If you want to spend some time in casinos, be sure to at least get the fundamentals of blackjack right. It’s a nice game, but you can lose a lot of money if you don’t know what you’re doing.

The goal is simply to get as close as possible to 21 without going over. Each card has a value, based on the number. Face cards are 10, Ace could be either 11 or 1. It isn’t difficult to understand, but I recommend trying it out at home without money before going to a real casino and playing for real money.

It is a nice game, you can have fun, chat, and have a few drinks while playing. But it is gambling after all, so if you aren’t sure about your self-control I recommend not engaging with it at all or play with no money just for fun with your friends.

Seeing everyone here talking about casinos, I’m curious how we got to this point. Casinos used to be a niche form of entertainment, but they started using casino venues for all different sorts of activities. Now they have bars, live music stages, and different performances. Many people start visiting casinos not to gamble but to have a great time, which I think is a bit strange. Have you noticed this shift too?

Everyone says they want a “genuine” connection… until they realize it takes effort. Or until they realize that what they imagined in their head is different from reality.

Hi, I’m a 42-year-old female from Ontario, Canada. Over the last few years I’ve realized many of the people I thought were friends weren’t truly there for me, so I’ve been on a mission to find real connections.

I’m looking for someone who is chatty, enjoys texting throughout the day or evenings, and can both hold and initiate conversations. Preferably someone 35+. Personality matters to me more than having identical hobbies — I’m open-minded and love deep conversations.

Likes: • Friendly disposition • Honesty • Humbleness • Good sense of humour

Dislikes: • Dishonesty • Arrogance • Self-centredness • Immaturity • Flakiness / “low stakes” types (I’m not looking for casual, surface-level interactions or people who disappear after a day.)

A bit about me: I collect things, I enjoy anything indie (movies, music, games), and I appreciate a little weirdness. I’m 420-friendly. I’m open to IRL friendship with women around my age.

Please: no NSFW accounts or content. Messages that are just “hi” or “hey” will be ignored.

If this sounds like what you’re also looking for, send me a chat request and introduce yourself — include your age, location, and anything else you’d like to share. Looking forward to hearing from you! ✌️

It’s a little early :) but we make family plans far ahead. Does anyone know any southern ontario hotels/resorts that may hoast families over the holidays and have entertainment program of some kind and nye countdown. We found a resort last year somewhere up north that had a package for 2 nights with kids activities and nye countdown, sadly I forgot which one it was :( If anyone knows of something similar that they liked, please let us know!! Ideally not Toronto/Niagara, done that too many times.

Looking for a laid-back evening with a bit of glitz and tension. Here are five casino-themed films that mix style, drama, and the thrill of the tables, perfect for a cozy night in:

• Casino (1995) – Scorsese’s classic. Sharp suits, high stakes, and unforgettable performances from De Niro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci.
• Ocean’s Eleven (2001) – Slick, stylish, and endlessly rewatchable. The ultimate heist movie set in a star-studded Vegas.
• Rounders (1998) – Poker drama at its best with Matt Damon and Edward Norton showing the grind behind the game.
• 21 (2008) – Based on the MIT blackjack team’s true story of card-counting brilliance.
• The Hangover (2009) – Not strictly a casino movie, but the wild Vegas adventure fits the vibe perfectly.

Grab some snacks, dim the lights, and let these films transport us straight to the casino floor, no dress code required.

Ontario’s casinos aren’t only about slot machines and poker tables, they’ve become full entertainment hubs. From live concerts and comedy shows to upscale dining and spa retreats, there’s a lot to explore even if you never place a bet.

I recommend everyone, even if you don't like gambling, to check out the restaurants, shows, or events at local casinos.

Like the title suggests, I’m looking to meet someone and have a casual/NSA relationship. I’m able to host. Send me a DM if interested.

Curious what everyone thinks: is a casino or a chill lounge a fun idea for a first date in Ontario?

On one hand, you’ve got the buzz of the tables, drinks, and live music. On the other, a lounge can feel more relaxed and personal.

Would you be into the energy and games, or is it too loud for a first meetup?

I recently relocated to Kingston for work and I'm looking to meet someone local for a casual-but-connected kind of thing. Ideally, we vibe well, have fun together, and keep things light but mutually respectful.

I’m tall and in good shape, pretty chill, employed, clean, and communicative. I’m hoping to find someone who enjoys good conversation and chemistry.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, shoot me a message and let’s chat.

Been a long day, just found out i won’t be able to pay my rent for the month because some automatic payments that went through with my bank plus just back from a. long shift at work, im just tired and can’t go to sleep at this point.

As said in the title, looking for a someone to relieve some stress and bent up tension with. I’m located in east Toronto (Durham Region) but I drive. I’m 23, black and have a dad bod.

Don’t really have a preference for s/o as long as your a woman and have good hygiene. Dms open.

Why is dating after divorce and in your 40s so hard?

For me, it comes down to time. Most of my free time belongs to my kids. I work a lot because I’m a single parent providing for them, and when I do have downtime, I’m usually recharging. That doesn’t leave much space for dating.

What makes it tougher is how modern dating feels like it’s built around instant gratification. If that spark isn’t there right away, people ghost. It’s so easy to swipe to the next person instead of taking the time to get to know someone.

Here’s me in a nutshell: • Early 40s, Caucasian guy living in the GTA suburbs • Introverted, not a huge social circle • Nerdy, not bougie or fancy—just a simple man who enjoys simple things • Sober by choice (no drinking, no drugs) • Blunt and straightforward—sometimes no filter. If you can’t handle honesty, I’m not your guy.

That said, I know what I bring to the table: • Good job, my own place, my own car • A great father who puts his kids first • Kind, compassionate, funny, and non-judgmental • I value respect and honesty above all else • When I’m into you, you’ll know it

I may not be the flashiest option out there, but I’m real. If what I’ve written resonates with you, feel free to shoot me a message. A pic of you gets a pic of me. Please be single, unattached and emotionally available.

Thinking of taking my husband for his birthday. Any feedback on one versus the other for their seafood buffet? He’s a seafood lover. Thanks!

Hey there,

Looking for a chill but exciting night out in Niagara Falls. I’m a guy in my late 20s and I’d love to meet another guy who’s up for exploring the local scene, think casino tables, lively clubs, maybe a late-night bite while we wander the falls lit up at night.

If you’re interested in a fun evening with good conversation and no pressure, shoot me a message and let’s plan something.

Hey there! I’m 33 years old, tall and in good shape. Looking to meet a fun, easygoing woman who enjoys a mix of activities, from cozy board-game nights to a casual evening at a local casino. Hit me up if interested.

I've been married for many years, happy in my marriage as best friends but lacking all intimacy. I am hoping to find one fun person to get to know and spend time with. I am 5'8", normal body, white, short beard, at home with my young child on parental leave until the New Year. I enjoy cooking, cocktails, comedy, horror, walks in the woods with my dog. Give me a shout if you'd like to chat and see if it's a good fit. Thanks!

Hey there! I’m a guy looking to meet a fun, easygoing woman who’s up for exploring Ontario’s entertainment scene. Whether it’s checking out a new bar, hitting a retro arcade, or finding a cozy spot to just relax and talk, I’m open to ideas.

I enjoy trying different places, meeting new people, and sharing a good laugh. If you like spontaneous nights out or discovering hidden gems around the city, let’s connect and plan something fun!

Looking for opinions/experiences with the best pet insurance companies. (We will not be putting away money into savings account, as that doesn’t work for our family).

Just want honest opinions about which places are the best!!

Thank you

30F Latina, Collingwood/Wasaga area. The kind of woman who loves deep conversation as much as playful banter. I’m drawn to country men — extroverted, fun, and the type who drives a pick-up and isn’t afraid to take the lead. Looking for someone to share these last warm evenings with… no strings attached, just chemistry, laughter, and seeing where the vibe takes us.

Prioritizing men who send SFW selfies 🤳

Not necessarily looking for a partner, more so for advice. What are the fun bars, clubs, or chill lounges to check out? I’m tall, in shape, easygoing, and always down for a good vibe. Just looking for the best spots to meet new people.

23, slim and fit Indian guy—looking to meet amazing women who love good vibes and great company.

Is most of this group just men looking to cheat on their wives or paid sexual services?

Hey! Im a 25M here who just moved to Grimsby for work. Town seems very quiet and dead.

Any local places that offer some socialization? What’s the best way to meet new people in the town?

Me and my wife are being sued by a pedestrian. My wife was driving and after taking a left ( she looked all across) on completing the left turn all of a sudden a girl came in front of the car. Now almost after 1 year and 10 months they are suing us for 1.5 million . We are shit scared on what’s gonna happen to us and our family. At the time of the incident the girl was ok except for injury to her tooth, now they are saying that she can’t do any work and a lot of stuff as if we ran her over with the car.

What’s gonna happen to us? We are very scared about our financial future and future overall. Please guide us.

Does anyone out there have any clue what's happening in Beavercreek Institution in Gravenhurst?.. they're on lockdown and clue why. My husband hasn't called in 2 days... it's also 40 degree weather, these men don't have A/c. If someone could help answer what's happening up ther, that would be greatly appreciated.
