The floor
What Gateway Casinos Thunder Bay Offers
The floor at Gateway Casinos Thunder Bay centres on 450 slot machines, an electronic table area called the E-Table Stadium, and live dealer tables. Just off it, the Getaway Restaurant serves light meals, snacks and drinks to anyone stepping away from the machines.

450 slot machines
The casino lists 450 slot machines. They keep the floor's schedule, 9 AM until 4 AM daily, a fit for a car that rolls into the Lakehead late. No holiday schedule is posted, so phoning the casino line, 807-766-7900, comes first before a holiday visit.
My Club Rewards membership is free. Enrolment needs valid ID, presented at the Guest Services desk, and each session at slot machines or table games then adds points. Entry rules still apply: 19 or up, valid government-issued photo ID, and for those 21 or under, a second named ID.
The E-Table Stadium
Electronic table games sit in an area the casino calls the E-Table Stadium. In 2024 the casino described it as 18 interconnected stations offering blackjack, roulette, baccarat and craps.
That list comes from 2024. In August 2025 the general manager confirmed that electronic table games are on site. The current station count and game mix are not published. Anyone coming from Kenora or Marathon with one game in mind can call 807-766-7900 first.
Live tables with a dealer
Live table games with a dealer are part of the floor as well. In 2024 the casino's pages listed 6 live table games, among them Blackjack, Mississippi Stud Poker, a Texas Hold'em game and Roulette. That list is a 2024 snapshot, not a current lineup. The current number of tables, the table hours and the minimums are not published. A call to 807-766-7900 settles all three before setting out from Nipigon or Dryden.
Some things are not described at all. The casino's pages mention no poker room, and bingo, keno and sports betting do not come up. The casino has no hotel either, so staying overnight means finding a room somewhere else in the city.
The Getaway Restaurant
The Getaway Restaurant is right off the casino floor. On offer are light meals, snacks and drinks, sports play on TV, and the bar sells grab-and-go food. This guide does not give its hours; the casino line, 807-766-7900, can answer that.
Free drinks cover coffee, tea and fountain pop. No other drinks are on the free list, alcoholic or not. Lottery, currency exchange and bank machines (ABMs) are also on site.
