Gateway Casino Sault Ste. Marie Brings Back Live Gaming
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Gateway Casino Sault Ste. Marie has brought back live gaming. The gaming amenity is operated by Gateway Casinos & Entertainment for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. It was closed in 2021 due to the potential spread of the virus.
The Sault Ste. Marie gaming venue is in the final stages of reopening. Six tables will be brought back to the gaming floor: three blackjack, one roulette, and two novelty poker game tables. The company will also bring back nine employees who were laid off during the unprecedented situation. The industry is recovering slowly and it will take some time before it reaches its normal state.
The City of Sault Ste. Marie receives a gaming revenue payment from the OLG for hosting the casino in the region. In January this year, the OGL issued a CA$273,611 payment to the city for Q3 of last year. Since opening in May 1999, it has generated over CA $32 million in non-tax gaming revenues for the City.
Gateway Casinos & Entertainment has no current plans of starting the construction of the multi-million resort in Kenora, Ontario. The company will concentrate on recovering business at its existing properties.
