OLG Slots

Casino is a little tight for space. No service, you have to serve your own drinks. Folders coffee was gawd awful, I left it on a machine. Place seems lacking a lot.
The restaurant… producing decent food is not hard. The food is terrible. Pre packaged frozen food on every tsble. I sent my fish back as it was very mushy. At least the frozen desserts where safe. I’ve been to many ontario casinos and have never had such poor food. Put a little effort in!
I won’t be back.

I would rate this good for a slots casino, not a casino.
I rarely win at that place but that is my own fault as I am like most people and think «ONE MORE SPIN AND I WILL WIN THE JACKPOT».
I like this a lot better than more slots as they have Bacarat and Roulette (better odds of winning) a smaller amount of corse.
One thing I really dislike is that fats they only have 1 baccarat and roulette game fore a seating of about 6 or 8 (can’t remember).
As for the food the food is fair but they really don’t want you to drink more than one beer an hour which is not great but I’m pretty sure its a provincial law with gambling establishments.
Overall its a good place but always when going to a casino’s remember the amount you play is in YOUR hands not the casino’s.
SO IF YOU LOSE DONT GO GIVING A CASINO A BAD REVEIW BECAUSE YOUR AN IDIOT.
Overall I will be back! :)

Keep in mind:
1. Life is 99.9999% luck. The other HALF is a good grasp of mathematics.
2. The only room they’ll comp here is the bathroom. However, the bathrooms are nice and modern given the upgrade of a couple of years ago.
3. To enjoy yourself, come here with an open wallet and an open mind (no judgement of the muttering losers who are walking out the door as you’re walking in or of the zombie-​like trance of the players).
4. I know my limit. I’m usually stepping in it.
A small racino with a decent selection of slots (I would personally prefer more penny slots), no table games, a large parking lot with an operating shuttle, a friendly customer service desk and several self-​serve complimentary non-​alcoholic beverage stations.
Around 800 slots (compared to the 2800 or so at Woodbine) so can be busy and packed during certain times of the year especially holidays when everything else is closed. Mainly a local’s venue.
Ontario has an 85% minimum payback so expect most machines to be set at 85%. The occasional or irregular player won’t be able to tell the difference between a 92% payback and an 85% payback over a single visit. Hardcore players are better off going to Vegas or Atlantic City for the higher payback, more selection and the latest games.
The regulars seem to be able to eventually sniff out which machines give the most play time (just my opinion) so keep this in mind if you plan on contributing to my child’s public education. By the way, I thank you in advance.
If you lose, you were probably unlucky during your visit. If you win, you were probably lucky during your visit. They didn’t make the slots tight just because they knew you were coming.

Happy gaming!

I came in on a weekday night. Was seated right away & had a drink in my hand within 5 mins. Ordered breakfast & it came in about 15 mins fresh & hot. I don’t know about the negative reviews about the service but these servers were happy, pleasant & trying to make the meal a pleasurable experience. I would definately eat here again.

I’m likely not the best person to review a casino but based on my, albeit limited knowledge, I don’t find this casino enjoyable at all. We came here a couple of times this past week only because of a promotion we received in the mail (and then the follow-​up promotion we received once there the first time). Sign up at the counter was quick and the customer service was great… of course it was.
Please, tell me if I’m missing something but all I saw was a room full of slots… and not a very big room at that (compared to other casinos I’ve been to). The only other thing I saw was a restaurant/​bar area. Is that all there is to this place?
Of course, as with any casino, it was packed to the rafters and it always amazes me to see people straddled over two chairs with wads of 20’s in their hands feeding, not one, but two machines a seemingly endless supply. I don’t get it but maybe it’s just my age… no wait, some of these people have a good 30 years on me! Wait a minute! Aren’t you on a fixed income lady? Oh, who am I to judge. ;)
The last time I played a slot machine it was in Seneca Casino (US) and I noticed two main differences: 1. The machines at Seneca seem to track and display your winnings so much better and 2. In the States, they don’t care if you know your limit OR if you play within it.

This if for the OLG Ajax Downs casino.
I will just review the restaurant, as I could not spend much time gambling today (but will return for that).
One odd thing about getting there — the nearest parking is a long walk. Could have been planned better.
The restaurant is pleasant, with nice full-​length windows to look out on the racetrack, a great view with a few horses exercising.
The food is okay, though I can never understand why any chef thinks frozen French fries are acceptable to eat.
Service, unfortunately, was worse than poor. Staff is apparently untrained, same as at other OLG casinos, where the attitude seems to be that if the food or most of it somehow gets to you and not too much of it is spilled or forgotten, and you don’t mind eating your soup and cold main course at the same time, the customer should be satisfied. «I don’t know» should be an acceptable answer to questions about the food, and «I’m new here» should excuse any other mistakes a waiter makes.
In this case we ordered 2 soups and 2 main courses after struggling with the waitress’s total lack of understanding of the menu. So we were both having the same thing. After a long, long time, one of the soups was delivered by a different waitress. When we asked about the other soup, she explained that she had seen the one soup sitting in the kitchen and knew it was for our table so brought it out. Never a thought that there were two of us. Then she chatted in a corner with other staff, forgetting us.
After another long wait, the other soup arrived with the 2 main courses. I mean, give me a break. When asked to keep my companion’s main course warm until he ate his soup, the plate disappeared until much later, when it came out cold. A similar experience to the Blue Heron restaurant — are they conspiring against us?
This restaurant was an ordeal I do not want to repeat. OLG casino restaurants, all of you, please train your wait staff in the basics of food service so I don’t have to go through this every bliddy time.

Weekday SLOTS alway makes me feel Young & Alive.
At least in this environment, I’m probably 99% younger than core patrons.
Free Self-​serve Beverages? (Coffee, Tea, Fountain Pop only)

My Lunch-​special Friend found the Penny-​special Slot.
High roller indeed. :P
CDN/​USD @1.01
On par with Banks without the line-​ups on Weekdays.
No Bank Card required either if I’m correct.
Whole place sounds like pinballs, if you’re nostalgic.
No coin sounds since machines dispense ticket instead.
I miss the sound-​o-​money.: (

What is the best place to have a bathroom break, relax a little and even have a free beverage and open ²⁴⁄₇?
OLG Slots at Ajax Down is a really good choice.
On a weekday afternoon, the place is half empty. aside from the low roller section … packed full of people…
While sipping my free Lipton tea in a mug, I was circling around looking for the perfect 1 cent machine to try my luck. I just could not decide as usual.
Lady luck was on my side? or my Lucky Unilocal friend on my side? I won $ 20 after 2 pulls so off I cashed out and used the winning money for food and Unilocal some more!
Now aside from visiting libraries, yoga studios and food related venues. I can start Unilocaling casinos and slots!

Oh how much I hate this casino. And I loves me some casinos!
The entrance is beautiful and it’s nicely located out of the main part of town. Parking can be an issue but they have a shuttle that goes around the parking lot for those rainy days that you can’t be bothered to walk to the doors.
But when you get INTO the casino, its a huge let down. The place is packed with machines and even after the expanded it, it’s still far too crowded. It’s hard to get onto a machine at just about any time of the day or night (we’ve gone during the middle of the day during the week and during the middle of the night on weekends, its always the same) and the machines are so closely packed together that its hard to move between them to make your way through the casino.
I don’t know who’s bright idea it was to pick machines, but whoever did it at this location picked far too many high roller machines. $ 5 a spin? I think not. There’s an entire area of the casino that sits empty because everyone wants to pay penny, nickle, dime and quarter slots (and this high roller area is a sizable area too).
The complimentary drinks are nice but I do find that the staff stare you down. This could be because I’m 26 and look like I’m 19 but still… I’m inside, clearly I’m legal so leave me alone to gamble. The bathrooms are gorgeous as well, but it really doesn’t make up for repeated lacklustre gambling experiences. I’ll spend the extra money and time heading up to the Blue Heron for better machine selection and more room to move around.
Oh and for the record: compared with other casinos, I’ve had decent luck here. I walk out with the same amount of money I came in with ¼ times. Not bad…

This is not really a Casino, just a large venue with slot machines. It is a very pleasant modern building, with an attractive layout and restaurant. It is extremely crowded on weekends but very accessible on weekdays.
There is a nice array of slot machines for a wide range of ‘budgets’. There are complimentary non-​alcoholic drinks, and the service is very good.
I have often read negative reviews of Casinos based on the reviewer having lost a bit of money. That is not and should not be the standard.
This, overall is a pleasant environment, with a bunch of nice players (with a few exceptions), and really accessible from Toronto. They are a bit skimpy on comps (it is the OLG), and players can only guess at the payback percentages of the slot machines. Ontario and the OLG are one of the few casino operators in North America that do not ‘tout’ what the payback is on slots.
