Royal Panda

An MGM-owned Ontario casino, licensed in the regulated market, with Vegas-floor live tables, an exclusive blackjack table, fair terms and a complete support stack. Royal Panda launched in 2014 from Dutch founders with a crowned-panda mascot and grew into a brand worth tens of millions when it was acquired in 2017; when MGM Resorts bought its then-parent in 2022, the panda came along. That makes it one of the few Ontario casinos owned by a Las Vegas giant that almost nobody associates with one. It holds an iGaming Ontario registration under AGCO oversight (licence OPIG1337313, verified active). Its MGM ownership shows in the live casino: Vegas-floor tables plus an exclusive Royal Panda Blackjack table, often with shorter queues than better-known rooms. The terms rate mostly fair with only the two standard clauses, the support stack is complete (24/7 chat, email and phone), and the curated 1,000-plus game lobby carries Maple Moolah progressives past $1.6M. It runs noticeably quieter than its famous corporate sibling, and it shows: withdrawals are the slowest in our reviews (typically three to five business days), there is no app and no e-wallets, and there is no loyalty program at all on the Ontario product.
