Great Blue Heron Casino

Great Blue Heron Casino

The Great Blue Heron Charity Casino is located on Scugog Island, just east of the town of Port Perry, and northeast of Toronto, Ontario. Both the Casino and the land on which it is built are owned by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. The First Nation theme is carried throughout the facility, in the interior art and is especially noticable in the signature red, blue and green roof, suggestive of a tent.

The Great Blue Heron Gaming Company, a partnership of Casinos Austria International Ltd., Fantasy Entertainment Inc. and Sonco Gaming Inc., operates the Casino. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation manages the slots, while the Baagwating Community Association, a non-profit, charitable organization formed by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation, manages the table games. Revenues and profits are distributed among the parties, and to various charitable organizations, based upon contractual sharing arrangements.

Opened originally in 1997, with slots and a 650-seat bingo hall, the Casino was extensively renovated in 1999 and 2000. Its floor area is approximately 25,000 square feet, in which there are now two bars, one restaurant, a slots' room with 545 machines and a 60 table games (including a high stakes' area). The table games include: American Roulette, Blackjack, Spanish 21, Mini Baccarat, Let it Ride Poker, Texas Hold Em Poker, Pai Gow Poker, Three Card Poker and Texas Hold Em Bonus Poker.
