Casino bosses have long understood that a casino needs to offer more than table games and slot machines if they want to stand out from the crowd. Food, glorious food is perhaps not the first thing that springs to mind when you’re planning a night out at a casino, but it should be. Competition is fierce – so much so that we’ve seen casinos reinvent themselves into hotels and resorts, we’ve seen casinos build concert halls in order to host huge stage shows by famous artists and we’ve seen casinos with stunning interiors and walls covered in famous works of art.

However, back to food; the biggest change we’ve seen over the years is in the quality of the food on offer to guests. For many casinos, the casino restaurant has, in fact, become the jewel in the crown. We’re about to whet your appetite with the top 10 casino restaurants in the world – in no particular order – so be prepared for your taste buds to go into overdrive.

Online Casinos – Pay With Chips or Real Money?

An online casino Canada requires real money, just like the term indicates. When you are eating at a restaurant that is located at a land based casino, it can be tricky to figure out if you can pay your dinner with the chips you won from the casino or does the restaurant accept cash and credit cards only. However when it comes to casino sites, case is simple – operator always accepts real money that can be deposited via mobile app or bank transfer.

The payment options depend on each restaurant and each casino. The best way to find out whether you can pay your food with chips, credit cards or cash is simply by asking. And remember to tip the staff; they at least could most likely accept chips as well!
