Live Dealer Tables on the Floor

The main gaming floor carries 22 live dealer tables set across roughly 50,000 square feet. These are traditional tables with real cards, chips, and dealers - not a live stream or digital hybrid. You sit down, swap cash for chips, and place your bets against an actual person on the other side of the felt. If you are used to semi-automated setups, that clear separation between live and digital play feels quite different in practice.

The mix of tables sticks to what most players actually come in for:

  1. Blackjack - several tables, standard Ontario rules
  2. Roulette - physical wheel with the usual betting layouts
  3. Baccarat - tables across multiple stake levels
  4. Ultimate Texas Hold’em - casino poker with community cards
  5. Mississippi Stud - five-card variant played against a fixed pay table

Table games usually run daily from around noon until about 4:00 a.m. That gives you a long window on regular days. On weekends it stretches further - from Friday through Sunday the property operates 24 hours, which matters if you are planning late-night sessions or driving in from outside Peterborough.

Planning Your Visit

Before you head over, taking two minutes to call +1-833-678-0880 is genuinely worth it. Hours can move around holidays, special events, or weather, and arriving to find a shorter schedule than you expected is not a great start to any visit. The casino address is 1400 Crawford Drive, Peterborough, Ontario K9J 6X6, near the Parkway exit off Highway 115 at the southern edge of the city. Parking is available on site, and under normal conditions you do not need any reservation to sit at the live tables.

Bring valid government-issued photo ID with you. The legal minimum age in Ontario is 19, and the entrance check is applied consistently at the door. After you are inside, the live table games area is clearly signed within the main floor, so you can walk straight there without much wandering around.

One practical detail that applies here as much as anywhere else: look at the posted bet limits on the table signage before you take a seat. Minimum bets change by game type and time of day, and it is simpler to choose a table that matches your bankroll upfront than to realize halfway through you are playing at a higher minimum than you intended.

All gaming runs in Canadian dollars. You can exchange your cash directly at the table with the dealer, or at the main cage in the building. Either option works the same for play.

Slots and Racebook

On top of the 22 live tables, the floor includes approximately 500 slot machines. You will see video slots, more traditional reel machines, and progressive jackpots in the mix. Denominations vary enough that most players find something that fits their style without much hunting. Slot play follows the same extended operating pattern as the property overall, with 24-hour access from Friday to Sunday.

The racebook sits in its own section of the building, set up for off-track betting on horse races from tracks across North America. It follows a schedule tied to race cards and broadcast times, not just casino hours, so if you are specifically aiming for racing bets, checking timing ahead helps avoid dead time. The overall layout lets you move between slots, live tables, and the racebook in a single visit without going outside or changing buildings, which makes mixed sessions quite simple.

What to Know Before Arriving

What to Know Before Arriving

The casino sits at 1400 Crawford Drive near the Parkway exit off Highway 115, covering around 50,000 square feet of gaming and dining space.

A few practical details worth keeping in mind before your visit:

  • Table games run daily from approximately noon until 4:00 a.m., giving a solid window for live play on any day of the week
  • The property operates 24 hours on weekends, which suits late arrivals or those driving in from outside the Peterborough area
  • On-site dining includes the Windward Restaurant and Lounge alongside The Buffet, a 230-seat option with themed daily menus

For current hours around holidays or special events, calling +1-833-678-0880 ahead of your visit saves any uncertainty on arrival. The casino is regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and entry requires guests to be 19 or older, in line with standard Ontario casino rules.

Dining Inside the Property

There are two food outlets operating inside the casino. The Windward Restaurant and Lounge covers sit-down meals with a full menu plus bar service, and it works well if you want to eat properly but still get back to the tables without a long break. The Buffet seats roughly 230 guests and runs themed buffets each day, with the theme changing by day of the week. Some of those themes draw noticeably bigger crowds, so checking what is on that day when you arrive can help you decide when to sit down.

Both dining spots are located within the main building. You do not need to leave the gaming floor area or go outside to grab food, so the flow of your visit stays mostly uninterrupted. Alcohol service follows Ontario provincial rules, including last-call timing and valid ID checks.

There is also a live entertainment area inside the property, used for concerts and ticketed events that run on their own schedule separate from gaming hours. Current event listings are posted at greatcanadian.com.

About the Property

The Peterborough casino opened its doors in October 2018 following a development project of roughly C$49 million. It was designed from the start as a full-service regional casino at the southern entrance to the city, serving local guests as well as visitors from the Kawartha Lakes area and eastern Ontario. In terms of gaming floor size and the number of on-site amenities, it stands as the largest venue within the Shorelines group.

The Shorelines brand itself covers several Ontario locations under the Great Canadian Entertainment umbrella, including Shorelines Casino Belleville, Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands, and Shorelines Slots at Kawartha Downs. Each operates as its own property with its own layout and schedule. The Peterborough casino runs independently as a separate venue with its own floor configuration and operating hours.

Great Canadian Entertainment, previously known as Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, oversees operations and regulatory compliance for all of these properties.
