Medicine Hat at a glance

Medicine Hat College serves south-east Alberta from its main campus in the city. Medicine Hat's name is a translation of the Blackfoot word saamis, referring to the headdress of a medicine man. Medicine Hat is often listed among the sunniest cities in Canada, with hot, dry summers on the open prairie. In 1907 Rudyard Kipling described Medicine Hat as having all hell for a basement because of its natural gas, which earned it the nickname Gas City. Medicine Hat owns its own natural gas and electricity utilities, an unusual arrangement among Canadian cities.

The legal framework, in short

PlayAlberta.ca, run by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC), is the online casino authorised by the province of Alberta. Private sites reachable from Medicine Hat usually hold offshore licences (Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, Curaçao) and are not supervised by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC). Using an offshore site is not an offence for the player; the trade-off is weaker protection and slower dispute resolution. As in land-based venues, 18 is the minimum age in Alberta, checked against government ID.

Self-exclusion programs run by AGLC cover the provincial site and land-based venues.
