The Great Blue Heron Casino features over 545 slot games as well as slot tournaments where players compete on identical machines in a timed round to accumulate the highest score possible. Whilst there is no hotel on-site and no hotels within walking distance, you will find a quite a few within a 15 minute drive including San Man Motel, Howard Johnson Inn and Admiral Inn and Conference Centre But if you are coming by car you will have no trouble parking as there are over 1,000 free parking places. To get to the casino by public transport from Toronto is fairly complicated – you need to take the Lakeshore East Train to Whitby, the number 81 bus to Port Perry and then a taxi for the last 14 kilometers.
The Great Blue Heron Casino is less than one hour north east of Toronto, and a 30-40 minute drive from Markham, Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Peterborough and Lindsay.
The First Nation theme is carried throughout the facility, in the interior art and is especially noticeable in the signature red, blue and cream colored roof. Designed to reflect an earthy Native American theme, both the Casino and the land on which it is built are owned by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. Located in Port Perry, Ontario, the Great Blue Heron Casino features over 25,000 square feet of gaming space.
