Playground Poker Club, Poker club in Kahnawake, Canada

Playground Poker Club is a casino located on the territory of the Kahnawake Mohawk Nation, just south of Montreal in Quebec. The facility brings together poker tables, slot machines, and several dining options all in one building.

The club opened in 2010 and quickly became a venue for major international poker tournaments. Over time it grew into one of the most recognized poker destinations in Canada.

Playground sits on sovereign Mohawk territory in Kahnawà:ke and operates under a licence from the Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission, an authority recognised in both online and land-based gaming. Its name is used for the whole complex, which now covers poker, electronic table games and restaurants rather than a single card room. The live entertainment space holds DJ sets and musical acts, usually standing-room only but convertible to cabaret seating for up to 80 guests.

Playground sits on the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawà:ke, just south of Montreal and close to the U.S. border, so drivers from the city cross the bridge over the St. Lawrence. The complex spreads gaming over two floors, with designated smoking rooms holding electronic gaming devices on each level. Large tournaments fill the 44 permanent poker tables and open a 26-table auxiliary room.

The club awards bad beat jackpots to players who lose with a very strong hand, which can occasionally reach several million dollars. This means that even a losing hand at the table can turn into a major payout.
