After one of my horses won, I got excited and celebrated. I was told by an employee that I was being too loud and that I could be removed from the facility. I understand that staff have to maintain order, so I immediately apologized and toned it down. However, I was also told that I was "obviously drunk," which was frustrating because I was completely sober—just excited and naturally expressive.
Despite calming down right away, security was called. Three security guards attended, and after observing the situation, I remained there for another hour without any issues. That alone should have indicated that I wasn't causing a problem.
What disappointed me most was the way I was treated afterward. When I went to cash out at the end of the night, I politely said hello, handed over my ticket, and thanked the employee when she gave me my winnings. She didn't acknowledge me at all, despite speaking normally to other customers.
Every other staff member I encountered that evening was friendly and professional. Unfortunately, this one interaction left a very negative impression and took away from what should have been a fun and memorable night. I hope management reminds staff that customer service and respectful communication matter, especially when dealing with excited patrons who are there to enjoy themselves.

Getting Started on the Slot Floor
The floor holds more than 900 slot machines, ranging from three-reel classics to multi-line video cabinets with bonus rounds, wilds, scatters, and free-spin features. Denominations begin at $0.01 per spin, so both low-stakes and high-limit players can find a suitable cabinet. New visitors should obtain a Player Rewards card first so that each spin accumulates points.
How to Begin a Slot Session
Follow these steps to start playing on any cabinet:
- Insert a Player Rewards card, then load a cash bill into the note acceptor.
- Select a credit denomination, starting from $0.01.
- Set the number of active lines and the bet per line using the on-screen panel.
- Press Spin, or use Max Bet to commit the highest available stake.
- Cash out through the TITO ticket printer and redeem the voucher at a kiosk or the cashier.
After a session ends, players keep the printed ticket until it is converted to currency, since unredeemed vouchers retain their value.
Progressive Jackpots
Progressive machines are linked to shared prize pools (local and networked) that grow with every wager placed across connected units. A jackpot can trigger on any qualifying spin, either at random or through a bonus-round activation. Players who want the larger pools should confirm the qualifying bet displayed on the cabinet, as some progressives require a set stake to be eligible.
Table Games and Electronic Stations
Twelve live tables and six electronic terminals complement the slot inventory, covering card, dice-style, and wheel formats.
Electronic Terminals
Six electronic stations replicate Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarat through digital betting screens. These terminals deliver faster rounds and on-screen prompts, allowing each player to control bet size and pace independently. Wagers are funded by inserting bills and confirmed with touch controls before each hand.
Live Tables
The live pit operates Spanish 21, Blackjack, Mississippi Stud, Free Bet, I Luv Suits, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Baccarat, Double Zero Roulette, and Triple Zero Roulette. Dealers manage betting limits that vary by table, so guests should check the posted minimum sign before taking a seat. Chips are purchased directly from the dealer using cash placed on the felt.

Walk-in seating is available on most days, though demand can fill tables during peak evenings.
To join a game at Elements Casino Flamboro, players should:
- Approach the Poker Desk and request placement on the seating board for a chosen stake.
- Confirm the buy-in amount and exchange cash for chips.
- Take the assigned seat when called and post the required blind.
Tournament entrants register at the same desk, where staff confirm the blind structure and starting stack. High-hand bonuses, splash pots, and seasonal series are posted at the desk for the current calendar.
Harness Racing and Racebook at Flamboro Downs
Live standardbred racing takes place seasonally on the on-site half-mile track, with cards typically featuring 10 to 12 races and roughly 12 to 15 minutes between posts. The on-site Racebook adds simulcast feeds from standardbred and thoroughbred tracks across North America, supported by self-serve terminals and teller windows. Programs with past performance and statistics are available on site, and racing remains subject to track conditions.
Placing a Wager
Bettors select a race and runner from the program, then choose a bet type such as Win, Place, Show, Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta, Daily Double, or Pick-3/4/5. A wager is stated in the format “Race 3, $5 to Win on #4” at a teller window or self-serve terminal. The printed ticket must be checked before leaving the window and held until winnings are claimed at a teller or terminal.
Dining and Live Entertainment
On-site dining centres on the Pavilion Restaurant, which serves casual items through to steaks and seafood, alongside buffet and grab-and-go counters. The Sun Bar and casino lounge pour cocktails, local brews, and wine near the gaming floor. Live music is scheduled every Friday and Saturday, and themed nights run across the calendar. Dinner service is typically offered Friday and Saturday from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, though hours can shift with events.
