Live table games number 20 here, with blackjack, roulette and squeeze baccarat among them. The 116-room hotel is 100% smoke-free and has King Accessible rooms and King Suites with roll-in showers. The Nest, a live entertainment and special events venue for nearly 800 people, opened on January 18, 2024. All ages are welcome at Water's Edge Restaurant and Quickbites. The Buffet opens 3:30 PM to 10:00 PM on Friday and Saturday, and 3:30 PM to 9:00 PM on Sunday.

Great Blue Heron stands on Scugog Island, on land that belongs to the island's Mississaugas First Nation. Great Canadian Entertainment runs it.

From Toronto, the trip gets you a smaller casino with a hotel on an island. Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto, at Woodbine, is the casino inside the city, 18.9 km from City Hall. It shows 164 table games and has a 400-room hotel. For holiday hours, at the buffet or elsewhere, look at the venue's own website.

Getting there

Great Blue Heron has no scheduled bus stop nearby, so you will need a car or a ride. Parking on site is free.

Card and ID rules match Woodbine. Both casinos use the Great Canadian Rewards card and ask for 19+. Carry a secondary photo ID along with an original government photo ID. Both also say: We ID under 30.
