Gaming Floor and What to Expect
Great Blue Heron Casino Canada is set on Scugog Island near Port Perry, Ontario, roughly an hour northeast of Toronto when traffic cooperates. The property never closes - the doors stay open 24/7 - so there is no preferred arrival window or “right” time to show up. Slots, table games, a dedicated poker room, and a sportsbook area are all housed in the same complex. There is no cover charge and no entry fee at the door.
The minimum age is 19, and that rule applies to everyone entering the gaming floor, not only people who intend to gamble. Guests under 19 are welcome at the hotel but they are not allowed into any casino gaming areas. Smoking is limited to designated outdoor zones only.

Slots, Tables, and the Poker Room
On the gaming floor, you will find a mix of slot machines in several denominations, along with standard live table games. The layout separates these areas, so slots occupy the main electronic gaming section while table games sit together in another portion of the floor.
The poker room is set up as its own space. It has a dedicated entrance off the casino floor and operates independently from the main table game pit. That small detail matters if you are coming specifically for poker, since you can head straight there instead of walking the entire floor.
Sports betting is handled inside the main property rather than in a standalone building. The sportsbook area is integrated into the casino, running in-person wagering during its posted betting windows. For details that change often - such as current table limits, the exact mix of games, or poker scheduling - the most accurate source is direct contact:
- Call 905-985-4888 or email [email protected] for live information on games and limits.
- Ask about that day’s table schedule or poker room availability.
- Confirm any temporary changes that might not show on third-party listings.
One practical note that applies here as much as anywhere else: longer sessions are easier if you eat before you sit down. Casino layouts are built so time feels softer at the edges; it is simple to lose track of how long you have been playing.
A typical visit usually unfolds in a few clear steps once you reach the main entrance:
- Show valid government-issued ID that confirms you are at least 19 years old.
- Walk straight onto the gaming floor, as there is no separate ticketing checkpoint.
- Choose from the slot machines in the central electronic gaming area if you prefer that style of play.
- Move to the live dealer tables section for traditional table games.
- Follow the floor signage to find the poker room’s separate entrance when you are ready for cards.
- Make your way to the sportsbook area to place in-person sports wagers during active betting hours.
- Stop by the loyalty desk early on to pick up a players card so your play is tracked from the start.
- Later, use collected loyalty points at the rewards counter or apply qualified discounts toward hotel stays.
Players Card and Loyalty
Our loyalty program runs through a standard players card. Once you are enrolled, you earn rewards based on activity on both slots and table games across the property. The same card can also unlock room discounts at the hotel when offers are available.
Registration is handled on-site at the loyalty desk. Official sources do not confirm any full online sign-up option, so the safest assumption is that enrollment happens in person when you arrive.
If you know you will spend more than a quick hour or two with us, it usually makes sense to sign up before you start playing rather than halfway through your visit. Points do not apply retroactively to gaming done before enrollment, so delaying the card means leaving some rewards behind.
Hotel Booking
Our on-site hotel opened in 2021, turning Great Blue Heron Casino into more of a resort-style stop instead of just a standalone gaming hall. The hotel features about 100 rooms, and you can book them directly through gbhcasino.com or through known third-party travel platforms such as Expedia or Kayak. Standard check-in is at 4:00 PM, with check-out set for 11:00 AM. Wi-Fi is included throughout the hotel.

Guests younger than 19 can stay at the hotel with family or other adults, but the casino access rule does not change for them. Being a hotel guest does not grant entry to the gaming floor for anyone under 19.
To make or adjust a reservation, you can:
- Call 1-888-224-2928 for direct booking with our hotel team.
- Reserve online through gbhcasino.com or preferred travel sites.
- Show your players card or ask at the loyalty desk about current offers before you finalize your room, since eligible discounts may lower the nightly rate.
