With the opening in November of the Deerfoot Inn and Casino, Calgary now has the largest concentration of casinos per capita of any metropolitan area of the country. In the coming years, that number will increase to eight with the opening of the Tsuu T’ina Nation Casino and the Nakoda First Nations Casino near Kananaskis. University of Alberta gambling research specialist Garry Smith notes that, if this trend continues, Alberta will become one of the casino capitals of North America.
