The floor
Slots, E-Tables and live tables
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 run on the floor's hours, 9 AM to 4 AM, 7 days a week, which suits a car that reaches the Lakehead late. Holiday hours are not published, so the casino line, 807-766-7900, is the place to check before a holiday visit.
My Club Rewards membership is free. It is set up at the Guest Services desk with valid ID, and points then accrue at slot machines and table games. The door rule applies here too: 19 or older with valid government-issued photo ID, and a second ID with the name at 21 or younger.
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. There is no hotel at the casino either, so an overnight stop means a room elsewhere in the city.
The Getaway Restaurant
The Getaway Restaurant is right off the casino floor. It serves light meals, snacks and drinks, with sports on TV, and a bar sells grab-and-go food. Its hours are not given in this guide, so the casino line, 807-766-7900, is the place to ask.
Coffee, tea and fountain pop are complimentary. No other drinks are on the free list, alcoholic or not. Bank machines (ABMs), currency exchange and lottery are also on site.
