Great Canadian Casino opening hours run 24/7.
Payouts depend on the amount and the game:
Wins large enough to trigger tax reporting go through the cashier, and staff handle the paperwork on the spot.
Great Canadian Casino capacity covers a large footprint, one of the bigger gaming floors in the province, split across separate zones for slots, tables, poker, and the high-limit room.

Available games shift day to day, so check the floor list before driving over if you're after a specific stake level.
If you're playing a big single bet and want the payout fast, stick to the machines or tables under the reporting threshold. The $5 electronic tables are the easiest way to test a game before sitting at a $10-15 live table, and nobody's going to rush you off one while you decide. For poker, don't bother showing up cold for 1/3 or 2/5 on a Friday nightю.
