How to read the table
- Pick your direction first. Toronto, the east GTA and west or southwest Ontario mean very different drives. A slightly better game an hour away is often a worse night.
- Match the game you want. Not every room spreads every limit. Use the stakes matrix rather than assuming.
- Check the clock. Toronto and Pickering publish 24/7 poker. Mohawk and Brantford don't, and Casino Niagara closes at 3:45 a.m.
- Check the live list. A room can list a stake without that game running when you arrive.
Quick reads from the table
If you want Omaha
Great Canadian Toronto publishes the widest Omaha menu. Pickering lists a 20/40 Omaha ½ Kill game. At Casino Niagara, Omaha runs based on demand, so call first. More in the Omaha guide.
If you want Limit Hold'em
Brantford is the room with a published Limit ladder: 4/8, 10/20 and 20/40.
If you want to know the buy-in in advance
Mohawk posts buy-in ranges with each game. Everywhere else, ask the desk. The buy-in calculator shows what 50, 100 or 200 big blinds costs at any stake.
If you want a tournament
Pickering publishes weekly tournaments and Casino Niagara publishes recurring ones. Check the tournament calendar for dated events.
If you want two rooms side by side
The poker room comparison tool lets you tick the rooms you care about and compare them attribute by attribute.
Why there's no "live" table count here
A static table can't tell you what's running at this moment, and we'd rather not pretend. So we keep three things separate: the published offering (what the room says it spreads), the operating hours (when the room is open) and live availability (what's actually seated now). For the last one, check PokerAtlas, Bravo or the phone. The waitlists page shows which each room uses.
