How we work
Facts on this site come from sources we could read and cite, checked on 15 November 2026 unless a date says otherwise. In order of preference: the operator's or hotel brand's own pages, then public bodies (Ontario Parks, VIA Rail, regulators, help lines), then local and trade news, then Wikipedia, which we mark as secondary. If we could not find a source for something, it is not on the site.

Contradictions we found, printed as contradictions
- Postal code. The operator's "find us" box says K8P 5H8, while its casino and restaurant lists and the Google listing say K8P 5H9.
- Number of tables. The operator lists 12 live tables today. Reports from 2016 said 22 and "around 20".
- Number of slots. The operator says "nearly 500 slots and e-tables", and its counter shows 500 slots plus 16 e-tables. At the 2017 opening the trade press reported "more than 450".
- Accessible rooms. Marriott's filter shows no accessible rooms, while its gallery has an accessible bathroom.
- Distance to Sandbanks. The hotel's list says 30 km. Google Maps says 45 km by road.
- Casino hours. Google says open 24 hours. The operator's holiday notices suggest shorter regular hours.
What we could not confirm
- the number of suites (100 according to trade press at the 2015 opening, not on Marriott's current pages);
- suite sizes, check-in and check-out times, parking terms and pet fees at the hotel;
- the general opening hours of the casino;
- a current entertainment calendar for the casino;
- which roulette wheel (single or double zero) the casino uses;
- the architect of the casino building;
- any documented legends about the place.
Public ratings
We do not publish star ratings or review averages. The Google Maps listing for the casino showed 4.0 when we checked it on 15 November 2026, but we could not reliably read the number of reviews, so we do not lean on that figure. Read the reviews yourself and look at their dates.
