Parking Options
A heated underground car park is provided at no charge, including for poker patrons. Capacity is limited, so weekend arrivals should plan earlier entry. The single-floor layout is fully wheelchair-accessible, carers enter free, and service animals are permitted.
Playing the Slot Machines
The slot floor runs daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 AM and holds machines in penny, nickel, quarter, $1, and $5 denominations. Formats include three-reel classics, multi-line video slots, and networked multi-progressive titles where the prize pool grows across linked terminals. Slot attendants circulate to assist players and sanitize machines on request. To begin, a guest inserts a banknote (machines accept CAD only); winnings and change return digitally for redemption at a floor kiosk.
To play and cash out, players follow these steps:
- Insert a valid bill into the acceptor and confirm the on-screen credit balance.
- Select a denomination and paylines on the touch panel before pressing Spin.
- Cash out to a printed voucher, then redeem it at a redemption kiosk on the main floor.
- Present the voucher and photo ID at Guest Services for amounts subject to reporting (prizes of $10,000 or more are reported to FINTRAC).
Slot promotions rotate on fixed calendar dates, and scheduled bonus point offers can reach 14X during set windows. Players collect entries automatically once a machine is funded through the loyalty card reader.
Six Shooter Slot Lounge
The Six Shooter Slot Lounge provides a higher-limit area off the main floor, with machines in $1 to $5 denominations. Access is open to any patron seeking higher-stakes spins in a quieter setting.
