Casino Ajax at Ajax Downs
This page answers the plain questions about Casino Ajax: where it sits, who runs it, what is on the floor, and what to bring to the door. It is one star in the guide's Greater Toronto constellation, a steady light beside a racetrack.
01
A racetrack room in Ajax
Casino Ajax stands at 50 Alexander's Crossing, Ajax, Ontario L1Z 2E6. It sits at the Ajax Downs racetrack. That makes it a racino, the short name for a casino at a horse racing track. Ten of the 30 rooms on this map share that trait.
Like every land-based casino in Ontario, it is conducted and managed by OLG. Day-to-day operations are contracted to a private service provider, here Great Canadian Entertainment. In this guide, Casino Ajax is one of the rooms of the Greater Toronto constellation.

Before you go
Bring proof that you are 19 or older. Ontario casinos accept only valid government-issued photo ID, and staff must check anyone who appears under 30. Casino Ajax asks for an original government-issued photo ID plus a secondary photo ID on entry.
Parking is free in the on-site outdoor lot. Smoking or vaping outside designated areas is prohibited, and so is cannabis anywhere on the property. The toll-free line is 1-866-445-3939.
