A visit to Vancouver's Parq Casino for a little bit of gambling turned into an ugly scene for recording star Drake when he was apparently denied service, leading to accusations of racial profiling.
A native of Toronto, Drake was in Vancouver to perform at the Rogers Arena on Nov. 3 & 4. He's in the midst of a tour entitled Aubrey and The Three Migos. Aubrey is Drake's real first name.
After one of the shows, Drake attempted to gamble in the casino but was refused. He responded on Instagram, accusing the Parq of “profiling me and not allowing me to gamble when I had everything they originally asked me for.”

Parq Casino reps were apologetic after the incident, insisting that the problem lies with the strict laws recently passed in British Columbia. Attempting to curb money laundering, B.C requires players who request $10,000 or more in casino chips to provide a bank receipt confirming where the funds are coming from.
'We are operating in one of the most complex, highly regulated industries,' said Parq president Joe Brunini. “We are constantly improving our communications process to ensure that these new regulations are better understood by all guests. We categorically stand against racism of any kind.'

A poster on Reddit who claims to be a Parq employee stated that everyone in the casino knew that it was Drake and his entourage and that the casino bent over backwards to accommodate the rapper, even making a phone call to government regulators in hopes of getting the strict requirements waived.
'If Parq allowed Drake to break this law, they could lose their gambling license,' posted 'O-A-N'. 'Just because you are famous doesn't mean you can walk into a BC casino with a bag of cash and break the law.'
The Reddit forumite added that the Parq and every other casino are interested in only one color: green.
