Betting on horses and playing coin slot machines are adult gambling games that operate legally in Canada and actually help the government raise money for charities. Woodbine is a modern race track and casino where adults go to waste money and time for fun and charity fundraising. Instead of handing over your money to help the unfortunate, you can enjoy wasting it here and possibly even win sometimes! There are live horse races outdoors with a great view from indoor windows and seats and outdoor benches where one can watch and bet on which horses will win, plus televised races in other cities showing on multiple screens, and computerized betting on one of the top floors. At $2 or more betting, small time gamblers can watch horses compete for big prizes, such as the $1 million Queen's Plate. The crowd shouts towards the last part of the races hoping the horses they picked will win. This adds to the excitement of the social atmosphere. Most of the horse-racing viewers are males, but there are lots of females playing on the coin slot machines in the main level which are both computerized with buttons or manually pulled with printed tickets of cash wins. Some of the machines have fun cartoon graphics and names with single to multiple coin betting of .01 penny, .05 nickel, .10 dime, .25 quarter, $1 and a free membership card to keep track of points and money. There are fast food booths in Food Court with Pizza Pizza and Chicken Chicken, menu and buffet restaurants Willows and Favourites, with alcohol served on site, and bars like Finish Line Bar, so one can drink and bet so that whether you win or lose, you can float mentally in a light pleasant alcoholic haze. In the evenings and late nights, there is music entertainment for those who like shows. There are rooms for rent for special events for corporate or private. In the future, there may be new development adding to the entertainment with clubs and theaters. There is no need to feel bad or guilty about wasting money here since in spending money hoping to win a fortune, one can help those less fortunate simultaneously; each year millions of these gambling dollars go towards charity organizations thanks to the Ontario Lottery Gaming Corporation.
