Eating at Playtime Casino Hanover

The casino in Hanover has a bar on the gaming floor and two restaurants as well. This page lists what the casino publishes about each one and leaves prices to your own evening estimate.

The Arcade Bar on the floor

The Arcade Bar sits on the casino floor, the main room with the slot machines and electronic table games. It serves pre-made items and an Arcade menu. It opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 1 a.m., all 7 days of the week.

Friday and Saturday bring 24-hour opening at the casino, but the bar still closes at 1 a.m. Late visitors on those nights should get food before the bar shuts. Holiday hours are unknown to this guide, so the casino's website is the place to confirm them.

MATCH and the Buffet

The casino has two restaurants. MATCH Eatery & Public House is a modern pub with a sports and entertainment theme. The second is the Buffet. You reach both through the casino's main entrance or through a patio entrance.

Opening times take a little more work. MATCH keeps its own hours, so check them before you go. No regular Buffet hours are published. To find out if it opens on the day you plan to visit, phone the casino at 519-364-7606. Holiday hours should be checked the same way.

Race-day food at the grandstand

Hanover Raceway shares the grounds with the casino, at 265 5th Street. It is a Standardbred (harness) track, and racing runs in a summer season, with race dates on hanoverraceway.com. On race days, admission is free and fans park for free. A grandstand concession sells burgers, fries, hot dogs, snacks and drinks. It serves during live racing only, and the raceway is licensed to sell alcohol then.

Putting food into the estimate

This guide prints no food or drink prices, because prices change. Instead, you type your own food and drink sum into the evening estimate. It sits beside the drive and your play limit, a sum decided at home and treated as spent. One plain tip helps with that number: decide whether dinner comes before the floor or after. The Arcade Bar closes at 1 a.m., even on the 24-hour nights.
