Mar 31, 2020 Re: The Great Blue Heron Charity Casino (Port Perry, ON) There is no mandatory poker training. And the poker dealers that you might have felt competent aren't required to take it (or continue to deal the game).
For years, this was the place to play. Fastest dealers, best management, best game, everything. Now, as is always the case, unions ruin everything. Dealers barely even say thank you for tips, game speed at a crawl, pit staff feels like they’re the attraction (yes, you, Susan and Tom) and the place is paralyzed by the list. Everybody shows up and placed their name on every list because there’s no way of knowing what will open next or if there will even be a dealer to open something. I was 40th on 5-10 limit, 10-20 and 1-2 at 3pm on a Thursday last time there. Dealers sat at vacant tables.
Now that they’ve changed poker managers, I wonder if the current one has ever played the game.
5 years ago, this would have been a 5 star glowing review. Now, I play in Niagara or Buffalo.

The Great Blue Heron Casino is located on Scugog Island, just east of the community of Port Perry, Ontario, and northeast of Toronto. Both the Casino and the land on which it is built are owned by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. The First Nation theme is carried throughout the facility, in the interior art and is especially noticeable in the signature red, blue and cream colour roof.
The Great Blue Heron Gaming Company, a partnership of Casinos Austria, the Steiner Family, and Sonco Gaming, operates the Casino. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation manages the slots, while the Baagwating Community Association, a non-profit, charitable organization formed by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation, manages the table games. Revenues and profits are distributed among the parties, and to various charitable organizations, based upon contractual sharing arrangements.
Opened originally in 1997, with gaming tables and a 650-seat bingo hall, the Casino was extensively renovated in 1999 and 2000. Its floor area is approximately 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2), in which there are now two bars, one restaurant, a slots' room with 545 machines and a 60 table games. The table games include: Roulette, Blackjack, Spanish 21, Mini Baccarat, Let it Ride Poker, Texas Hold Em Poker, Pai Gow Poker, Three & Four Card Poker and Texas Hold Em Bonus Poker. As of 1999, there is no longer a bingo hall on premises.
The Casino is currently receiving renovations that will be completed in July of 2020.[1] The expansion includes a 100 room hotel as well as a 20,000 square foot addition to hold more slots and tables and a 500 seat entertainment centre.[2]
