Canada Backyard Gambling Events

Tweet

Now that the Summer has arrived, Canadians are starting to move out of their slumber and back outdoors where the sun is shining more and spirits are high. Taking part in activities such as gambling indoors on a PC is no longer that appealing but yet the fascination for casino playing remains. What we see now are new trends from locals who are taking their indoor entertainment with them outdoors, which for many extend as far as camping hiking or fishing, while for some it only goes as far as the backyard.

 

Here in Canada, backyard activities in the summer are popular and locals are combining it with their liking for casinos. Often, players are hosting BBQ Blackjack Saturdays where friends and family come together and hold a BBQ/picnic and then combine it with some friendly card betting such as Blackjack. People set up mini casinos outdoors and there are designated friends to pretend as live dealers. Some people even bring their casino visors and cigars and combine them with cigars and alcohol while taking in the great weather. Sometimes wagers are made in these events but usually they are only for fun.

 

There are also bingo activities that communities set up with mini tents in their backyards, inviting both friends and family alike to come and join. Small prizes are handed out for winners and locals kick back with an easy game while eating hot dogs and munching on chips. This kind of entertainment allows people to come together in a friendly-fashioned manner and enjoy the day while possibly even making a buck or two.

 

Poker, however, still remains one of the most popular outdoor casino games to take part in but many Canucks believe it also spoils the atmosphere as most people who play this are usually concerned with a poker face or take the game too seriously. The dynamics in poker are a little more stringent compared to other games so despite the game’s popularity we nevertheless suggest sticking to other casino games.

 

The games are not limited to traditional casino games, however. Since hanging out in a backyard is full of different activities there are a number of alternative gambling options you can consider. For the adults, there are always drinking games such as beer ping pong and seeing who can drink the most shots or beers. There are also a number of foods that usually accompany backyard summer activities such as hamburgers and chips, which make for good food gambling competitions in terms of who can eat the most. There are also types of games such as croquet and Frisbee that adults can find creative ways to gamble on.

 

Kids are also usually accompanying their parents on these weekend events and need something to do. While card gambling may not be their first choice, parents can encourage their kids to play board games like chutes and ladders or depending on the age something like scattegories. Playing against another will help relieve them of that competitive, gambling spirit they want to get out on the weekends.

 

Good BBQ Gambling Food

 

A gambling experience cannot be complete if the backyard event is not equipped with the right food and drink. Just like a casino that needs the right sounds, lighting and atmosphere, an outdoor gambling party needs the right goodies to set the atmosphere. Canucks often have the following food for their outdoor casino events:

 

• Spiked or not, this is easy and quick to make.
• Always need something to munch on between poker hands
• Filling the stomach with protein is one of the best ways for ensuring a good and concentrated gambling experience.
• Need to digest the above-mentioned food in order to last longer.
• Desserts such as brownies and cookies to top things off with a sweet ending.

 

Also needed is the right music and decorations to bring about the festive and exciting gambling atmosphere, which will no doubt entertain guests and make them feel like they have gone to a weekend resort for a weekend where they get to gamble and relax. The backyard in Canada is now the new land-based casino setting for many and if you want to get in on the fun, try it out for yourself by using the mentioned tips in addition to whatever your creativity can conjure.
