The casino was great, but the service in the Match Restaurant was not good at all. We waited a long time, just for someone to notice us. Manager was rude and told us there was an hour wait. We looked inside and there was maybe 4 tables of people. She could have taken our names and asked us to come back. We ended up having friends there so we asked to go sit with them. She said okay, but you still have to wait. It was difficult to have eye contact with any of the wait staff. The young waitress that brought us the food was the only shining light. I didn't get her name, but she has a cat tattooed on her arm and his name is Oreo.

Very disappointed in this place and after what happened last night we won't be back!
They closed at 2am which wasn't the issue.
We were leaving at 1:50am and my wife wanted to use the bathroom as we had a 30m drive home. The workers had closed the bathroom before the casino closed ! The cleaning lady said the wash rooms were closed. We asked the cleaning "why when you are still open?" the cleaning lady said " I guess they got busy and forgot to announce it" What type of establishment that serves drinks closes the bathrooms when they still have customers ? I have never heard of this !
When I mentioned to the door man this wasn't right I got zero response.
Because of this type of customer treatment we won't be back!

I love this location, small and calm atmosphere. The employees are nice but i felt eyes on me the whole time. I used to do surveillance at the casino so it might just be my karma. I would definitely return. Try the Quickhits/Blitz. Thank me later.

Small but lots of parking and plenty of handicap parking close to the door was not very crowded played for a while on our money. Nice atmosphere friendly helpful staff clean washrooms free drink vendor on way out to smoking patio. Large welcoming eatery with daily specials which we did not try. Mondays special was fish and chips for thirteen dollars seemed very reasonable price should have tried. Caution exiting casino to hwy 26 is difficult no lefts. Overall great experience would go again.

How to Reach the Venue

Accessibility

The building is fully wheelchair accessible, with level entrances and open floor layouts that ease movement across the gaming area. Smoking is prohibited indoors; designated outdoor areas accommodate smokers and vapers. Free soft drinks and coffee are available at beverage stations located just off the main floor.

Directions and Parking

The casino sits a couple of blocks from the shoreline, close to Highway 26. Visitors arrive by car, taxi, or ride-share, and free parking is available directly in front of the building. Guests using local transit reach the entrance within a five-minute walk from nearby stops. Drivers from Toronto follow Highway 400 north toward Barrie before connecting to regional routes into Wasaga Beach.

How to Play the Slots

The gaming floor holds approximately 230 multi-denomination slot machines, combining classic reel-style units with video formats that include interactive bonus rounds. Players select a machine, insert cash or a voucher, set the bet level, and press spin to begin. Bet limits generally span CAD $1 to CAD $100, with no dedicated high-roller room or VIP section.

Recognizable titles on the floor include:

88 Fortunes and Super Buffalo (Asian and wildlife themes)
Wheel of Fortune (progressive jackpot)
Lightning Link and Quick Hits (linked-feature series)
Willy Wonka (licensed video slot)

Progressive units, such as Wheel of Fortune, pool prizes that grow with each wager placed across the network. Players track the current jackpot total on the machine display before committing a spin. Winnings up to the machine limit dispense as a voucher, redeemable at the cashier cage.

How to Use the Electronic Table Games

In place of live dealer tables, the venue operates 12 interconnected electronic gaming stations that simulate table play through video terminals. Each station offers automated and dealer-assist modes, with titles including Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, and War. Players take a seat, touch the screen to select a game, place chips through the digital interface, and confirm each round. The format supports faster round speeds than conventional tables while retaining a shared, social setting.

Game Type	Format	Available Titles	Bet Range
Slots	Reel and video	88 Fortunes, Wheel of Fortune	CAD $1–$100
Electronic Tables	12 stations	Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, War	Station-dependent
Progressives	Networked	Wheel of Fortune	CAD $1–$100

Members also gain access to special events plus dining and accommodation discounts at partnered hotels.

Deposits at the cashier can be made with cash, while bank-based funding runs through Interac e-Transfer; major cards (Visa, Mastercard) are also accepted.

The menu covers pub fare, shareable plates, and comfort dishes, supported by daily specials. A covered patio includes a heating system that extends al fresco dining into colder months and a misting system for summer heat, and live entertainment runs on weekends. The casino itself opens daily from 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM, with extended hours until 4:00 AM on Fridays and Saturdays.

Patrons confirm current promotional terms and eligibility at the customer service kiosk before participating, since offers change periodically. Membership in My Club Rewards is recommended ahead of these events, since several promotions credit free play directly to the player card.
