How We Rank
How We Rank Hotel Casinos
Every hotel casino in the index is scored out of 10 across five weighted categories. Before any scoring, a resort must pass one requirement: it must be a land-based casino operated or regulated by its provincial gaming authority.
Scoring categories
| Category | Weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Rooms & Comfort | 25% | Room standard, suites, views, upkeep and connection to the casino |
| Gaming Floor | 25% | Slot and table variety, poker, limits and atmosphere |
| Dining | 20% | Restaurant range, quality and price |
| Amenities | 15% | Shows, spa, pool, golf, fitness and events space |
| Value & Access | 15% | Room rates, parking, transit and airport access |
Our sources
We use public information from each resort and its provincial regulator, guest feedback trends and on-site visits where possible. Facility figures such as room and table counts are approximate and can change, so check with the resort before travelling.
Updates
Rankings are reviewed at least twice a year and whenever a resort opens, closes or significantly changes its facilities. Last review: November 2026.
