Toronto and GTA casinos and their cards
Toronto & GTA has 5 casinos in this guide, in Toronto, Pickering, Ajax, Port Perry and Milton. All five take the same rewards card, Great Canadian Rewards.
One card for all five
Every casino in Toronto & GTA takes the same card, Great Canadian Rewards. It works at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto, Pickering Casino Resort and Casino Ajax. Great Blue Heron Casino & Hotel in Port Perry and Elements Casino Mohawk in Milton take it as well.
All five are Great Canadian Entertainment casinos, and the card is that operator's programme. Across the guide, Great Canadian Rewards works at 12 of the 30 casinos, so it also reaches beyond this region.
In this guide, no card works at casinos of two different operators. My Club Rewards stays with the Gateway casinos and Momentum with Mohegan's two in Niagara Falls, so neither covers these five. Caesars Rewards and Unity by Hard Rock each work at one casino elsewhere in the province.
Toronto & GTA casinos, their card and town
Each casino name opens its own page, and the card shown is the one named on that casino's own page or its operator's programme page.
