The new lower limits
Great Blue Heron Casino & Hotel lists a line called 'New Lower Limits'. It gives blackjack a $15 minimum, and five games a $10 minimum. They are Let it Ride, Mississippi Stud, Four Card Poker, a Texas Hold'em variant and High Card Flush. The casino has 20 live table games: blackjack, roulette, squeeze baccarat and minor games. The line gives no amount for roulette or squeeze baccarat.
Minimums change, and these were checked on October 7 and 8, 2026. A minimum is the smallest bet a table takes. It is not a budget. Set the budget before leaving home, and keep it whatever the minimum on the felt says.
Table hours
Great Blue Heron Casino & Hotel is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That covers the building. The hours of its table games are not published, so this guide shows no times for the $15 minimum or the $10 minimum. Being open around the clock does not mean every table is dealt around the clock. Which tables are running is a question to ask on arrival.
Holiday hours are not given here either, so check them on the venue's own site. Minimums change too, which makes it sensible to ask about the minimum at a table before sitting down.
Getting there and getting in
Great Blue Heron Casino & Hotel is at 21777 Island Road, Port Perry, ON L9L 1B6, on Scugog Island. The phone number is 905-985-4888. Parking on site is free, and the property has a 116-room hotel. In a straight line it is 117.0 km from Elements Casino Mohawk, which is not a driving distance.
Anyone under 19 is refused entry. Anyone who looks under 30 is asked for ID, so bring it. Great Canadian Rewards works here as it does at the other four casinos in this guide. Comp Dollars are earned on live table games, while Reward Points are earned on slots and electronic table games, not on live tables.
