My understanding of this casino is that the table minimums mostly start at $15CDN in the evenings on the weekends, although my stay was earlier on a Friday, so that may be why there were a number of $10 tables. There is an extremely large non-smoking area on the upper floor of the casino with lots of machine games and about ten tables, but none of the tables were in operation while I was there (light to moderate crowd). The two dealers who worked our table were both very friendly. At that time, I was easily able to find a chair at a $10 CDN blackjack table. I spent about two hours at Casino Niagara on Friday, April 21st in the early afternoon.
