Caesars Windsor Casino and Betting

What This Place Actually Is

Caesars Windsor sits at 377 Riverside Drive East in Windsor, Ontario, right on the edge of the Detroit River, facing Michigan. That border location shapes the whole operation. Traffic comes from Windsor, the rest of Ontario, and a steady stream of visitors crossing over from Detroit.

The ownership and oversight model is split. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) owns the gaming assets and is responsible for what happens on the casino floor. Day-to-day operations are handled by Caesars Entertainment Windsor Limited, which OLG designates as the service provider. This structure has been in place since the original temporary casino opened in 1994. Three decades under the same basic model says a lot about how settled the regulatory setup is.

In May 2025, after running the Windsor Gaming Bundle procurement, OLG chose Caesars Entertainment Windsor Limited again under a new operating agreement of roughly 20 years. There was also an interim extension that carried the property through March 2026. For anyone playing here, the takeaway is simple enough: the casino is operating under long-term, provincial oversight and is not in a short-term or experimental phase.

The Gaming Floor - What You Actually Find

Most of the space on the main floor is taken up by slots. Rows of machines sit in the middle and along the edges, and that is where a lot of casual play happens. Table games - blackjack, roulette, baccarat and some additional live variants - are grouped in their own pit area. For anyone who prefers to avoid dealing with a live dealer, there are electronic table games with a more self-directed pace.

The poker room is a separate environment with its own tables, seating, and dealer team. Both cash games and tournaments run here, but schedules change and formats rotate. Our team usually recommends checking in with the property first if poker is your main reason for coming. You can call 800-991-7777 or review current information at caesars.com/caesars-windsor.

Sports betting sits right off the main floor, without needing to cross half the building. There are self-service kiosks for quick straight bets or parlays, and a staffed counter for anyone who wants a bit of help, bigger tickets, or some clarification before they put money down. Markets typically include NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB, UFC and more, aligned with the Ontario sports betting rules.

Outside of gaming, Caesars Windsor runs as a full destination property. There is on-site hotel accommodation, several dining outlets at different price points, and an entertainment and convention centre. In practice, that means you can treat it as a multi-day stay rather than a single-evening visit.

How the Sportsbook Works

Sports bets are handled in Canadian dollars only. The minimum stake is $5. If you are not enrolled in Caesars Rewards, the bet cap is $200 per ticket. Members of Caesars Rewards can go up to $1,000 per ticket, which is one of the more tangible perks the program offers on-site.

Winning tickets from in-person sportsbook wagers are paid out at the Main Cashier Cage. Tickets generated through an associated online channel are a different story: they must be settled online and are not cashable at the cage. If you move between online and in-person betting, that separation is worth keeping in mind.

At the kiosks, the flow is straightforward:

1. Head to the sportsbook area or follow the floor signage until you see the terminals.
2. Scroll through the markets on the screen and pick your sport.
3. Select the event and bet type you want from the on-screen menu.
4. Enter how much you want to stake - minimum is $5 CAD.
5. Confirm the wager details, then wait for the system to print your ticket.
6. Hold onto that ticket. Losing it can make collecting any win slow and awkward.
7. Once the event is graded and you have a winner, bring the ticket to the Main Cashier Cage.

If you are dealing with props, parlays, or just feel unsure about rules, the staffed counter can walk you through things. Counter staff handle questions, explain house rules, and can help check the status of a ticket.
