Default CNE Casino in Toronto

I'm not sure if that is the exact name, but I see on the CNE's website http://theex.com that the Casino will be open this year from July 30 to September 3. That's great because it's usually only open for the 10 or so days that the EX is on. BTW, does anyone know if you have to pay admission to get into the EX to enter the Casino or is there a separate way in?

Lol the good old Ex casino...
6d h17 das 90-95%!
oh ya, I forgot to mention....$25 MAX bet....
I haunted that place last year when I was learning to count.
Didn't take advatage of the LL's side bet they had on every table. This year I'll be prepared.

To answer your question, it is free the enter the casino before the EX opens. Once it is open, you have to pay admission even if you are just going to the casino. You can get a VIP card which grants you free admission, but you have to sit at a $15-25 or $25-25 table for 3 or 4 hours to get the card.

If you go before the Ex opens its real easy because its not to crowded. Once the Ex opens the crowds build and you have to go during slower periods.

That reminds me: What's the table min?

Something tells me I'm going to be heading to the EX a few more times than usual this summer. Beaver tails AND blackjack. Could it get any better? =)

As always, Wikipedia comes to the rescue:

It's a yearly fair. It has a casino. This year, the casino's open sooner.

They should just get it over with and make the casino a year-round thing. THAT'd help tourism in Toronto. =)

LOL Im assuming your not from Toronto. Its like a carnival type thing that comes to the city for a few weeks every summer. They have a little casino inside but to get in you have to pay to get into the EX unless you have some sort of VIP thing someone mentioned before that you get by playing "high-end"($25) tables for a few hours.
