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. The floor holds 450 slot machines and 14 live table games.

For a meal, Windward Restaurant serves modern casual fare with a fully licensed bar.

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. From Friday to Sunday they run noon to 2 AM. Holiday hours should be checked on the casino's own site.

Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands sits at 380 Highway 2 in Gananoque, Ontario, with complimentary parking. Entry is for adults 19 and older, the legal casino age in Ontario. Under the operator's "We ID under 30" rule, anyone who looks under 30 is asked for ID.
