Answered by the First Visit deskChecked October 2, 2026

What do I bring?

PHOTO ID

The door at Elements Casino Brantford needs original government photo ID, the actual physical card. A second ID can also be requested.

What age gets you in?

19+

Under Ontario rules, casinos are 19+. Elements Casino Brantford asks for ID from any guest who could pass for under 30.

When is it open?

ALWAYS

Elements Casino Brantford stays open around the clock, all 7 days. Live tables, craps and poker run on separate schedules.

Lowest posted table?

Low-limit tables start at $5. Minimums change with demand on the day.

Where is it?

40 ICOMM DR

40 Icomm Drive, Brantford. Parking is complimentary.

What to bring

Original, physical government-issued photo ID is the only kind accepted at the door. A photo of the card on a phone will be turned away. Great Canadian checks ID whenever a guest seems under 30. Staff can also ask for a second piece, so packing two is wise.

For Brantford Casinos, Plain Answers, the number to remember is 19. Ontario law keeps a person under 19 out of casinos, both at the door and once inside. Lottery tickets by themselves carry an 18+ limit, so the 19 rule concerns casinos and online casino play. Every visitor is held to it, including one who tags along with an older friend.

Entering Elements Casino Brantford

Will I get in?

Under 19: no entry to the casino or the gaming floor, at any time.
Minors may not enter any restaurant or amenity on the gaming floor, even with a parent or guardian.
Anyone who seems younger than 30 can expect an ID check from Great Canadian staff.
Bring original, physical government-issued photo ID, not a copy; staff at Elements Casino Brantford can also ask for another card.
With a casino break set in My PlayBreak, Brantford and all other Ontario casinos stay closed to that person for the full term.

Getting in the door

Nobody younger than 19 is let into the casino or onto its gaming floor, at any hour.

Elements Casino Brantford admits guide dogs and other service animals to its public areas. If an animal's role is not obvious, staff may ask for documentation. Guests can use assistive devices of their own, and support persons may come in too, as long as they meet the age rules.

Getting in, step by step

What to play first

The casino has 550+ slot machines and electronic table games. Slots take wagers from a penny up to high limits, and there are high-limit slots and table games. Electronic table games stand in a stadium-style setting. The casino describes them as table games played with the ease of a slot machine.

Live table games number 34. They include blackjack, roulette, craps, Mississippi Stud and Ruyi Baccarat. Some blackjack tables add side bets, optional extra wagers placed beside the main bet, such as Perfect Pairs and Bust It. Posted starting limits are $5 at low-limit tables, $20 at novelty pokers, $25 for blackjack and Spanish 21, and $50 for baccarat.

These minimums are set by business needs and game demand on the day, so they can change. Craps runs every day from noon to midnight. A sportsbook kiosk on the floor takes sports bets.

How the poker room works

Brantford's poker room is up on level two. Players there play against one another, and professional dealers handle the games. Seats come from a list: join it in the Poker Atlas app or call 519-757-3306. Anyone on the list who fails to check in within 90 minutes is taken off.

Limit Hold'em runs at 4/8, 10/20 and 20/40, with a 10% rake capped at $10. Rake means the share of each pot the casino takes. No Limit, higher-limit and Omaha games carry a 10% rake capped at $15. No phone use is allowed while holding a live hand.

Food and drinks

The Bar and Grill serves pub-style dishes such as pizzas and poutine. The Getaway serves quick bites, lunch and dinner. A Grab-and-Go counter has snacks, drinks and sandwiches made in-house. Dinner is served Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Hours for the other outlets are not published.

Non-alcoholic drinks on the gaming floor are complimentary and available 24/7, though the selection may vary. The Getaway and the Bar and Grill are 19+. Minors may not enter any restaurant on the gaming floor, even with a parent or guardian.

Set a money limit first

Elements never closes, so no closing time will end the trip for a visitor. Settle two things before leaving home: how much money the trip gets and what time to head out. Some people find it easier with both on paper. When that money is gone, the visit ends.

Inside the casino is a PlaySmart Centre with staff on hand, reachable at 519-752-2950. Staff arrive at 11 a.m. each day; they leave at 8 p.m. Sunday to Wednesday and at midnight Thursday to Saturday. The First Visit desk's calculator below converts the amount and the hours into a pace per hour.

Take the night's budget and split it by the hours planned at the casino: the result is the hourly ceiling. Once that money is spent, the night ends there.

The casino since 1999

Brantford Charity Casino was the name when the doors first opened in 1999. It then operated as OLG Casino Brantford. The Elements Casino Brantford name arrived on May 1, 2018, once Great Canadian and Clairvest completed buying the West GTA gaming bundle.

The day-to-day running of Elements Casino Brantford falls to Great Canadian Entertainment, and greatcanadian.com hosts the venue's own page. Across the province, OLG is the body that conducts and manages all casino gaming. Operators like Great Canadian handle daily operations as private service providers. Those providers answer to the AGCO, which regulates them.

Online play in Ontario

The First Visit desk treats online play as a topic apart from the gaming floor on Icomm Drive, and Ontario has regulated that market since April 4, 2022. Conducting and managing it is the job of iGaming Ontario, while the AGCO acts as regulator. A private operator's online casino counts as legal here once it holds both an AGCO registration and an iGaming Ontario operating agreement. OLG, the provincial agency, offers OLG.ca as its own online casino. Players need to be 19 or older and stay within Ontario's borders for the whole session.

BetGuard, found at betguard.ca, allows a self-exclusion covering each regulated Ontario online gambling site, OLG.ca too. Land-based casinos are not part of a BetGuard exclusion. Brantford Casinos, Plain Answers marks its paid links Ad; behind them is one privately run online casino, meant for adults in Ontario. The partner is not OLG.ca, and Brantford Casinos, Plain Answers earns a commission from it.
