Mohawk Racetrack & Elements Casino Mohawk

Mohawk Racetrack, also known as Woodbine Mohawk Park is a harness racing track situated in Ontario. The company is owned by Woodbine Entertainment Group, a large corporation founded in 1881, formerly called the Ontario Jockey Club.

Officially in business since 1962, Mohawk Racetrack spreads on a 400-acre site and is made of crushed limestone. Numerous notable races took place at this location such as Pepsi North America Cup, The Mohawk Million, Metro Pace, Canadian Pacing Derby, Canadian Trotting Classic, and Maple Leaf Trot.

In addition to the excellent assortment of horse races, the property encompasses a well-equipped slot machines parlor with over 1,200 machines, more than 25 tables and 16 e-table stadiums. A couple of restaurants with delicious meals, as well as bars, are on site as well, offering guests a premium dining experience in the very heart of the action.

Gaming

Described as a place that offers North America’s best Standardbred racing, Woodbine Mohawk is the perfect choice for fans of horse racing. The official website features an abundance of handy info on seminars, tournaments, experts’ picks, and much more.

There’s a casino on site as well, called the Elements Casino, but it’s not operated by Woodbine Mohawk Park. It works as a separate unit and belongs to Great Canadian Gaming Corporation. This large company runs 25 destinations all over Canada, offering more than 18,000 slot machines, 600 live table games, top-rated restaurants, and live entertainment.

In terms of gaming machines, visitors have the chance to test their skills on more than 1,200 popular slots. Carnival Mystery, Treasures of Troy, Storm Fort Knox, Wheel of Fortune, Double Diamond, and Blazing 7s are just some of the numerous adventures that await. Elements Casino’s offer encompasses both high-stakes rooms and affordable 1-cent machines.

Moreover, there’s a noteworthy collection of table games, including Blackjack, Baccarat, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Spanish 21, Three Card Poker, and more, plus high-limit tables.

Hotel Accommodations

No hotel is found on the property, so visitors need to explore accommodation options beforehand. Holiday Inn Express & Suites Milton, Best Western Hotel, and Home2 Suites by Hilton Milton Ontario are a bit more than 8 km away from the racetrack, while Courtyard by Marriot, Best Western Halton Hills, and Western Hotel & Executive Suites are between 18-22km away.

Dining

If you are a fan of light and lively dining overlooking the track, then you will surely enjoy Mohawk Harvest Kitchen’s concept with panorama views. Trackside Bar and Patio is a place to enjoy a light snack close to the race action.

GR8 Burger Company serves a wide range of signature burgers, while Concession Stand offers an impressive selection of quick bites such as pizza, popcorn, and hot dogs. Tim Hortons, or Tim’s for short, is a famous multinational coffeehouse and a restaurant are available on site as well.

In addition to these options on racetracks, Elements Casino has Noodle Bar, located on Level 2 in the Summit High Limit Table Games Lounge. If Dim sum, fried rice, wok-fried noodles vermicelli, and wonton soup are among your favorite dishes, then this restaurant should end up on your “must-visit” list.

Entertainment/Nightlife

Aside from gaming and dining, other forms of entertainment are not available on site. Players interested in partying after action-packed gaming sessions can explore some of the many clubs and bars all over Ontario. In case visiting tourist attractions is your definition of entertainment, then Niagara Falls, national parks, museums, national galleries, and many other wonders are sure to take your breath away.

Reward Deals

There’s a program called Great Canadian Rewards, organized as a 4-tier scheme (Club, Preferred, Premium, and Summit) with all sorts of benefits. Players earn points which can later be exchanged for gaming, dining, and accommodation in each of the 12 destinations operated by the network.

Worth clarifying is that there are two types of points. Reward Points can be redeemed directly at a slot machine, whereas Comp Dollars can be used for other services such as discounts at restaurants, priority seating, room upgrade, late checkout, and so on.

There are two tier periods during a year, from April 1 to September 30, and October 1 to March 31. Tier Credits are reset at the beginning of each period, and the customer’s level is determined. Accounts with no activity for 6 consecutive months become “inactive”, which results in expired points and Comp Dollars.
