Casino floor hours
From Sunday to Thursday, the casino floor opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 1 a.m. On Friday and Saturday it is open 24 hours. That means the floor opens Thursday morning and runs without a break into the weekend.
Sunday is less clear. The posted hours say Saturday is open 24 hours and Sunday opens at 9 a.m. They do not say whether the floor stays open between midnight and 9 a.m. on Sunday, so the Tally desk shows those hours as not published. To check that night, or any holiday, call the casino at 519-364-7606. Holiday hours should also be checked on the venue's own site.

A time after midnight belongs to the next calendar day here: Saturday 2 a.m. is still inside Friday's 24 hours. Holiday hours are not published; the casino answers at 519-364-7606.
The Arcade Bar and the restaurants
The Arcade Bar is on the casino floor. It serves pre-made items and an Arcade menu from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m., 7 days a week. Those hours stay the same on Friday and Saturday, when the floor itself is open 24 hours.
The two restaurants work differently. MATCH Eatery & Public House, a pub built around sports, keeps its own hours. The Buffet has no regular published hours, so a call to 519-364-7606 before the drive is worth making.
The simulcast theatre
A simulcast is a live broadcast of horse races from other tracks, shown on screens while the races happen. In a simulcast theatre, people watch those races and can place wagers on them.
The Hanover Raceway Simulcast Theatre is at the back of the casino. Its hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. On Friday and Saturday it opens at 12 p.m. and closes at 9:30 p.m. Sunday and Wednesday are different: the TVs are on, but no staff are on site. These hours are separate from the casino floor, so the floor can be open while the theatre is closed.

Short answers
- Is the casino open at 3 a.m. on a Saturday?
- Yes, the floor is open then. Friday and Saturday are both open 24 hours.
- What time does the casino close on a Tuesday?
- The floor opens at 9 a.m. on Tuesday and closes at 1 a.m., which falls in the early hours of Wednesday. Every day from Sunday to Thursday follows those hours.
- Can you get food at 2 a.m. on a Friday night?
- Not at the Arcade Bar. It is open 9 a.m. to 1 a.m., 7 days a week, so it has closed by 2 a.m. even though the floor stays open. MATCH Eatery & Public House keeps its own hours, and the Buffet has no regular published hours.
- Are holiday hours different?
- Holiday hours are not known to the Tally desk. Call the casino at 519-364-7606 or check the venue's own site before a holiday visit.
