Shorelines Thousand Islands and its card

Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands takes Great Canadian Rewards, the card of the Great Canadian Entertainment casinos in this guide. The same card works at 12 of the 30 casinos covered here. Five of them are in Toronto & GTA and three in Hamilton, Niagara & Brant. The other four, this one included, are in Eastern Ontario.

Joining is open to anyone 19 or older who is not banned from a Great Canadian Rewards destination or self-excluded. At the Guest Services desk here, a valid government-issued photo ID is enough to complete the application. The online route through greatcanadian.com needs the same kind of ID plus a mobile phone with a camera, for a photo of the face.

Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands is a casino in Gananoque run by Great Canadian Entertainment. There are 450 slot machines on the floor, along with 14 live table games. Games at those tables include Blackjack, Spanish 21, EZ Squeeze Baccarat, Roulette, 3 Card Poker, High Card Flush and Mississippi Stud. Windward Restaurant, which has a fully licensed bar, offers modern casual dishes for anyone wanting a meal.

General casino hours are not published. Live table games run Monday and Tuesday from 4 PM to midnight, and Wednesday and Thursday from 4 PM to 2 AM. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday the tables open at noon and close at 2 AM. To confirm holiday hours, a visitor can look at the casino's own website.

Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands sits at 380 Highway 2 in Gananoque, Ontario, with complimentary parking. In Ontario the legal age for casinos is 19, and every guest has to be an adult of at least that age. The operator follows a "We ID under 30" rule, so staff ask for ID from any guest who seems younger than 30.

Staff will want to see original government-issued photo ID and can ask for a secondary ID on top of it. That same photo ID also covers a Great Canadian Rewards application at Guest Services. The casino can be reached at 613-382-6800.
