| - I like our casino! It has shows, a buffet, all sorts of games (machines and tables) on multiple floors, friendly to locals and to tourists, has a gift shop (carries Ricardo products), other food counter options, and a live band. There is a high-roller section too. Come during the holidays and there are prizes to be won. Register for a privilege card to rack in more "points" (please read up more on points to know how to earn/redeem, and who can register). What I also like about this casino, is its history - it is built in the French and Quebec pavilions from the Montreal Expo of 1967. Opened 24 hours with ample parking (indoor and outdoor with shuttle), and think it's the biggest in Canada. Just walking out its main entrance, you can enjoy yourself a nice little walk to get a break from gambling, and come back in (You may discover some other countries' pavilions that are left behind from the Expo). It's nestled on Montreal's Ile-Notre-Dame that is shared with the amusement park La Ronde, a manmade beach, Biosphere, the Grand Prix race track..and so much more to discover on this island!).
The casino is easily accessible by many means - Bixi dock close to main entrance, Jean Drapeau metro station with a shuttle bus, Jacques Cartier bridge, or just 2 minutes drive from downtown, and even a voyageur bus for tourists from the Tourist Centre downtown.
Don't think there's a designated smoking area anymore - maybe have to leave off-site to smoke?
My opinion is that the parking is safe, no need to worry.
There are self-serving drinks areas on each floor - water, ice, pop, and coffee.
Bars with barmaids with seating area are available options as well. They're typically either situated near an elevator, or in the centre of the casino on each floor.
I personally love the newer Titanic machine (there's currently only 4 machines on the lower floor, near the entrance/dance floor), and the Sic bo tables (there are only 2), and of course Royal Ascot for video horse racing (it's a different machine now if you haven't been here in years, like me).
And finally, in the Quebec pavilion section, they have poker tables, and a section that seems like live interaction with players around the world with poker, black jack, and other games that has ceiling to floor video of the players around the world, and a really loud announcer/DJ?
And best of all, this casino has no entrance fee like some parts of the world that deters their locals from gambling. Come check out the Big Bang Theory, Walking Dead, Britney Spears...etc. machines. No Las Vegas, but, still pretty darn good! For a loonie, (only specifically takes 1 loonie) there is a dispensing machine that sells you a pack of cards marked with Casino de Montreal that you can get as a souvenir (defaced and 2 diagonal corners cut-off). This machine so far was only seen at the entrance on the lower floor to underground parking.
(They offer services too if a loved one is in distraught with financial issues due to gambling - think they would refer you to counselling services).
