Playing at Shorelines Casino Belleville

Taken together, slots and electronic table games number nearly 500 at the casino; the slots alone have no separate count. The machines range from 1 cent slots to higher-limit ones. Both extremes appear on the list, but no figures are published for how many machines are at each end.

Neither the building nor the slots have published opening hours. Slots can be played any time the doors are open, though no times are given for that. Anyone setting out from one of the bay towns who wants certainty can call 613-689-9100. Holiday hours go unposted too, and a call to that number settles those as well.

That total of nearly 500 includes the 16 electronic table games. They cover Craps, Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette and the poker titles Jacks or Better, 4 of a Kind and Deuces Wild. Each one is played from a single seat, at whatever pace the player sets. Craps is offered here in electronic form, not among the listed live games. A round advances only when the seated player advances it.

The casino lists 12 live table games, and those named for Belleville are Roulette, RuYi Baccarat, Blackjack, Mississippi Stud, Ultimate Texas Hold'em and Free Bet Blackjack. Business volume decides which of them open. There are also low-limit live tables on the same hours, with minimums set by that day's demand.

On weeknights from Monday to Thursday, the dealers at Shorelines Casino Belleville work from 4 PM, and the live tables shut at midnight. Each Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the cards come out at noon and play stops at 2 AM the following morning. A Thursday visitor finds the buffet shut at 9 PM while the tables carry on until midnight. No holiday schedule is posted for Bell Boulevard, so the Bay Hours desk suggests ringing 613-689-9100 before any holiday evening. There is no poker room in the building.
