Who can enter: 19 and over
In Ontario, the legal age for a casino is 19. Anyone younger may not enter or remain inside, with one exception: staff who are working. This rule sits in the Gaming Control Act, 1992, at section 2(3). The operator's guest code of conduct says the same, so Shorelines Casino Belleville turns away anyone under 19. Young-looking guests should be ready to prove their age, as the next section explains.
Photo ID and the under-30 rule
Any guest who seems younger than 30 will be asked for ID at Shorelines Casino Belleville. All guests need acceptable photo ID issued by a government, shown as the original physical card. A phone picture of the card is not accepted, nor is a paper copy. Staff can request a second ID as well.
A simple habit saves a wasted trip: carry two pieces of ID. The first should be the original government-issued photo ID. The second is there in case staff ask for it.
Smoking, vaping and cannabis
At Shorelines Casino Belleville, guests may smoke or vape only in designated areas, which are spots reserved for it. Both are banned on the rest of the property. Cannabis has a tighter rule. It is banned across the entire property, including the designated smoking areas.
The players card
A players card is a membership card that a casino gives to its guests. At Shorelines Casino Belleville, that card is Great Canadian Rewards. Becoming a member costs nothing. People can get the card online or in person at Guest Services. Members insert the card into a slot machine when they play.
Great Canadian Rewards Comp Dollars are accepted at Shorelines Casino Belleville. The casino has the Windward Restaurant, with a fully licensed bar, and the Great Canadian Buffet.
Before leaving home
- Pack physical, original government-issued photo ID, not a photo or a copy.
- Pack a second piece of ID in case staff ask for it.
- Decide on a money limit and a time limit before arriving, and stop when either is reached.
- Save the casino's number, 613-689-9100, and call before a holiday visit, since general and holiday hours are not published.
