The basics
Casino Niagara opened on 9 December 1996. It is "operated by Mohegan and governed by Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG)", and it sits at 5705 Falls Avenue, beside Clifton Hill (about). Inside are more than 1,300 slot and video-poker machines, 30 gaming tables including a poker room, and a sportsbook in the LEV2L Sports Bar on two floors of gaming (casinoniagara.com). Some other pages count "over 40" tables; we use the figure on the casino's own table-games page.
Rules at the door
- 19+ only. Security asks for ID from anyone who looks under 30; anyone who looks 21 or younger is asked for two pieces of ID. Only valid government-issued photo ID counts (FAQ).
- No children on the property, including the restaurants; no strollers or babies in arms.
- Self-excluded people may not enter. OLG's My PlayBreak program covers every Ontario casino.

From the hotel to the floor
The Sheraton's indoor walkway leads to the casino, the waterpark and the resort's attractions (hotel group). To reach the Falls from the casino, the casino's FAQ says: leave by the lower-level doors on Falls Avenue, cross to the railing, and the Falls are on your right.
Money matters
US currency can be exchanged at any cage cashier or currency-exchange machine on the floor. Membership of Mohegan's Momentum program is free and is used for parking offers and the casino shuttle; we do not cover its offers.
The sister casino up the hill
Fallsview Casino Resort (6380 Fallsview Blvd) is the bigger of the two: more than 3,200 slots and 110 tables on 200,000 sq ft, with its own hotel and theatre. The casino FAQ puts it about a 20-minute walk away. A free shuttle runs between them on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and OLG Stage show days, 4 pm to 12:45 am, every 30 minutes — and a Sheraton Fallsview room key is enough to ride it (shuttle). Our field note decodes the timetable.
Help is on the floor and on the phone. ConnexOntario's helpline, 1-866-531-2600, is posted on machines and around the property; the Virtual PlaySmart Centre answers at 1-833-888-2306 from 11 am to 7 pm (responsible gambling).
