Gateway Casinos Thunder Bay
This page looks at Gateway Casinos Thunder Bay from the outside: where it stands, who runs it, and what waits on and around its floor. It also covers what to carry at the door. Opening hours are not here, since the room's own page keeps those.
01
A Northern Star on Cumberland Street
Gateway Casinos Thunder Bay stands at 50 Cumberland St. South, Thunder Bay, ON P7B 5L4. It is a casino that opened in 2000 and marked 25 years in August 2025. Some visitors may remember its former name, OLG Casino Thunder Bay. The phone line is 807-766-7900.
Ontario's land-based casinos are conducted and managed by OLG, with day-to-day operations contracted to private service providers. Here that provider is Gateway Casinos & Entertainment. In this guide's night sky, the room is one star in the North constellation. The guide maps 30 rooms across six regions, without claiming to list every one.

Parking on site is free. Wheelchairs, accessible formats and communication supports are available on request. Opening hours live on the room's own page, and this guide does not copy them.
