Eastern Ontario casinos and their cards
Eastern Ontario has 5 casinos in this guide, in Peterborough, Fraserville, Belleville, Gananoque and Ottawa. Great Canadian Rewards covers 4 of them, and Unity by Hard Rock covers Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa.
Which card works where
Four casinos in this region take Great Canadian Rewards, the card of the Great Canadian Entertainment casinos in this guide. In Peterborough and Fraserville, it works at Shorelines Casino Peterborough and Shorelines Slots at Kawartha Downs. It also covers Shorelines Casino Belleville and Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands in Gananoque. The operator counts 12 Great Canadian Rewards destinations in Ontario.
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa, on Albion Road, uses Unity by Hard Rock. A guest joins by creating an account, or signs in to an existing one. The programme works at Hard Rock locations worldwide.
In this guide, no card works at casinos of two different operators. A Great Canadian Rewards card does not cover the Ottawa casino, and Unity by Hard Rock does not cover the four Shorelines venues.
