Ottawa
Ottawa (1,017,449, 2021 Census) is Canada's capital and sits inside Ontario's licensed-only regime; it has no verified land-based casino inside its own city boundary — the nearest, Casino du Lac-Leamy, is honestly disclosed as being across the river in Gatineau, Quebec, not counted as an Ottawa venue.

Betting culture & context
Ottawa has no large-format casino inside the city boundary. The nearest full casino, Casino du Lac-Leamy, sits across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Quebec — under 10 minutes from downtown Ottawa by car and connected by the Rapibus transit corridor, but a different province, a different regulator (Loto-Québec/Société des casinos du Québec, not Ontario's AGCO), and, honestly, not an Ottawa venue — so it is not listed on this page as one.
Ottawa sits inside Ontario's licensed-only iGaming regime (see /legal/ontario/), so this page carries no offshore listings regardless. The Senators (NHL) play at Canadian Tire Centre and the Redblacks (CFL) at TD Place Stadium — both venues are inside Ottawa proper, unlike the casino.
