This page covers one star in the eastern sky of the guide: Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands in Gananoque. It answers where the room is, who runs it, what sits on its floor, and what you need at the door.
01
A casino on Highway 2
Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands stands at 380 Highway 2, Gananoque, Ontario, postal code K7G 2V4. It is a casino, and it opened in 2002. Over the years it has carried other names: OLG Casino Thousand Islands, Thousand Islands Charity Casino and Thousand Islands Casino. The phone number is 613-382-6800.
Under Ontario's model, land-based casinos are conducted and managed by OLG, with day-to-day operations contracted to private service providers. Here that provider is Great Canadian Entertainment, which took over from OLG in January 2016. That same year it invested about $1 million in quick fixes. In this guide, the room is one of the stars of the East and Ottawa constellation.
