It is run by the provincial government who is intent on taxing Canadians as much as possible and they do not allow any competition. As a result they do not offer many comp\u2019s and if they do the comp\u2019s are not very lucrative compared to other locations.<\/p>\n<h2>Lower Competition Leads to Low Promotions at Rideau Carleton Casino<\/h2>\n<p>It is the only casino in the city and as a result it is very crowded, but the comp\u2019s are very limited, the cash back and free play are minimal compared to the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino for example in upper state New York. The other major factor that we noticed as well is that the people working at the Rideau Carleton Casino are decidedly not friendly compared to other casinos that we have been to. Even the servers are not friendly even when you tip them and the slot attendants who pay the jackpots have their hands out for tips. This is after making you wait for 10 or 15 minutes for them to acknowledge that you won a jack pot.\u00a0 This is not one of our favorite places to go based on service and level of promotions and casino comp&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>We added a check list of casino comps and \/ or promotions to this post and others that we will be doing, which you can see below. Not all comps and promotions will be of interest to you. If there are some that you do not understand leave us a comment and we will add a post to let you know what they are. If we missed a comp or if there is a new promotion we are not aware of let us know and we will add it.<\/p>\n<p>We will complete and add comments about the other two casinos that we included on this chart shortly.
