How This Sky Map Is Drawn

The guide is signed by the sky map desk, a collective editorial signature rather than a named writer. The desk is not a company and not a person. This site is no casino: it takes in no wagers and holds no player accounts. No visits to the rooms and no credentials are claimed.

The guide was built so the whole province could be seen together. Ontario's rooms are spread across six regions, from Greater Toronto to the North. On a sky, each room becomes a star and each region a constellation, easier to hold in view. The guide also lets readers check online sites themselves, in three steps, against iGaming Ontario's directory.

The painted night scenes, such as the Niagara gorge, came from an image generator working from written prompts and show no casino. Most room pictures and the Northern Ontario page picture, a slot aisle at Gateway Casinos Thunder Bay, are flat night drawings made by image software from real photographs. They are not photographs: each is shifted a little in camera and hour, with no caption, and only Playtime Casino Hanover shows a code-drawn sketch of its facts. Four others are freely licensed photographs from Wikimedia Commons, and five drawings follow free photographs from Wikimedia Commons and Flickr, credited underneath. Image sources, below, repeats those credits with links, and no picture was taken at a casino by the desk or shows anyone.

Each star is one room, and the guide maps 30 of them across six regions. Its position comes from published coordinates. For most racinos, the star uses the racetrack's coordinates. Ten of the mapped rooms sit at or beside a track.

Ten rooms have no published coordinates. Their stars sit on the centre of their town instead. The map is also schematic. The west is compressed, and stars that sit close together are nudged apart.

So read the sky for orientation, not distances. Lines inside a constellation only join its stars. They are not roads, and they do not show a route between rooms. For directions, a real map does that job better.

Every fact in the guide comes from a named source: venue pages, OLG, the AGCO, iGaming Ontario, or the press. Beside each fact sit its source and the date of its check. The current round of checks was made in October 2026.

Sometimes the published figures do not agree. That happens with some opening hours, some addresses and some slot and table counts. When it does, the guide either leaves the value out or gives both figures, and where the minimum age differs it uses the stricter rule, 19+. Readers are sent to the venue's own page instead, which is the place to confirm anything before a visit.
