The track next door
Next door at 129 Beech Street sits Clinton Raceway, a Standardbred harness track owned and run by Clinton Raceway Inc., not Gateway. Live racing happens on Sunday afternoons in summer, and the track posts each season's race dates on clintonraceway.com. The Clinton Kinsmen and Kinette Club brought pari-mutuel wagering here in 1970. Its grandstand was rebuilt from the fall of 2024 as a modern 400-person grandstand.
Clinton Raceway's simulcast, with wagering on racetracks across North America, is not inside the casino. It is at the Huron Fish and Game Club, 278 Alma Grove, and Clinton Raceway runs it, not Gateway. Monday to Thursday it opens 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday run noon to midnight, and Sunday 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. It is open 364 days a year and closed Christmas Day.

At the door
Under Ontario law no one under 19 may enter or stay in a casino. Entry here is 19+ with valid government-issued photo ID. Anyone 21 or younger must also carry a secondary piece of name identification, so a 20-year-old needs two pieces.
People who have been trespassed or self-excluded from Gateway Casinos Clinton or any Ontario gaming property may not visit. OLG's My PlayBreak lets a person exclude themselves from Ontario casinos for 3 or 6 months or 1 to 5 years. A casino break bars entry to any Ontario casino, and the term cannot be cancelled early. Enrolment is through the OLG Support Centre at 1-800-387-0098 or staff at a casino.
Who runs the casino
Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited runs the casino at Clinton Raceway. In May 2017 Gateway took over the day-to-day operations and assets of OLG's Southwest Gaming Bundle. That bundle included the slots at Clinton Raceway. The deal is a 20-year operating agreement with OLG.
In Ontario, OLG conducts and manages casino gaming, private operators run the casinos day to day, and the AGCO regulates them. The slots at Clinton Raceway received RG Check accreditation from the Responsible Gambling Council in January 2014.
Online play in Ontario
Ontario's regulated online gambling market opened on April 4, 2022. iGaming Ontario conducts and manages it, and the AGCO regulates it. A private online casino is legal in Ontario only with AGCO registration and an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. The directory of regulated sites is at igamingontario.ca. OLG.ca is the online casino of OLG, the provincial agency.
Online play is for people 19 or older, and only while they are physically in Ontario. BetGuard, at betguard.ca, lets a person exclude themselves from every regulated Ontario online gambling site, OLG.ca included, but not from land-based casinos. This guide's paid links, marked Ad, lead to a private online casino partner for adults physically in Ontario. That partner is not OLG.ca, and the guide earns a commission from it.
