The casino on Fisher Drive
Shorelines Casino Peterborough sits at 3800 Fisher Drive, Peterborough, Ontario K9J 6X6, in the southwest of the city. Great Canadian Entertainment runs it under its Shorelines Casinos brand, as part of OLG's East gaming bundle. OLG conducts and manages casino gaming in Ontario, and private companies run the floors day to day. The doors opened on Monday, October 15, 2018.
Think of it as a deck with two suits. The 50,000 square foot casino holds over 500 slots and e-tables, counted as one figure, plus 12 live table games. One card is missing from the deck: there is no poker room listed. The poker-style games here are played against the dealer.
Live tables and their hours
Seven live games are listed: Blackjack, Mini Squeeze Baccarat, Roulette, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Mississippi Stud, Free Bet Blackjack and Three Card Poker. Which ones run on a given night depends on business volumes. Dealers start at 4 pm Monday to Thursday and close at midnight. On Friday and Saturday the tables open at noon and deal until 2 am. Sunday runs from noon to midnight.
For lower minimums, the low-limit tables offer $5 novelty poker and $15 blackjack. They deal Wednesday and Thursday 4 pm to midnight, Friday and Saturday noon to 2 am, Sunday noon to midnight. Minimums on every table change with the day's business. To ask about limits or reserve a private table, contact the casino at 1-833-678-0880.
Slots and e-tables
The slot cards run from 1 cent machines up to higher-limit machines, and there are high-limit slots and tables. Slots run through all of the casino's opening hours. Those general hours are not published, so a call ahead helps if timing matters. When the live tables are dealing, the casino is open.
Electronic table games come next in the deck. The list covers Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat and Craps. Video poker comes in three versions: 4 of a Kind Poker, Deuces Wild Poker and Jacks or Better Poker. You play each from one seat, at your own pace. A sports betting kiosk is also listed among the amenities.
Food and drink
Two food cards sit in the deck at Fisher Drive. A restaurant and bar, whose name is not published, serves modern casual food and has a fully licensed bar. The Buffet has themed menus, needs no reservation and gives special discounts to Great Canadian Rewards members. Comp Dollars are accepted at both. Hours and prices for either are not published, so ask the casino before you go.
The rewards card
Great Canadian Rewards is the operator's loyalty card in Ontario, available at no charge online or in person at Guest Services. Members must be 19 or older and not self-excluded or trespassed. On a visit, members insert the card into a slot machine. Rewards earned are combined and can be used at all 12 Great Canadian Rewards destinations. That includes Shorelines Casino Peterborough and Shorelines Slots at Kawartha Downs.
Getting there and the door
Parking at the casino is complimentary. Without a car, Peterborough Transit Route 5, The Parkway, runs between the downtown terminal and Fleming College. It stops at "Fisher at Shorelines Casino" Monday to Friday, on Saturdays, and on Sundays and holidays. Timetables are on the City of Peterborough site.
At the door, no one under 19 may enter or stay in an Ontario casino. Great Canadian Entertainment's code of conduct says "We ID under 30", so bring original, physical government-issued photo ID. Staff may ask for a second piece. Smoking or vaping is allowed only in designated areas, and cannabis is not allowed anywhere on the property. Guide dogs, service animals, personal assistive devices and a support person are all welcome, subject to the age limit.
Slots at Kawartha Downs
Shorelines Slots at Kawartha Downs is a slots room at the racetrack, 1382 County Road 28, Fraserville, ON K0L 1V0, phone 705-939-2400. It is 7.7 km in a straight line from Fisher Drive. The room has 150 slots and no table games, live or electronic, and opens daily from 10 am to midnight. Parking is complimentary, and the same rewards card and Comp Dollars work there. The 19+ Player's Lounge & Café on the slots floor is run by Kawartha Downs, not the casino operator.
A limit for the night
Before you leave home, pick two numbers: the amount you are ready to spend and the hours you plan to stay. The budget card tool divides that amount into one card per hour. Spend each card in its own hour, and when the last card is gone, you stop. Money set aside for rent or bills stays out of the deck. Casinos in Ontario are for people 19 and older.
Your night in cards
Divide the money for tonight by the hours you plan to stay: that is one card per hour. When the last card is spent, the night is done.
Online play in Ontario
Ontario's regulated online casino market opened on April 4, 2022. A private online operator is legal here only when it is registered with the AGCO, the regulator, and has an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. The official directory of these sites is at igamingontario.ca. OLG.ca is the Ontario government's own online casino, run by OLG. All of it is 19+ and only while you are physically in Ontario.
The paid links on this guide's home page are marked Ad. They lead to a private online casino partner, which is not OLG.ca and has no connection with OLG, the AGCO or Great Canadian Entertainment. The guide earns a commission from that partner, and the partner can change.
