The Greater Toronto Constellation of Casinos
This page covers the Greater Toronto constellation on the guide's night-sky map. Its stars run from Mohawk at the western tip to Great Blue Heron in Port Perry. Each entry notes who runs the room and where it sits.
01
The Toronto resort and the Durham pair
Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto opened on June 20, 2023. It sits at the Woodbine Racetrack site in north-west Toronto, so this star shares its place with a track. Great Canadian Entertainment runs it. This guide does not list a street address for the resort.
Further east, two more stars sit in Durham. Pickering Casino Resort is at 888 Durham Live Avenue, Pickering. Casino Ajax stands at 50 Alexander's Crossing, Ajax, at the Ajax Downs racetrack.
Casino Ajax offers slots and electronic table games. Like the Toronto resort and Pickering, it is run by Great Canadian Entertainment.

Mohawk Racetrack opened on April 26, 1963, built by the Ontario Jockey Club on a 400-acre site for $3.5 million. In 2018 it became Woodbine Mohawk Park, when Woodbine's standardbred racing moved there permanently. Woodbine Entertainment owns the track, where standardbreds race Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with a usual post time of 6:30 in the evening, Eastern Time.
The 43rd Pepsi North America Cup, a $1,000,000 race for three-year-old pacers, ran there on Saturday, June 13, 2026. Eliminations came a week earlier, on June 6. Odds On Mr Mamba won by a half-length over Brandon Blvd in 1:48.1.
Elements Casino Mohawk, operated by Great Canadian Entertainment, shares the grounds at 9430 Guelph Line, Campbellville.
