1999 Gaming at the site
More Than a Casino

Casino gaming and more than 50 years of racing history

Flamboro Casino is a land-based gaming and entertainment destination located at 967 ON-5 in Dundas, within the City of Hamilton, Ontario. The property combines a modern casino floor with the historic Flamboro Downs harness-racing venue, creating a destination where casino gaming, horse racing, dining, sports wagering and live entertainment operate at the same location.

The racing side of the property has a much longer history than the casino itself. Flamboro Downs opened on April 9, 1975 and developed into one of Ontario's established Standardbred racing venues. Gaming was introduced at the property in 1999, adding casino-style entertainment to a site that was already well known for harness racing in the Hamilton area.

Today, the destination forms part of the FlamboroCasino group operated within Great Canadian Entertainment's Ontario portfolio. Unlike a conventional stand-alone casino, Flamboro retains its racing identity while offering a substantial indoor gaming floor and additional entertainment services throughout the week.

The property also includes a sports betting kiosk, allowing visitors to place in-person wagers on sporting events without the need for a separate sportsbook lounge. This service has been available at Flamboro as part of Great Canadian's expansion of retail sports betting in Ontario.

Away from the gaming floor, visitors can eat at The Eatery, which offers à-la-carte choices including burgers, pizza, Pad Thai and other casual dishes. Great Canadian Rewards Comp Dollars can also be used there.

History

From racetrack to gaming destination

Flamboro Downs opened on April 9, 1975 as a purpose-built half-mile Standardbred racetrack. Historical accounts from Standardbred Canada record an opening-night attendance of more than 6,500 people, considerably more than the facility had originally been designed to accommodate comfortably.

The track was closely associated with Canadian businessman and horse-racing figure Charles Juravinski, who played a central role in its development. Flamboro later became known for major harness-racing events including the Confederation Cup.

Casino gaming arrived in 1999. Great Canadian Entertainment states that the gaming facility has generated municipal gaming-host payments to the City of Hamilton through OLG since that year, reaching a cumulative milestone of $100 million in 2023.

Gaming Framework

Ontario-regulated gaming

Flamboro Casino belongs to OLG's West Greater Toronto Area gaming bundle. Ontario Gaming West GTA Limited Partnership is identified by OLG as the service provider for the bundle that includes Flamboro, Brantford, Mohawk and Grand River.

Under Ontario's land-based gaming framework, OLG conducts and manages commercial casino gaming while private service providers are responsible for day-to-day operations under their operating agreements.

Casino gaming in Ontario is independently regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. AGCO establishes regulatory standards, registration requirements and compliance controls for casino gaming and gaming-service providers operating in the province.

Casino Experience

A Gaming Floor Built Around Choice

Flamboro Casino brings several styles of casino gaming together in one destination. The property offers more than 900 slot machines, 12 live table games, electronic table gaming, high-limit play and an on-site sports betting kiosk.

The result is a gaming floor that works for different types of visitors. Guests can spend their time entirely on slot machines, move between automated and live-dealer formats, choose higher-limit play, or add sports wagering to their visit. Great Canadian Rewards is also integrated into the wider casino experience.

900+ Slot Machines
12 Live Table Games
5 Core Gaming Formats
Slot Gaming

More Than 900 Machines

Slots make up the largest part of the casino's gaming offer. The Elements brand promotes play ranging from penny wagers to higher-limit machines, combining newer titles with familiar classic-style games.

Live Gaming

12 Live Table Games

Guests who prefer a dealer-led experience can choose from the property's live table area. Flamboro operates a dedicated schedule for table gaming, with limits and game availability adjusted according to operating demand.

Electronic Gaming

Electronic Table Games

Electronic table games provide another way to experience traditional casino-style play. Great Canadian describes the format as combining table-game action with the simplicity and individual interface of a gaming terminal.

Higher Stakes

High-Limit Gaming

Flamboro is also listed as offering high-limit slot and table gaming. This gives visitors looking for higher-stake play an option beyond the standard gaming floor without changing venues.

Sports Betting

Sportsbook Kiosk

Sports wagering is available through an on-site sportsbook kiosk. It gives visitors the option to place sports bets during the same visit without the property operating a separate full-scale sportsbook lounge.

Player Rewards

Great Canadian Rewards

Flamboro Casino participates in Great Canadian Rewards. Members can use their card across participating Great Canadian destinations and access account balances through the member portal, mobile app, supported gaming machines or Guest Services.

One overview, separate detailed gaming sections

This section gives visitors the overall structure of the casino floor. Slot machines, live table games, individual table limits and game-specific information are covered separately so each part of the gaming experience can be explained in detail without repeating the same information.

Sports Betting

In-Person Sports Betting at Flamboro

Flamboro Casino offers in-person sports betting through a Great Canadian Sportsbook kiosk located within the existing gaming area. It is designed as an additional betting option inside the casino rather than as a separate full-service sportsbook lounge.

Guests can use the kiosk to browse available sports and events, select a market, enter a wager and print a betting ticket. No online account is required to place a wager at the kiosk, making the process suitable for visitors who want to add sports betting to a regular casino visit.

Great Canadian introduced in-person sports betting at Flamboro in October 2022. The property was included among the Ontario destinations equipped with sportsbook kiosks inside their gaming areas, while other Great Canadian properties received dedicated sportsbook lounges.

On-site betting kiosk
Funding

Cash-Funded Kiosk Bets

Sports wagers placed at Great Canadian betting kiosks are funded with cash. A winning betting slip can also be inserted when starting a new transaction.

Betting Range

From $0.10 to $500

Great Canadian lists a minimum kiosk wager of $0.10 and a maximum kiosk wager of $500. Limits can differ from bets placed through a casino cashier or over-the-counter service.

Bet Slip

Ticket-Based Betting

After choosing the event, market and wager amount, the kiosk prints a physical ticket. Great Canadian states that winning sports bets can be paid after the wager settles, providing an in-person alternative to online sportsbook accounts.

How It Works

Placing a Bet at the Kiosk

The Great Canadian kiosk process is built around a short, self-service transaction.

01

Fund the Transaction

Insert cash or an eligible winning bet slip into the sportsbook kiosk.

02

Build the Bet

Browse available sports and events, select the game and choose the available market or wager type.

03

Print the Ticket

Enter the wager amount, review the potential return and complete the bet. The kiosk then prints the betting ticket.

Kiosk, not a dedicated sportsbook lounge

Flamboro Casino is officially listed as a Sports Betting Kiosk destination. Great Canadian does not currently describe the property as having a dedicated sportsbook lounge with its own seating area, bar, multiple screens and separate sportsbook facilities. Sports betting should therefore be viewed as an additional service within the casino's existing gaming environment.

Your First Visit

What to Expect When You Arrive

A first visit to Flamboro Casino does not require a complicated check-in process or advance casino reservation. The property combines the casino floor, Guest Services, dining, sports betting and Flamboro Downs racing at the same destination, so you can decide how much of the venue you want to experience once you arrive.

Great Canadian Rewards membership is optional for a regular visit, but first-time guests who want to participate in member promotions, earn rewards or use eligible member benefits can join for free online or at Guest Services.

Arrival

Free Parking

Complimentary parking is available at the property.

Casino

Open 7 Days

The Flamborodestination is listed as always open, seven days a week.

Rewards

Free Membership

Great Canadian Rewards can be joined online or at Guest Services.

Age

19+ Gaming

Casino gaming and Great Canadian Rewards participation are for eligible guests aged 19 or older.

01
Arrival

Park and Enter the Property

Flamboro Casino is located at 967 ON-5 in Dundas, Ontario. Complimentary parking is available, so visitors arriving by car do not need to arrange paid casino parking before their visit.

Once inside, you can head directly toward the casino gaming areas or visit Guest Services first if you want assistance, have questions about the property or want to register for Great Canadian Rewards.

02
Optional Stop

Visit Guest Services

You do not need to treat Guest Services as a mandatory casino registration desk. It is there for visitors who need information or assistance and is also the in-person registration point for Great Canadian Rewards.

If this is your first visit and you want to understand current offers, Rewards membership, available balances or property services, Guest Services is the most useful place to stop before beginning your visit.

03
Optional Membership

Decide Whether to Join Great Canadian Rewards

Great Canadian Rewards is free to join and is available at FlamboroCasino Flamboro. You can register before arriving through the online sign-up process or complete your application in person at Guest Services.

For in-person registration, Great Canadian instructs guests to bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Membership is available to eligible guests aged 19 or older who are not self-excluded, trespassed or otherwise prohibited from participating.

Once registered, the Rewards card can be used at participating Great Canadian destinations. Members can use it while playing and can access eligible promotions, Slot Play, Comp Dollars and other program benefits.

04
Gaming Floor

Choose How You Want to Play

The casino offers more than 900 slot machines together with live table games, electronic table gaming and higher-limit options. You do not need to follow a fixed route through the gaming floor and can choose whichever format suits your visit.

Live table games operate on a separate schedule from the general casino. Flamboro currently lists live table hours from 11:00 AM to 1:00 AM Sunday through Thursday and 11:00 AM to 3:00 AM Friday and Saturday.

If you prefer sports wagering, an on-site Great Canadian Sportsbook kiosk is also available within the casino environment.

05
Take a Break

Eat at The Eatery

You do not need to leave the property when you want a break from gaming. The Eatery at Flamboro Casino serves casual à-la-carte food, including burgers, pizza, Pad Thai and other menu items.

Great Canadian Rewards Comp Dollars are accepted at The Eatery for eligible members.

Complimentary non-alcoholic beverages are also offered on the gaming floor 24 hours a day, although selections and availability can vary.

06
Beyond the Casino

Add Racing or Live Entertainment

One of the main differences between Flamboro and a conventional stand-alone casino is the presence of Flamboro Downs at the same destination.

Live harness racing is currently scheduled on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, with first race post time listed at 6:25 PM. Simulcasting is available seven days a week from noon, and self-service racing wagering is available daily from 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM.

Visitors coming on a Friday can also check the property's current live music schedule. Events and racing dates can change, so it is worth checking the official schedule before planning the entertainment portion of a visit.

Useful for First-Time Guests

You do not need to plan every part of the visit in advance

For a simple first visit, arrive at the property, use the complimentary parking and enter the casino. Visit Guest Services only if you need help or want to join Great Canadian Rewards, then choose between slots, electronic gaming, live tables or the sportsbook kiosk. Dining, racing and scheduled entertainment can be added depending on how long you plan to stay.

Slot machine gaming floor at Flamboro Casino
900+ Slot Machines
Slots & Gaming Machines

More Than 900 Ways to Play

Slot gaming is one of the largest parts of the experience at Flamboro Casino. Great Canadian lists more than 900 slot machines at the property, giving visitors a substantial gaming floor that can support anything from a short casual visit to an evening focused entirely on slots.

Flamborodescribes its slot offering as ranging from penny-level wagers through to high-limit play. That means the floor is not built around a single spending level: lower-denomination machines are available for visitors who prefer smaller wagers, while higher-limit options are also part of the Flamboro gaming offer.

The wider Flamboroslot portfolio is presented as a mix of newer releases and familiar classic-style machines. Because the selection on a casino floor can change as machines are added, removed or rotated, this guide does not present an unverified fixed list of individual slot titles.

Scale

900+ Machines

Flamboro is officially listed with more than 900 slot machines, making slots the broadest individual gaming category at the property.

Low Stakes

Penny-Level Play

Flamboropromotes slot wagers starting at penny level, giving lower-stake players access to the slot floor without needing to begin at premium limits.

Higher Stakes

High-Limit Slots

Great Canadian also lists high-limit slot gaming at Flamboro Casino, providing an option for guests who prefer larger wagers than those found on the standard slot floor.

Variety

New and Classic Styles

Flamborodescribes its machine selection as combining current releases with familiar classics, allowing guests to move between newer cabinet styles and more traditional slot formats.

What the Slot Floor Is Like

Suitable for a slots-only visit

A visitor does not need to be interested in live tables, racing or sports betting to make use of the property. With more than 900 machines available, the slot floor is large enough to function as a destination in its own right.

The wide wager range is particularly useful for first-time visitors because it allows players to choose a machine that better matches their preferred budget. Someone looking for lower-cost play can focus on penny-level options, while guests seeking higher stakes can look for designated high-limit gaming.

Machine availability is not static. Casinos regularly update their floors, and Great Canadian does not currently provide a complete machine-by-machine inventory for Flamboro. For that reason, specific titles, manufacturers, jackpots or exact denominations should be confirmed on-site rather than assumed from older third-party lists.

Lower-denomination options

Flamboroadvertises slot wagering from penny level.

Higher-limit play

Flamboro is officially listed as offering high-limit slots.

Modern and classic machines

The Flamboroslot portfolio includes newer machines alongside traditional favourites.

Rewards-compatible play

Great Canadian Rewards members can insert their Rewards card into eligible slot machines while playing.

Current Machine Selection

Individual slot titles can change

Great Canadian currently confirms the size, wager range and general variety of the Flamboroslot offering, but does not publish a complete current list of every machine installed specifically at Flamboro. Exact games should therefore be treated as subject to change unless confirmed directly by the property.

Live Table Games

Live Dealer Games, Real Limits and a Defined Schedule

Flamboro Casino operates a dedicated live table games area with 12 tables. The property offers Blackjack, roulette and several poker-style table games, with minimum bets starting from $5 on selected games.

Unlike the general casino floor, live tables follow their own operating schedule. Game selection and minimums can also change according to business levels and player demand, so not every table is guaranteed to be open at every moment.

Before You Visit

How Much Do You Need to Sit Down?

Flamboro publishes unusually detailed table minimum information for a regional casino. General low-limit live tables start from $5, while individual games have their own published starting points.

The most important distinction for blackjack is not only the minimum bet, but also the payout structure. During the published Monday-to-Thursday set-limit schedule, a $15 blackjack table pays 6:5 on a natural blackjack, while a $25 table pays 3:2.

Table minimums are not guaranteed permanently. Great Canadian states that minimums are determined by business needs and game demand for the day.

Availability Changes

Check the tables when you arrive

Great Canadian explicitly notes that some table games are available only by advance request. Daily game selection, minimum bets and the number of operating tables are determined by business volume, player demand and operational needs. Published opening and closing times may also change.

Plan Your Visit

Admission, ID Requirements & Opening Hours

Before visiting Flamboro Casino, it is important to separate three things: access to the casino gaming floor, access to non-gaming areas, and the operating hours of individual gaming services. The property operates seven days a week, but live table games follow a separate schedule.

Casino Entry

19+ for the Gaming Floor

Great Canadian Entertainment prohibits anyone under 19 from entering or accessing a casino or gaming floor. This applies to casino gaming areas at Flamboro Casino regardless of whether the guest intends to gamble.

Minimum Age

19 Years or Older

Persons under 19 cannot enter or pass through the casino gaming floor.

Primary Identification

Original Government-Issued Photo ID

If identification is requested, the primary ID must be valid, government-issued and show both your photograph and date of birth.

Digital Copies

Bring the Physical Document

Great Canadian states that photographs and photocopies of identification are not accepted for casino entry.

Secondary ID

A Second Piece May Be Requested

A secondary piece of identification may also be requested. It must at minimum show the same full name as the primary government-issued photo ID.

Opening Hours

Venue and Tables Use Different Schedules

The official FlamboroCasino page describes its Ontario locations as always open, seven days a week. That does not mean every individual service operates around the clock.

Flamboro Casino
Always Open

Seven days a week

Live Table Game Hours

Sunday – Thursday
11:00 AM – 1:00 AM
Friday – Saturday
11:00 AM – 3:00 AM

Great Canadian notes that table opening and closing times can change according to operational demand. Visitors coming specifically for live tables should therefore check the current schedule before travelling.

30
Identification Policy

Great Canadian IDs Guests Under 30

Great Canadian's current Code of Conduct states that it IDs guests under 30. Acceptable original government-issued identification may be requested at entry or during the visit, and guests should be prepared to provide a secondary piece of identification if requested.

Visitors Under 19

Can a Minor Visit Just to Eat?

The answer depends on where the restaurant or hospitality space is located. Great Canadian makes a clear distinction between the gaming floor and non-gaming areas.

Gaming Floor

No person under 19 may enter or access the gaming floor at any time.

Non-Gaming Hospitality Areas

Great Canadian's general Family Policy permits minors in certain non-gaming entertainment and hospitality areas, including food-primary restaurants that are not located on the gaming floor, subject to age-specific supervision rules.

The Eatery at Flamboro

The official Flamboro destination page does not currently state that The Eatery is an all-ages restaurant or confirm that it can be reached without entering a 19+ gaming area. A visitor planning to bring someone under 19 should therefore confirm access directly with the property before travelling.

Under 19

No Gaming-Floor Access

This restriction applies even when the person does not intend to gamble.

Identification

No Photo of Your ID

Bring the original physical government-issued identification.

Casino

Open Every Day

The Flamborodestination is advertised as always open, seven days a week.

Live Tables

Separate Hours

Live dealer gaming does not operate continuously with the rest of the venue.

The Eatery at Flamboro Casino
The Eatery À-la-carte dining
Dining at Flamboro

Take a Break at The Eatery

The Eatery is the on-site dining option specifically listed for Flamboro Casino. Rather than a formal fine-dining restaurant or buffet, it follows a casual à-la-carte format designed for guests who want a meal or a break during their visit.

Great Canadian highlights burgers, Pad Thai and pizza among the available choices, together with other à-la-carte items. This makes The Eatery a practical option for visitors who want something more substantial than a snack without leaving the casino destination.

Great Canadian Rewards Comp Dollars are accepted here, so eligible members can use accumulated Comp Dollars toward participating dining purchases by presenting their Rewards card and government-issued photo identification.

Burgers

Burgers are one of the specific menu categories Great Canadian lists for The Eatery at Flamboro.

Format

À-La-Carte

The Eatery is presented as an à-la-carte dining option rather than an all-you-can-eat buffet.

How It Fits Into Your Visit

Casual Dining Without Leaving the Destination

The Eatery is intended to complement the wider Flamboro visit rather than operate as a destination-style fine-dining restaurant. The menu structure and official description point to a casual format suited to lunch, dinner or a break between gaming sessions.

For a first-time visitor, this means there is no need to leave the property simply to find a full meal. The Eatery gives casino guests an in-house dining option before returning to slots, live tables, sports betting or other parts of the Flamboro experience.

The official Great Canadian restaurant directory currently marks The Eatery at Flamboro as a 19+ dining venue. Visitors should therefore not assume it is an all-ages restaurant simply because it serves casual food.

Great Canadian instructs members to present their Great Canadian Rewards card together with government-issued photo ID when redeeming Comp Dollars at participating restaurants.

Live Music & Entertainment

Friday Nights Bring Live Music to Flamboro

Flamboro Casino adds live entertainment to the casino experience every Friday night. The official schedule features rotating performers, giving visitors a reason to stay beyond the gaming floor and turn a regular casino visit into a fuller evening out.

Live music is currently scheduled from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM on Fridays. The lineup changes from week to week and includes solo performers, duos and local live acts rather than one permanent house band.

Great Canadian publishes the current performer schedule in advance, but both artist lineups and event times are subject to change. Guests planning a visit specifically around the music should check the current event calendar before travelling.

Friday Night Experience

Entertainment That Complements the Casino

The Friday music program is not presented as a separate theatre show or large ticketed concert. It is part of the wider FlamboroCasino Flamboro atmosphere, allowing guests to combine live music with slots, live tables, dining and other on-site activities during the same visit.

This makes Friday one of the most complete nights to visit the property. A guest can arrive for casino gaming or dinner, stay for the scheduled performance and continue using the casino after the live music begins.

The entertainment lineup is updated regularly, so the experience changes depending on the date. Great Canadian publishes upcoming performers directly on the official Flamboro event page.

Flamboro Downs Racing

A Real Harness-Racing Track Beside the Casino

Flamboro is different from a conventional stand-alone casino because the property also includes Flamboro Downs, an active Standardbred harness-racing venue that has operated since 1975. Racing is not a themed casino attraction here: it is a separate, functioning part of the destination with live race nights, simulcasting and pari-mutuel wagering.

Great Canadian presents the racetrack and Flamboro Casino as connected experiences at the same destination. Visitors can come specifically for the races, specifically for casino gaming, or combine both during a single visit.

What Happens at Flamboro Downs?

Flamboro Downs is a Standardbred harness-racing track. In harness racing, horses compete while pulling a lightweight two-wheeled sulky driven by a driver, making the racing experience visually and structurally different from conventional Thoroughbred racing.

Great Canadian describes Flamboro Downs as one of Canada's established Standardbred racing facilities and notes that the track has operated since 1975. The venue also holds the world record for three-year-old pacers on a half-mile track.

On live race nights, visitors can watch races at the track and place pari-mutuel wagers. On non-live-racing days, simulcast racing allows guests to follow and wager on races taking place at other tracks.

Casino + Racing

Can You Do Both in One Visit?

Yes. This is one of the defining features of the Flamboro destination. Great Canadian specifically promotes the property as a place where guests can experience both the racetrack and Flamboro Casino.

Because the casino and racing operations share the same destination, visitors do not need to choose between a racing evening and a casino visit. The two experiences can be combined according to the day's racing schedule and the visitor's own plans.

01

Arrive Before First Post

On a live racing day, arriving before the published first post time gives you time to park, enter the property and get oriented before the first race begins.

02

Watch the Live Racing

Spend the early part of the visit at Flamboro Downs, watch the live harness races and use the available pari-mutuel wagering services if desired.

03

Move Into the Casino

After or between races, continue the evening with the casino's 900+ slots, electronic games, sportsbook kiosk or live tables, depending on their operating hours.

04

Add Dinner at The Eatery

The Eatery provides an on-site casual dining option, so a racing and casino visit can include a meal without leaving the property.

Before Planning Your Visit

Racing dates are not the same as casino hours

Flamboro Casino and Flamboro Downs share the same destination, but they operate on different schedules. The casino may be open when there is no live racing, while simulcasting and wagering services have their own hours. Great Canadian also states that race dates are subject to AGCO approval and can change, so visitors should check the current race calendar before travelling specifically for live racing.
