CARDLESS RATING

Cardless play is currently available at Casino Woodbine, Great Blue Heron Casino & Hotel, Casino Ajax, Casino Ajax, Pickering Casino Resort and Elements Casinos. We are working as fast as possible to enable this feature at all Shorelines locations very soon.

The new cardless rewards feature allows members to enter their member account number and PIN directly at a slot machine to start earning and redeeming rewards without inserting a physical rewards card.
Members will select the “Touch Here to Sign in Without a Card” icon on the Slot Machine and enter your member account number and PIN. When finished, select “End Session” to end your play session.
Up to 3 rated sessions open at one time.
The session will time out automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Just like playing with a physical card, a PIN is required every time free play is downloaded to the device.

The PIN will lock after 5 failed attempts. To have your PIN unlocked, visit Guest Services.

No, you must access an Express Kiosk with a physical rewards card.
