In 2000, the venue introduced slot machines, under the authority of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation which were expected to draw annual revenue of $130 million. The site includes a restaurant and hosts musical performances.

The Ottawa Swans of the Ontario Australian Football League play their home games out in the middle of the track (2008 to current).

There is ample parking in the lot (it's huge), and even if the casino and restaurant is closed it is available (permission is granted) for night photography of the building and lit waterfall/fountain.

More info (visit link) available here at Wikipedia.
