Gaming Floor Overview
Shorelines Casino Peterborough sits at 3800 Fisher Drive in Peterborough, Ontario, and operates under the Great Canadian Entertainment brand. The gaming area covers around 50,000 square feet with roughly 500 slot machines and about 22 live dealer tables, so the floor feels like a full-service property for this part of eastern Ontario.
Table games follow a familiar lineup: blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Spanish 21, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, and 3-card poker. Live dealer tables typically run from noon until 4:00 a.m. every day, which is a longer stretch than what you see at plenty of regional venues. Slot play usually goes on longer - close to round-the-clock on weekends according to most recent reports.
A separate racebook operates on-site as its own area away from the main gaming floor. It accepts wagers on live and simulcast horse racing, with race cards and live video feeds displayed on screens throughout the section. If you follow horses, it matters that the racebook is not tied to the table game schedule - you can wager even when casino tables are closed.

Planning A Visit
Reaching the property is fairly simple. The address is 3800 Fisher Drive, Peterborough, ON, K9J 6X6, with free on-site parking. No parking charge removes one of those small but annoying barriers for first-time guests. Entry to the gaming floor in Ontario is restricted to guests 19 years of age and older, so bring government-issued photo identification with you.
Before heading out, it helps to call 1-833-678-0880 and check current operating hours. Holiday periods, special events, or private functions can shift opening and closing times, and the online listings do not always update for short-notice changes. The Shorelines section on the Great Canadian Entertainment site at greatcanadian.com is also where upcoming live entertainment and dining details are posted.
It is worth deciding ahead of time which area you actually want to spend time in. The slot floor, table games, and racebook all have their own layout inside the property. Wandering back and forth without even a loose plan tends to chew up time and can be a bit disorienting if the floor is busy. Not critical, but thinking about it for a minute before you walk in usually makes the visit smoother.
Friday and Saturday evenings are when the casino runs at its busiest. For weekend nights, give yourself some extra room in the schedule, both for parking and for getting settled once you are inside.
If you have questions about the Players Rewards program, or anything related to your player account, it is easier to reach out before you arrive. You can call the venue or email [email protected] so that any account issues are handled before you get to the desk.
Table Games And Slots In More Detail
Blackjack is spread across several tables using standard Ontario-style rules. Baccarat and Spanish 21 tend to draw players looking for a slightly different pace of play or chasing a lower house edge. Ultimate Texas Hold’em and 3-card poker sit together in the poker-style section, and those tables usually see steady action in the evenings, often filling most seats.
The slot floor covers a variety of themes and denominations. Machines are generally grouped by style and game type, so you move from cluster to cluster rather than walking across the entire room to find something similar. Video poker terminals are blended into the slot zones instead of being carved off into a separate room, which some players like and others might find a bit less direct.
| Game Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Card games | Blackjack, Baccarat, Spanish 21 |
| Poker variants | Ultimate Texas Hold’em, 3-Card Poker |
| Wheel games | Roulette |
| Electronic gaming | Approx. 500 slot machines |
| Race wagering | Racebook with simulcast feeds |
The racebook, again, runs on its own schedule independent of the table game pit. You do not have to wait for live dealers to be on duty to place horse racing bets, and regular racing patrons tend to treat it almost like a separate room inside the same building.
Dining And Entertainment
The main sit-down dining choice on the property is the Windward Restaurant and Lounge. The menu sits in the casual to mid-range bracket, with a lounge area tied into the bar for guests who prefer a less formal setup. On busy nights, especially Fridays and Saturdays, making a reservation is a practical move. The buffet restaurant operates on its own timetable and works for guests who want something quicker without leaving the casino complex.
Bar service extends across the gaming floor during gaming hours. Floor staff walk the main sections and handle drink orders directly, so you can usually stay near your machine or table instead of heading to a distant bar station. For a property of this size that is standard practice, but it is still useful to know if you are mapping out how your night will go.
Live entertainment runs on a rotating schedule in the designated entertainment area. Performances range from local acts to touring artists and themed nights. Seating and access for the entertainment space can be different from the main dining room, and there may be a separate entry point, so a quick look at the signs when you arrive helps avoid confusion.
To check buffet hours or arrange a dinner booking, you can keep it simple:
- Call 1-833-678-0880 or visit greatcanadian.com before you come by.
- Ask for a Windward Restaurant reservation if you plan to visit on a Friday or Saturday night.
- For live events, confirm if the entertainment area has its own entrance or seating rules.
- On the floor, order drinks directly through roaming floor staff rather than waiting at the bar.
