Opening hours

The casino opens at 9 am every day. From Sunday to Thursday it closes at 2 am, and on Friday and Saturday it closes at 3 am. Those late closing times belong to the night before, so the Saturday close at 3 am falls in the early hours of Sunday. All times are local time in Sault Ste. Marie, which is Eastern Time.

Live table hours, meaning the hours when a dealer runs a table, are not published. Holiday hours are not published either. Before a holiday visit, the phone number 705-759-0100 is the check.

A close after midnight belongs to the day the row starts on. Holiday hours and live table hours are not published.

Gateway Casinos Sault Ste. Marie hours

ID at the door

Ontario law says no one under 19 may enter or stay in a casino, except staff at work. The house rule matches it: guests must be 19 or older and carry valid government-issued photo ID. Guests aged 21 or younger must also carry a second piece of ID with their name. A guest aged 19, for example, brings both.

Self-exclusion means a person has asked to be kept out of gambling for a set time. Anyone who has self-excluded or been trespassed from this casino or any Ontario gaming property may not visit. The check tool on this page walks through these rules.

Will the ID get you in?

19+ with photo ID

What to bring to the casino door

On the casino floor

The slot machines range from penny games to $5.00 denominations. They include video slots, stepper slots, also called reel slots, and keno games. The casino does not publish how many machines it has.

An Electronic Table Games Lounge is on the casino floor. At an electronic table, each player sits at a screen and plays at their own pace. The game list and number of seats are not published. Live tables have a dealer at the table. The casino does not publish how many there are, which games run or their hours, and it names no poker room.

Inside Gateway Casinos Sault Ste. Marie

Food and services

Getaway is the casino's fully licensed restaurant and bar, open every day. The breakfast menu runs from 9:30 am to 11 am, and the regular menu from 11 am to 9 pm. It serves light meals, snacks and drinks. For a quick bite, the bar has grab-and-go food.

The casino also offers bank machines (ABMs), currency exchange and lottery. It is accessible to customers with disabilities. Wheelchairs, accessible formats and communication supports are available on request. My Club Rewards is the casino's players card: members earn points at slot machines and table games. Joining is free at the Guest Services desk with valid ID.

The drive to Bay Street

Distances here are straight lines from the casino to each town's map point. Bruce Mines is 49 km away and Blind River 113 km. Elliot Lake is 130 km, and Wawa, to the north, is 167 km. Sudbury lies 257 km to the east, and Thunder Bay 425 km to the north-west. The city's own map point is 0.9 km from the casino.

Roads are longer than these lines, so the drive itself covers more ground. The distance tool below opens a route from a chosen town. The casino has no hotel, and it does not publish a shuttle or a city bus stop.

Online play in Ontario

Ontario has a regulated online casino market. Each private site must be registered by the AGCO, the regulator, and have an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario (iGO). A directory of the authorized sites is published by iGO, and any site can be checked there. OLG.ca is the government-run online casino. Online play is for people 19 or older who are physically in Ontario.

A site that takes Ontario players without AGCO registration is not a legal operator in Ontario. The Ad links on this guide's home page go to one private online casino partner, which pays the guide a commission. Readers can check that partner in the iGO directory. The partner can change.
