Slot Machines on the Floor
For most guests, everything starts with the slots. At 50 Cumberland St S we run over 450 machines across the gaming floor, so you are not short of options when you walk in. The layout is spread out enough that you do not feel like you are facing one endless row of identical cabinets.
We mix different reel setups, volatility profiles, and licensed themes through the space. That mix is standard practice in the industry because it keeps the room feeling active and it makes it easier to find the style of play you prefer. Some of the branded titles that tend to pull people in are Wheel of Fortune, Devil’s Lock, Huff n’ More Puff, and Little Shop of Horrors. On busy evenings and weekends, these banks of machines often have the most traffic around them.
The slot area is by far the largest gaming category we operate on site, and in practice it becomes the first stop for most first-time visitors, then they branch out to tables after.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Total Machines | 450+ |
| Branded Titles | Wheel of Fortune, Devil’s Lock, Huff n’ More Puff, Little Shop of Horrors |
| Floor Hours | 9:00 AM - 4:00 AM most days |
| Extended Hours | Thursday through Sunday |
| Accessibility | Wheelchair accessible, Wi-Fi on-site |
In line with regional market standards, our floor generally runs from 9:00 AM until 4:00 AM on most days. From Thursday through Sunday we extend availability, but around peak holiday periods the pattern can shift a little, so we always recommend checking the current schedule before you set out.
Parking on-site is free. If driving is not ideal for you, public transit routes serve the Cumberland St S area and bring you close to our entrance.
A quick practical point that holds true across casino properties, not just ours: when you are walking into a gaming floor for the first time, give yourself roughly 20 minutes to wander and get a feel for the layout before committing to a seat. Once you have circled the space once, the way the sections are arranged - slots, tables, stadium games - usually makes much more sense.
My Club Rewards - How It Actually Works
From our side, getting value from a visit starts a little earlier than the first spin. The official site at thunderbay.gatewaycasinos.com has a Gaming section with a dedicated slots page that outlines what is currently featured on the floor. Regular players use it to see which titles are active before they drop in.
Once you are physically on the floor, My Club Rewards is the core loyalty program we run at this property. According to standard industry practice, everything is anchored to a single player card.
Setting it up is straightforward:
- When you arrive, go to the My Club Rewards desk on property - our staff there handle new sign-ups and questions.
- Bring government-issued photo ID that confirms you are at least 19 years old.
- Fill in the registration details and we print your rewards card right away.
- Before you start playing, insert the card into the reader at your machine so the system can recognize your session.
- As you play eligible machines, tier-eligible points and balances track automatically in the background.
- You can check how many points you have either at the rewards desk or using the on-floor kiosks.
- Points can be redeemed for eligible rewards - the desk keeps an up-to-date list of what is currently available.
- It is a good idea to keep the card active by using it regularly, as inactivity rules can apply.
The card is connected to your individual profile and keeps a record of your gaming activity across visits, which is standard for reward programs in our sector. Team members at the desk can step in with card replacements, detailed balance questions, or to walk you through current redemption choices.
For Gateway Casino Thunder Bay specifically, there is no separate online account area for My Club Rewards management listed. Everything you do with the program runs through on-property touchpoints: the service desk and the kiosks on the floor. For some players that is actually simpler, since it means one less password to keep track of.
Table Games and the E-Table Setup
Slots are only one part of our gaming mix. On the same floor, we operate 6 live table games together with 18 electronic table game positions in an E-Table stadium configuration.
Our live tables follow standard Ontario market practice: blackjack and roulette are permanent fixtures, complemented by 4 Card Poker, Mississippi Stud, and Let It Ride. Exact hours and which tables are open can shift based on the day of the week, the time, and overall traffic in the room. If a certain game is important for your visit, giving us a quick call in advance is the safest option.
The E-Table stadium is a different way to access some of the same game types. Instead of sitting at a felt table with a dealer, you sit at an electronic terminal and place wagers and decisions on a screen. Some guests like this format because it lets them move at a pace that suits them and reduces the social pressure that can come with a busy live table. Others use it as a way to get familiar with game flow before they move over to a live environment.
Everything - live tables, E-Table stadium, and slots - runs within the same venue footprint, so moving between machines and tables is simply a matter of walking across the floor.
| Game Type | Format | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Live Table Games | Dealer-run | Blackjack, Roulette, 4 Card Poker, Mississippi Stud, Let It Ride |
| Electronic Table Games | Terminal-based | Table game formats via E-Table stadium |
| Total Live Tables | 6 | - |
| Total Electronic Tables | 18 | - |
You may see third-party listings quoting slightly different counts. That usually comes down to timing or catalogue lag.
