The gaming industry in Canada is huge. So huge that it contributes as much as $5.5 billion to the country’s GDP. As of 2019, there were 692 game development studios in Canada, but right now, the number has gone up to about 937 studios, a whopping 35% increase in three years, making Canada the third-largest game developing nation in the world.

Canada has also done excellently well in the world of Esports. After Team Canada finished second in the 2017 Overwatch World Cup, Esports has been on a steadily astronomical growth in the country, with players like Artour Babaev, Kurtis Ling and Williams Aubin making millions of dollars from playing video games. Even in the casino scene, many Canadians have found a fun haven playing Live Baccarat and other exciting casino games.
