The daily window
Gateway Casinos Thunder Bay keeps one window for the whole week: 9 AM to 4 AM, 7 days a week. A day's session runs past midnight and ends in the early hours of the next calendar morning. Someone who arrives late on a Friday evening has until 4 AM on Saturday. From 4 AM to 9 AM the doors are closed, and the 9 AM opening holds on weekends too.
Holiday hours are not published. Before a visit on a statutory holiday, call the casino line at 807-766-7900. Every time on this page is Thunder Bay time, which runs on Eastern time.
Hours this guide does not give
Some times are not published here: live table hours, the current table count and the hours of the Getaway Restaurant. The restaurant sits right off the casino floor. It serves light meals, snacks and drinks, with sports on TV and a bar with grab-and-go food. In 2024 the casino's pages listed 6 live table games, but that list is from 2024 and may not match the floor. A call to 807-766-7900 settles table times, table minimums and restaurant hours before a late arrival.
Complimentary non-alcoholic drinks are limited to coffee, tea and fountain pop.
Arriving after midnight
Hours on the road change how time feels, and a 4 AM closing can come sooner than it seems after pulling into the lot. A plan made before the doors helps: settle how long to stay and how much to spend, then keep to both. Parking on site is free, so the car can sit while that plan is set. Entry is 19 and over under Ontario law, with valid government-issued photo ID, plus a second ID with the name for anyone 21 or younger. A visit that started late still ends at 4 AM.
