Limit and help
Setting limits at Cascades Casino
Put in an amount and the hour you mean to leave Cascades Casino Chatham, and the tool turns that into a pace per hour. Ontario help lines sit just underneath, ConnexOntario first: free, confidential and answering at any hour of the night.

Decide before the first game
A limit for the night
Your amount and your hours: the stop time and the pace per hour.
Set your numbers above.
Pace per hour: the amount split over the hours. Stop time: the start plus the hours. Keep both inside the 2 am close, and remember weekday OnRequest trips stop at 12:45 am.
Settle two numbers before the first game: what the night may cost and the hour you will stop. Think of that budget as the cost of the evening, paid once, the way a ticket is. The calculator simply divides one number by the other. It forecasts nothing about any game.
Late nights in Chatham already come with two fixed stops. On weekdays, Ride CK's last option is an OnRequest trip before 12:45 AM. On Saturday the buses stop at 7:15 PM and on Sunday at 5 PM, so a weekend night needs another plan for the ride home. The second is the 2 AM close, when slots and live tables end together on every night of the week.
Set one break in advance, perhaps halfway through your hours. Step off the floor and compare what is left with the plan.
Help lines in Ontario
- Whatever the hour, ConnexOntario answers gambling questions at no charge and in confidence. Reach it at 1-866-531-2600 by phone, through the chat at connexontario.ca, or send CONNEX as a text to 247247.
- Phone 1-833-888-2306 for OLG's Virtual PlaySmart Centre, staffed daily from 11 AM until 7 PM.
- Under My PlayBreak, a casino break can last 3 or 6 months, or run between 1 and 5 years, and it bars the person from every casino in Ontario, Chatham's included. Once a break begins, it runs its full length. Enrolment goes through 1-800-387-0098 or a word with casino staff.
- Calls and texts to 988, the Suicide Crisis Helpline, are answered 24/7 for anyone in crisis.
Blocking online play
Through betguard.ca, anyone 19 or older can block, in one step, the whole set of Ontario's regulated online gambling sites, and OLG.ca falls within that block. Land-based casinos lie beyond BetGuard, so the floor at 615 Richmond Street is untouched by it. For a break from casino floors, Chatham's and all others in Ontario, the tool is My PlayBreak.
Questions before you go
Does the calculator know your odds?
The calculator has no view of the odds. It divides your own amount by the hours you set, and that is the whole of it.
Is ConnexOntario open at 2 AM?
Yes, ConnexOntario stays open 24 hours a day, all year round. Use 1-866-531-2600 for a call, connexontario.ca for chat, or 247247 for a text with CONNEX in it. There is no cost, and conversations remain confidential.
Does a PlayBreak cover online sites?
My PlayBreak is the casino break, and it bars entry to all Ontario casinos, Chatham's among them. Regulated Ontario online sites, OLG.ca included, are blocked instead through BetGuard at betguard.ca.
