About us

At Rideau Carleton, we pride ourselves on being Ottawa's only full-scale casino entertainment destination. Our rich history dates back to decades ago when the property first opened its doors as a long-standing harness racetrack that later added casino gaming. Today, under our Hard Rock branding and affiliation with HR Ottawa LP, we continue to evolve and provide an unmatched experience for our patrons.

Our 40,000 square foot gaming floor boasts an impressive array of over 1,200 slots, electronic games, and live tables - a true haven for those seeking thrills and excitement. Whether you're a seasoned player or trying your luck for the first time, we strive to create a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home.

As part of our commitment to excellence, we work closely with regulatory bodies like AGCO to ensure that all games meet high standards of fairness and integrity. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional service and ensuring that every visit exceeds expectations.

When you're not placing your bets or trying your luck on the slots, enjoy a variety of dining options within our premises, including bars, restaurants, and cafes serving international cuisine. Let us take care of you while you indulge in an unparalleled gaming experience!

For those who prefer a more holistic approach to entertainment, we have recently joined forces with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa as part of the Unity by Hard Rock rewards program - one of Canada's most comprehensive loyalty programs! With its user-friendly interface and plethora of benefits, members can easily track their points and redeem rewards across various gaming activities.

Our commitment extends beyond just providing an excellent experience; we are dedicated to responsible gaming practices. Rideau Carleton is proud to participate in Ontario's regulated gambling framework, offering tools such as self-exclusion programs and in-property centres that provide information on setting personal limits. These resources ensure a supportive environment where players can manage their time spent on casino activities.

For patrons who speak French or English fluently, our bilingual support is there for you - catering to the diverse needs of Ontario's citizens and visitors alike. As part of AGCO's efforts towards promoting responsible gaming practices and harm reduction strategies, we recognize our responsibility as a key player in this community.

In summary, Rideau Carleton stands out as Ottawa's one-stop destination for all your entertainment needs! Combine world-class gaming options with an immersive dining experience - making it truly impossible to resist the allure of Canada's most comprehensive casino resort.
