Poker-Style Table Games on Our Floor

We run a full live table game floor here in Peterborough, and poker-format titles are a steady part of that mix. Ultimate Texas Hold’em, 3-Card Poker, Mississippi Stud - all of these are dealt by live dealers against the house, not player against player. It is important to keep that in mind if you arrive expecting a traditional poker room or a classic cash game setup. What we operate is house-banked, structured, and, for a lot of guests, more approachable than a full player-versus-player environment.

Our novelty poker tables generally start at 5 CAD per hand. Selected blackjack tables start at 15 CAD a hand. You do not need a big bankroll to sit down, play a couple of hands, and see if you like the format.

Current live table game hours are:

These times apply to live table games only. Slot machines operate on extended hours beyond this schedule. If you prefer to double-check before you drive out, calling us at 1-833-678-0880 is the safest option, as hours can change and third-party sites do not always update fast enough.

Getting to a Table When You Arrive

Moving from the parking lot to your first hand is quite straightforward, without much formal process. For most guests it looks roughly like this:

1. Arrive at 3800 Fisher Drive, Peterborough, Ontario, K9J 6X6 and come in through the main entrance.
2. Present valid government-issued photo ID at the door - the minimum age for the gaming floor in Ontario is 19.
3. Once inside, make your way to the table games area on the main level.
4. Look for the Novelty Poker or Ultimate Texas Hold’em tables. If you are not sure where those are, any floor attendant can point you in the right direction.
5. Check the posted minimum limit at the table before you sit down. Novelty Poker usually opens at 5 CAD per hand.
6. Exchange cash for chips either with the dealer at the table, or at the cashier cage if you prefer to do it ahead of time.
7. Place your ante or initial bet according to the rules sheet and layout at that table.

If a particular variant is unfamiliar, it is completely fine to say so. Our dealers can explain the hand structure and betting order before you start playing. Every table has a rules card available, and our team is not going to rush you into a hand if you still have a question.

What Poker Variants We Actually Offer

In short, we do not operate a poker room on site. That means no live cash games, no sit-and-go tournaments, and no player-versus-player poker sessions. What we do offer is a set of poker-style games where each hand is played out directly against the dealer, under fixed house rules.

The poker-format games currently available on our floor include:

1. Ultimate Texas Hold’em - community cards in the middle, Ante and Blind wagers, and a direct showdown against the dealer.
2. 3-Card Poker - a quick three-card format for both dealer and player, with a very simple final comparison of hands.
3. Mississippi Stud - a five-card structure where you build your hand step-by-step, increasing or holding your bets as cards are revealed.
4. Additional novelty poker variants that run according to our internal schedule.

We also have video poker machines in the electronic gaming section. Those terminals use a five-card draw format, with no dealer and no pressure from other players, so you can take your time on each decision. They are a useful option if you like poker logic but prefer to play at your own pace.

About the Property and Who Runs It

Shorelines Casino Peterborough is part of the Great Canadian Entertainment network. The same operator also runs Shorelines Casino Belleville, Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands in Gananoque, and Shorelines Slots at Kawartha Downs in Fraserville. All four properties are overseen by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, which sets and enforces the rules we operate under.

At our Peterborough site we offer around 500 slot machines and 22 live table games in total. On the same property you will also find a daily buffet, a full-service restaurant, and a bar. It keeps things practical if you are planning to stay for a full evening and do not want to leave the building between play, food, and drinks.

Online Poker for Ontario Players - What We Can Tell You

We operate strictly as a land-based casino. There is no Shorelines-branded online poker room, and there is no separate Great Canadian Entertainment poker site. If you searched for Shorelines Casino Peterborough poker online because you were hoping to log in from home, that is an understandable search term, but at this time it is not a service we provide.

Since 2022, Ontario’s regulated iGaming market has allowed private operators to offer online gambling products under AGCO licences. Within that framework, some of those regulated platforms now run online poker rooms that include player-versus-player cash games and tournaments. These platforms are separate businesses, and they do not operate as digital extensions of land-based properties such as ours. For online poker in Ontario, the regulated path goes through those licensed sites and apps, not through our venue.

It is also important to mention that a few third-party casino directories attach generic online poker offers or welcome bonuses to our property listings. Those online promotions are not created by Shorelines Casino Peterborough, and they are not connected with Great Canadian Entertainment. We do not endorse those offers, and they should not be viewed as our products or services.

Planning the Visit

If you are already in central Peterborough, our property is usually less than a 15-minute drive away. Fisher Drive connects in to Highway 115 and the Kawarthas road network, and parking is on site, directly by the building, so the access itself is simple.

Before you come out, it helps to sort out a few practical details:

1. Call 1-833-678-0880 to confirm the current table game hours. Third-party listings and maps can occasionally display old schedules.
2. Make sure you bring valid government-issued photo ID. Ontario regulations require proof that you are at least 19 years of age before you enter the gaming floor, and there are no exceptions to that requirement.
3. Decide on a budget for your visit ahead of time. Table minimums start at 5 CAD, but having a clear spending limit usually makes the experience calmer and more controlled. This is general gambling advice and not specific to our property alone.
4. Check our Instagram account at shorelinescptbo for any posted promotions, special events, or schedule notes that might affect your visit.
5. The buffet and the main restaurant do not normally require reservations for standard service, so you can plan to eat on site without much advance planning.

If there is anything you want to clarify before you head out, you can reach us by email at [email protected] or over the phone at the main number. We can confirm which poker-style tables are expected to be open and whether there are any poker-related promotions scheduled for the date you have in mind.

Responsible Gaming

All gambling activities on our floor run under the oversight of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. That means Ontario’s responsible gambling rules apply to everything we do - from age checks at the entrance, to self-exclusion options, to visible information on where to find help if gambling stops feeling like entertainment. The legal minimum age for play here is 19, in line with provincial law.

If at any point gaming starts to feel stressful, or less like a casual leisure activity, support is available through the Responsible Gambling Council and through ConnexOntario. Our staff receive training so they can connect guests with these resources when needed. We encourage every visitor to set both time limits and spending limits before they start playing, and, just as importantly, to follow those limits once they are on the floor.
