Blackjack Tables on the Floor
Playground Poker Club & Casino is located at 1500 Route 138 in Kahnawà:ke, Quebec, roughly a 15 to 20 minute drive south of Montreal via the Mercier Bridge. The casino runs around the clock, every day of the year, with no regular shutdowns. Blackjack is part of the permanent live table mix alongside roulette and baccarat, and that stays true moving into 2026.
The gaming floor covers about 30,000 square feet. Over 600 electronic gaming machines share that space with the live tables, although the layout keeps them separated: live dealer games sit on one side, slots and electronic tables on the other. There is no door fee and no need to sign up for membership to get in. Guests who appear under 30 should expect to be asked for government-issued ID at the entrance. All wagers, chips, and payouts run in Canadian dollars.

Getting to the Table
For anyone coming from Montreal, the route is pretty direct. Cross the Mercier Bridge, stay on Route 138, and you arrive on the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawà:ke. The casino operates there under licenses issued by the Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission. Playground holds a poker room license and a separate electronic gaming device license, which puts the property in a relatively unique spot within the greater Montreal market.
Once inside the building, getting into a blackjack game follows a familiar pattern:
- Show valid photo ID at the door if security asks for it.
- Go to the cage and exchange your cash for CAD chips.
- Walk over to the main floor area where the table games are grouped.
- Take an open chair at a blackjack table, or wait until the next seat opens.
- Place a wager inside the posted minimum and maximum for that table.
- Follow the specific rules displayed at the table while you play.
- Before leaving the property, bring remaining chips back to the cage and cash out.
Table limits are not fixed across the clock. Minimum and maximum bets can adjust with the time of day, and they often drift when large tournaments are running in the room. Floor staff will have current details; giving the property a quick call ahead of time is usually the cleanest way to lock in a target stake.
On-site payments can be made in cash, using cards, or by bank transfer. The venue does not publish detailed information about withdrawal options beyond standard cash payouts at the cage. If you are planning anything out of the ordinary, it is better to confirm the process directly with cage staff.
Licensing and Regulatory Details
The Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission keeps a public registry of active license holders. In that list, Playground Poker Club is named as the poker room licensee, while Playground is noted separately as the electronic gaming device licensee. The regulator also releases Return to Player data for the electronic gaming devices on the property, which can matter if you decide to split time between machines and tables. Blackjack as a live game follows the rule set that is posted at each individual table, rather than any RTP reporting.
