Dana Whitfield edits this independent guide to the casinos of Pickering and Ajax. It exists because Pickering Casino Resort and Casino Ajax sit 5.1 km apart, yet differ a great deal once inside.
Why the guide exists and how it is checked
The two venues share an operator, a rewards card and a minimum age of 19. Inside, they part ways. Pickering Casino Resort has live table games, a poker room and a 275-room hotel. Casino Ajax has 500 slot machines and electronic table games, set at a quarter-horse racetrack. This guide puts those differences side by side and names no winner.
Facts were checked on October 7, 2026, against the venues' own pages and official sources. Race dates come from the AGCO calendars, GO station details from Metrolinx, bus routes from the transit agencies. Temporary changes to hours or services go in a separate notice, dated the same way. The guide is not a casino and takes no bets. Only its home page carries paid links, marked Ad, and the site earns a commission.
