Casino Montreal might be closed for business to help stop the spread of COVID-19, but they continue to spread good cheer. The large casino, located near downtown Montreal, has opened its professional kitchens to prepare meals for those in need.

With more Canadians heading to food banks due to a nationwide economic shutdown, the initiative comes just in time. In support of the Les Cuisines Solidaires Project, chefs will produce no fewer than 35,000 meals within a single week.

Casino Montreal is familiar to poker players of all stripes, including young Americans looking to play legal live poker. In Quebec, the gambling and drinking age is 18 (vs. 21 in the US), making the destination extremely attractive.

Casino Montreal features a 24/7 poker room with 24 No-Limit tables, making it an ideal place for poker players who find themselves close to the downtown core.
