Lines are straight and roads are longer. Each town opens its road route in Google Maps.
North
North: Chesley to Wiarton
A weekend from the north starts in one of five towns. Chesley lies 17.8 km from the casino in a straight line. Port Elgin is 43.2 km out, Owen Sound 47.3 km and Southampton 47.5 km, so those three sit at nearly the same distance from the casino.
Wiarton, at 67 km, closes the northern list. Each figure is a line between two points, and the road you drive will always run longer. Tap a town to open its route in Google Maps before setting off.
West
West: Walkerton to Goderich
Walkerton comes first, 9.8 km west of the casino in a straight line, close enough for a short run over on a Friday evening. Paisley is 26.4 km away. Kincardine sits at 48.6 km, and Goderich at 70.8 km marks the end of the western list. These are map lines between two points, so the road from Kincardine or Goderich will add distance. Each town opens its own route in Google Maps.
South and east
South and east: near towns, far cities
Four towns form a near ring to the south and east. Durham is 17 km from the casino in a straight line, and Harriston 29 km. Mount Forest sits at 29.8 km. Listowel is 46.5 km out. From any of them, Hanover works as a drive over for the evening and back.
The cities call for a different kind of trip. Kitchener lies 88.4 km away, with Stratford at 86.4 km and Guelph at 91.4 km. Eastward, Collingwood is 75.6 km off, Orangeville 78.5 km and Barrie 109.8 km. London is 130.5 km away, Hamilton 135.7 km and Toronto 142.6 km. These figures are straight lines and the roads are longer, so driving in from a city fits a full weekend better than a single evening.
Arriving
Parking, buses and a bed for the night
Playtime Casino Hanover is reached by car. No bus route, shuttle or taxi stand to the casino is published. There is no published hotel on site either, and the Sideroad desk does not recommend a place to stay.
The casino stands at 275 5th Street, on grounds it shares with Hanover Raceway, the harness track located at 265 5th Street. Fans park free on race days, and those dates are posted on hanoverraceway.com. Parking details for other days are not published, so calling 519-364-7606 ahead of the trip is how to find out.
Method
How the lines are drawn
Each distance is a straight line between two map points: the point of the casino and the town point in OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors). A road is always longer than the line. North, east, south and west come from the compass direction of each town as seen from the casino. The guide does not estimate driving times. The route button beside each town opens its road route in Google Maps.
