About us

At Ajax Downs Casino, we pride ourselves on being a unique entertainment destination that combines live quarter horse racing with over 800 exciting slot machines under our OLG slots facility known as Casino Ajax. Our venue provides an immersive experience for visitors from Southern Ontario and beyond, offering easy highway access, complimentary parking, and casual dining options.

As part of the provincially regulated Great Canadian / OLG ecosystem, we prioritize responsible gaming practices, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all patrons. Our on-site amenities cater to diverse needs, making us an ideal spot for both local and international visitors seeking entertainment, relaxation, or simply some thrilling racing action.

Our story began in 1968-1969 as Picov Downs, with our transformation into Ajax Downs taking place in 2006 when we introduced modern OLG slots. Since then, we have continued to evolve through expansions and partnerships with Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (now Great Canadian Entertainment), Brookfield Business Partners, and Clairvest.

At the heart of what makes us special is our commitment to fair gaming practices under strict regulatory oversight from OLG and AGCO. Our dedicated staff provide exceptional customer service, while responsible gambling messaging encourages patrons to set personal limits and maintain a healthy relationship with gaming.

Whether you're an avid horse racing enthusiast or simply looking for some casual entertainment, we invite you to experience the unique blend of thrills and relaxation that Ajax Downs Casino offers.
