Charlottetown offers live harness racing with a climate-controlled grandstand, pari-mutuel betting, and an enhanced simulcast racing theatre.

Casino

  • Charlottetown: over 150 slots, plus a private Table Games room featuring Blackjack, Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em, and Baccarat.
  • Summerside: a gaming floor with a variety of VLTs in a newly renovated space.

Dining

Four unique dining locations across the two properties, featuring local foods and a professional culinary team. In Charlottetown, a three-tier dining room overlooks the historic horse track, and you can bet on the horses right from your table. Summerside's West End Bar & Grill is described as popular with both locals and visitors.
