The night
When the doors close
From Sunday to Thursday, the casino on Bay Street runs from 9 am to 2 am. Friday and Saturday stretch an hour further, to 3 am. Both closes land in the early hours of the next day. A 2 am close after a Thursday evening still counts as Thursday's night, even though the calendar has turned to Friday.
Every time given here follows the Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, local clock (Eastern Time). Bear that in mind when planning the return trip across the bridge.

The night
Supper first, then the floor
Getaway is the casino's fully licensed restaurant and bar, open every day. The breakfast menu runs from 9:30 am to 11 am. After that, the regular menu takes over from 11 am until 9 pm. Food leans toward light meals and snacks, with drinks to go along. The bar also keeps grab-and-go food for a quick bite.
Coming over in the evening? Aim to sit down before 9 pm, when the regular menu stops. That way supper is done before you head to the floor.
The night
Slots and electronic tables
Slot denominations range from penny games up to $5.00 machines. The mix includes video slots, stepper slots (the reel type) and keno games. No count of the machines on the floor is published by the casino.
The Electronic Table Games Lounge, on the casino floor, brings the electronic tables together. Each player sits in front of a screen and sets their own speed. Neither the game list nor the seat count for the lounge is published, so check with staff if a particular game matters to you.
The night
Tables with a dealer
Live table games are available here, each table run by a dealer. The casino publishes no table count, no list of games and no opening or closing times for them. Nor is a poker room listed. If a late visit depends on the tables, phone 705-759-0100 before leaving. Ask what is running that night.
The night
A private room for groups
Up to 60 people fit in the Parlor Room, a space set aside for private events. It has a projector and a screen, a bar of its own and private washrooms. Minors are allowed in this room, unlike on the casino floor. To book, use the request form on the casino's website, saultstemarie.gatewaycasinos.com; the casino says it answers within 48 hours. Hours for the room match the casino's.
The night
Planning around a holiday
The casino does not publish holiday hours, so the usual week may not hold on those days. Before a holiday visit, call the casino at 705-759-0100 and ask. Any times you hear are local Sault Ste. Marie time, which is Eastern Time. That call is the check, since no holiday schedule appears in this guide either.
Questions
Quick answers
Is the casino still open after 2 am on a Saturday night?
Yes, on Saturday the casino runs until 3 am. Friday night has the same 3 am close, while Sunday to Thursday ends at 2 am. Both closes fall in the early hours of the next morning.
Can I still order supper at 9:30 pm?
The regular menu at Getaway runs until 9 pm, so 9:30 pm is past it. If you are coming over later in the evening, eat before you cross or aim to sit down by 9 pm.
Can I have breakfast before the floor opens?
No, the order runs the other way. The casino opens at 9 am, and the breakfast menu at Getaway starts at 9:30 am, running until 11 am.
Do the live dealer tables stay open until the doors close?
That is not published. The casino does not list hours for its live tables, so do not read the 2 am or 3 am close as table hours. Call 705-759-0100 before a late trip if the tables matter to you.
