Beyond the Lower Mainland, British Columbia spreads its casinos across harbour towns and highland valleys — from the ferry ports of the Island to the lakes and rivers of the Interior. It's a slower, more scenic circuit, made for pairing the tables with the road.
This guide covers the Island and Interior venues, with a plain look at the gaming, the hotels nearby, the dining and the feel of each.
