South Beach Casino & Resort App & Mobile: What to Keep in Mind

Top Casinos

South Beach Casino

South Beach is a land-based resort first, and it stays in its lane: the real action is on the floor in Scanterbury, not in your phone. That said, your phone still does a lot of heavy lifting around the trip. Between the mobile-friendly website, the Ocean Club loyalty program, and Manitoba’s regulated online platform PlayNow, you can plan your night, track rewards and decide when it’s actually worth driving up Highway 59.

South Beach Casino App: What Exists And What Doesn’t

Let’s deal with expectations first.

South Beach does not offer its own real-money casino app. You can’t download an app, log in, and spin “South Beach slots” from your couch. The casino positions itself as a 40,000+ sq ft, smoke-free, art-deco gaming floor with over 500–570 slot machines, a hotel and a pool, not as a mobile casino brand.

What you do get:

  • A responsive website that works on mobile, with sections for gaming, hotel, pool, dining and promotions.
  • A loyalty system (Ocean Club) that uses cards and kiosks in the casino, but is supported by email and promo messaging you’ll likely read on your phone.
  • Access to PlayNow.com for regulated online gambling in Manitoba – a separate platform run by Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, not by South Beach.

So the honest line for players is: use your phone to plan and optimise your visit; go to the property to actually gamble.

Using the South Beach Website on Your Phone

The South Beach site does a lot of the pre-trip work for you. On mobile, you can quickly check:

  • Gaming overview: confirmation that the casino has over 570 slot machines, plus live table games on specific days.
  • Hours: casino open daily from 10:00am to 3:00am, with separate hours for live tables.
  • Hotel details: rooms and suites, check-in from 4pm, check-out at 12 noon.
  • Pool info: the tropical pool with waterfall, sauna and hot tub, plus pool hours (7:00am–10:00pm, 10:00pm–11:00pm adults-only).
  • Dining: Mango’s Restaurant, Blue Dolphin Lounge and buffet details.
  • Promotions: Ocean Club offers, Ten Times Thursdays, cash-back details and seasonal promos.

You can decide, on your phone, whether this is a pure gambling run, a stay-and-play weekend, or a “swim, eat, play a little, go home” kind of day.

Ocean Club & Mobile: Where Your Phone Actually Helps

Ocean Club is the loyalty program that runs underneath almost everything on the floor. Membership is free: you visit the Ocean Club desk, get your card instantly and receive $10 Free Play just for joining.

From there:

  • Every time you play a slot machine with your card inserted, you earn Ocean Club points.
  • Those points convert into Beach Bucks, which are real cash back – 400 points equals $1, redeemable at the Ocean Club or cashier.
  • You can use Beach Bucks for cash or to offset costs on property, like dining or gift shop purchases.

Where the app vibe comes in is how you track and react:

  • You’ll see email promos (10x points, birthday Beach Bucks, draws) land straight in your inbox.
  • You can check the site from your phone before you go to see if today is a Ten Times Thursday, a draw day, or a seniors’ promo day.

So even though there’s no dedicated Ocean Club app, your phone is how you stay in sync with the offers.

PlayNow vs South Beach: Online vs On-Property

In Manitoba, online gambling lives on PlayNow.com – the same regulated platform that covers lottery, sports and casino games. South Beach itself is not an online operator.

If like to mix both:

  • PlayNow is where you’ll spin and bet from home.
  • South Beach is where you’ll go for a real resort: slots, tables, hotel, pool, food and in-person service.

There’s no shared wallet, no shared app and no direct loyalty crossover advertised between PlayNow and Ocean Club, so it’s better to treat them as separate playgrounds under the same provincial umbrella, not as one system.

Is the App Situation Good Enough?

If someone wants a full mobile casino tied directly to South Beach, then no, there’s no app for that.

But if the goal is:

  • Check everything from your phone,
  • Time your visit with the good promos,
  • Use Ocean Club smartly,
  • And keep online and offline play clearly separated,

then the current setup does what it needs to do.

South Beach keeps the gambling where it belongs, and lets your phone handle the logistics. For a regional resort 30 minutes north of Winnipeg, that’s exactly the balance most people actually want.
