What Is Actually Running On The Floor
South Beach Casino & Resort runs a focused live table games area inside its 40,000 square foot casino floor in Scanterbury, Manitoba. Real dealers, real felt, real chips on the layout - nothing broadcast from a studio and nothing remote. Every hand, every spin takes place in person at the resort on Highway 59, about a half-hour drive north of Winnipeg.
The official table games section at southbeachcasino.ca confirms that the live tables are back in action, with hours that shift depending on the day. That detail ends up mattering more than most visitors think. Overall casino opening hours and live table operating times are two separate schedules, so a quick check before you get in the car is just common sense.
The property falls under the Manitoba Gaming Control Commission, which provides the regulatory structure for all gambling activity on site.
Games At The Live Tables
| Game | Format |
|---|---|
| Blackjack | Double deck |
| Roulette | Standard wheel |
| Texas Shootout | Poker variant |
| High Card Flush | Card table game |
All of these titles run with a live dealer at a physical table on the main floor. Betting limits are set by the property and can change with overall floor traffic or when special events are on the schedule. Our team always suggests confirming the current minimums with the casino itself - regional venues like this one tend to adjust limits more often than people expect.
If you have never sat in on Texas Shootout or High Card Flush, it is worth spending a few minutes looking them up before you go. Blackjack and Roulette are familiar to most players, but those two specialty games use rules that are not instantly obvious when you pull up a chair.
Getting To The Tables - How It Actually Works
Reaching One Ocean Drive, Scanterbury, MB R0E 1W0 from Winnipeg is very direct along Highway 59. There is no cover charge to enter, parking is on site, and the property is fully wheelchair accessible. The casino floor itself is easy to navigate, with the live table zone marked out as a clear section inside the main gaming area.
For a first visit, the flow usually looks like this:
- Check what time the live tables start on the day you want to go - use southbeachcasino.ca or call 204-766-2100.
- When you arrive, stop at the cashier cage and swap cash or debit for chips. Only CAD is accepted on the gaming floor.
- Walk the live area and pick an open seat at your choice of table: Blackjack, Roulette, Texas Shootout, or High Card Flush.
- Place your wager within the posted table limits before the dealer closes the betting for that round.
- If any rules do not make sense, ask. Dealers will talk you through unfamiliar bets and basic flow, with no pressure and no fuss.
- When you are finished playing, head back to the cage and cash out your remaining chips.
Free Wi-Fi is available across the property. If you prefer to call rather than check the website, the toll-free number is 877-77LUCKY.
There is one general point that helps, not specific only to this casino but accurate for most regional properties. If you are going for the first time and want things a bit calmer, mid-week usually means fewer people, shorter waits for a spare seat and a more relaxed feel on the floor. Weekends within easy reach of Winnipeg can fill up faster than many visitors plan for.
The Resort Itself
South Beach Casino & Resort opened its doors on May 28, 2005. The property is owned by seven First Nations communities in Manitoba through the Southeast Resource Development Council Corp, and it is located on the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation Reserve, just south of Grand Beach.
Alongside the live table games area, the casino floor holds over 550 slot machines and a separate poker room. The resort side adds accommodation and additional amenities, which turns it into more of a stay-and-play destination than a quick gaming drop-in. Travel Manitoba lists it as a tourism location for visitors in the Scanterbury region.

Updates to the schedule and some promotional notes are occasionally posted on the resort Facebook page under SBCResort. When it comes to live table hours specifically, our experience is that the official website and that Facebook page are generally accurate, but picking up the phone and calling the property still tends to be the quickest way to get a firm answer.
