Track and casino, one address
Gateway Casinos Innisfil and the Georgian Downs harness racetrack share one address: 7485 5th Side Road, Innisfil, ON L9S 3S1. The track opened in November 2001 beside Highway 400. That shared address also holds the casino, which runs at all hours on every day. Two companies split the site. Gateway Casinos & Entertainment runs the casino, and Great Canadian Entertainment runs the racetrack.
Live Standardbred racing, the harness kind, runs in June, July and August. Simulcast racing starts at 12 PM on all seven days, with no published closing time. Race dates and racing news sit on Great Canadian's Georgian Downs page at greatcanadian.com, so this guide keeps no calendar. For the track itself, the phone number is 705-726-9400; the casino answers at 705-726-6770.
Slots, tables and eTables
The casino lists more than 1,000 slot machines, both reel and video. A higher-stakes slot room holds Wheel of Fortune and $1 games. Live play runs across 22 table games, from Blackjack, Roulette, Spanish 21 and Free Bet Blackjack to Baccarat and Squeeze Baccarat. The poker-style games are Caribbean Stud Poker, Let it Ride Poker, Three Card Poker, Mississippi Stud Poker and High Card Flush. Table minimums are not published; for higher stakes, players speak to table games management.
Quartz eTables, the electronic tables, offer Roulette, Blackjack, Craps, Baccarat, Sic Bo and Ultimate Texas. Craps and Sic Bo are on the electronic list, not the live one. Poker at this casino means the table games above, not a poker room. The finder below sorts each game by where it is dealt.

Open hours, zone by zone
Day and night, all week long, the casino floor never closes. Live table games keep the same hours, and the Quartz eTables run 24/7 as well. A driver pulling off the highway in the small hours finds slots and dealt games running. No holiday schedule is published, so the place to ask is the casino itself at 705-726-6770.
Food runs on a shorter clock. The Getaway Restaurant runs 11 AM to 10 PM Sunday to Thursday, then 11 AM to midnight Friday and Saturday. Its quick-service counter, The Getaway Express, keeps going until 2 AM on all seven days. It opens at 11 AM Monday to Friday and at 9 AM on Saturday and Sunday.
Exit 85 and the 400 corridor
Exit 85 on Highway 400 is Innisfil Beach Road, County Road 21, signed for Innisfil, Thornton, Alcona. Measured on the map as a straight line, the exit junction is 0.4 km from the casino. Parking on site is free. Straight lines run 11 km to Barrie City Hall and 75 km to Toronto City Hall. These lines are shorter than any road route, and the Trackside desk gives no estimate of time behind the wheel.
Without a car, Innisfil Transit is the town's on-demand service, booked through the Uber app. It offers subsidized trips anywhere within Innisfil and to or from the Barrie South GO and Bradford GO stations. Fares are set by the town. Measured as straight lines, Barrie South GO is 8.1 km from the casino and Bradford GO is 22 km.

At the door
Entry is limited to guests aged 19 or over holding valid photo ID from a government. Those aged 21 or under must add a second ID bearing their name. Anyone trespassed or self-excluded at an Ontario gaming property is not allowed to come. Accessibility extends through the building, and wheelchairs, communication supports and accessible formats can be requested. Public areas admit guide dogs and service animals, and support persons may enter, subject to the age rules.
Inside, there are bank machines (ABMs) and currency exchange. Free drinks stop at coffee, tea and fountain pop. Joining My Club Rewards is free, and Guest Services handles sign-up once valid ID is shown. Points come to members from both slot machines and table games.
Online play in Ontario
The province's regulated online gambling market launched April 4, 2022. Private operators' online gambling has iGaming Ontario conducting and managing it, with the AGCO as regulator. For the official roster of regulated sites, the iGaming Ontario directory sits at igamingontario.ca. Playing online requires being 19+ and being physically inside Ontario at the time. OLG.ca is the province's government-run online casino.
The home page of this guide is where paid links appear, each one tagged Ad. A private online casino partner sits behind them; it is left unnamed here and can be swapped. Each of those links brings the guide a commission. The partner has no connection with Gateway, Great Canadian, OLG or the casino at Georgian Downs. Links to the casino, the track, OLG and help services are never paid.
Where to find help
- Calls to ConnexOntario on addiction, mental health or gambling are free and answered 24/7 at 1-866-531-2600; texting CONNEX to 247247 or chatting through connexontario.ca also works.
- OLG's self-exclusion program, My PlayBreak, keeps enrolled people out of every Ontario casino; enrolment is by phone at 1-800-387-0098 or through casino staff.
- One request at betguard.ca, and BetGuard shuts a person aged 19 or over out of each regulated online gambling site in the province, OLG.ca included.
