01Running order

The running order

Slots at Gateway Casinos Clinton run from 9 AM to 1 AM, every day of the week. The hour after midnight belongs to the night before, so a Saturday on the floor ends at 1 AM Sunday. Getaway Express, the food counter, serves from 11:30 AM to 7 PM. Holiday hours are not posted, so the front desk at 519-482-7540 is the one to ask.

Live racing happens on Sunday afternoons from May to September, at the track run by Clinton Raceway Inc. Race dates and post times are on clintonraceway.com. The simulcast, also run by Clinton Raceway Inc., sits off-site at 278 Alma Grove and keeps its own hours. Pick an hour in the score box beside this section to see what is open.

    02Race Sundays

    Race Sunday, on location

    Clinton Raceway, the Standardbred harness track at 129 Beech Street, belongs to Clinton Raceway Inc., which also runs it; Gateway has no hand in it. It operates as a business separate from Gateway Casinos Clinton next door and has its own phone line, 519-482-5270. Construction of a new grandstand started in the fall of 2024, producing a modern grandstand that holds 400 people. Near the track are a playground and a skatepark.

    Race wagering at this track dates to 1970, the year the Clinton Kinsmen & Kinette Club introduced pari-mutuel betting here. On race days, every bet is placed through Clinton Raceway and never through the casino. Once the final race is over, the slots next door stay open until 1 AM.

    03Off the floor

    Off-site segment: the simulcast

    Betting on races from tracks across North America is possible through a simulcast that Clinton Raceway Inc. runs. Gateway Casinos Clinton does not house it. Instead, the simulcast sits at 278 Alma Grove, Clinton, in the Huron Fish & Game Club, a different address from Beech Street. The casino floor offers no race betting whatsoever.

    Monday to Thursday, it runs from 4 PM to 10 PM. On Friday and Saturday, it runs noon to midnight. Sunday hours are 1 PM to 7 PM. The simulcast opens 364 days a year and stays closed on Christmas Day. For questions, Clinton Raceway answers at 519-482-5270.

      A separate feed: online

      Gateway Casinos Clinton is a land-based casino, and none of its pages offers casino games online. A private online casino needs two things to operate legally in Ontario: AGCO registration and an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. The list of those sites is kept at igamingontario.ca. OLG.ca is the Ontario government's own online casino, run by OLG. Players must be 19 or older and physically in Ontario.

      The paid links in this guide sit on the home page and carry an Ad tag. They lead to a private online casino partner that has no tie to the casino, Gateway or OLG. The partner pays this guide a commission and may be replaced by another.
