Where to get help
- ConnexOntario: the number is 1-866-531-2600, or you can send CONNEX to 247247 as a text, or open a chat on connexontario.ca. The help covers problem gambling, mental health and addiction, costs nothing, stays confidential and is there at every hour of every day.
- My PlayBreak: whether you choose 3-month, 6-month or 1 to 5 year terms, every Ontario casino bars you until the break runs out. To enrol, you can ask staff on the casino floor, talk to a coordinator at a PlaySmart Centre, or ring 1-800-387-0098 for the OLG Support Centre.
- PlaySmart, OLG's responsible gambling program, has a PlaySmart Centre at every OLG casino, working with the Responsible Gambling Council. You can reach the Virtual PlaySmart Centre at 1-833-888-2306, daily from 11 am to 7 pm.
- In a crisis, the Suicide Crisis Helpline at 988 is there 24 hours a day.
Set a limit first
Before the evening starts, decide two numbers: how much money you can spend and how long you will stay. Treat that money as the cost of a night out, already spent. Keep to both numbers once you are on the floor. When either one is reached, step away and head home, even in the middle of a game. Anyone under 19 is not allowed to enter or remain in an Ontario casino.
About the Fisher Drive desk
Writing and signing this guide is a shared job, done under the name the Fisher Drive desk. That name stands for the desk as a whole, not for a person. Individual bylines appear on no page, and the site credits no named author.
Facts were checked on October 2, 2026. The sources were the casino operator's own pages, the Kawartha Downs site and the City of Peterborough transit page. For Ontario rules, the desk used the AGCO, iGaming Ontario, OLG and PlaySmart.
The young woman you meet across this guide is an invented, AI-generated illustrated character. Nobody real stands behind her, she has no casino job, and she wrote none of these pages. Every picture is a drawing from an image generator, and the wall of coloured panels and the lamplit street show no specific place. The other four follow real photos: Shorelines Casino Peterborough's front under its wave-shaped roof, its side entrance, The Buffet's dining room and the Kawartha Downs slots canopy. No forms or accounts exist; visits are counted cookie-free, an analytics provider sees your IP address and browser, and colour themes may stay in browser storage.
Quick answers
Is ConnexOntario open at night?
Yes, someone answers 1-866-531-2600 at any hour, on any day of the week. A text of CONNEX to 247247 also works, as does a chat through connexontario.ca.
How long does a My PlayBreak casino break last?
You choose 3 or 6 months, or 1 to 5 years. Once it starts, the break cannot be shortened, and entry to every casino in Ontario is barred for its length.
Who writes this guide?
The Fisher Drive desk, a collective name and not a person, writes and signs it. Bylines are absent from every page, and the site names nobody as its author.
