  • The poker room at Great Canadian Toronto will also feature larger poker tournaments, making it a destination for poker competition. Players can test their skills in competitive environments.
  • Table-side food & beverage offered by "Aces Kitchen" from Woodbine Entertainment Group serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and grab & go meals and snacks to guests playing at the tables, or, who want to take a break at the restaurant.

"Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto is dedicated to providing an exceptional entertainment experience, and the poker room is a testament to our commitment to meeting the diverse interests of the poker community," said Michael Kim, Executive Vice President, Great Canadian Entertainment. "The fully operational poker room and the introduction of the 'Bad Beat' Jackpot are just the beginning of many exciting things yet to come at the resort."
