD $60,000 and the ‘Blackjack 21 Tournament’ is back on January 16 with a grand prize of CAD $25,000. Their website gives tournament entry fees, information and prizes.
