Gateway Casinos & Entertainment is ready to get things rolling at Hiawatha Horse Park with a job fair seeking individuals for the revived gambling facility on site. Gateway Casino Sarnia is looking for individuals to get things started and bring back the gambling atmosphere of previous years. This Thursday is about to see a job fair seeking some 70 individuals for the racetrack gaming venue, as well as Starlight Casino Point Edward.
The event is about to commence at 11 a.m. and extend all the way to 6 p.m., giving potential employees enough time to look around and meet their potential employer in the face of Gateway Casinos & Entertainment. The two locations are in need of various employees covering both the gaming offerings on site, and the dining experience Gateway Casinos bring.
Thursday Sees Job Fair
This week is a pivotal point of the gaming development of Sarnia and Point Edward, as the two locations are ready for gaming expansion. Starlight Casino Point Edward and Gateway Casinos Sarnia are located some 9 kilometers away from each other but this is not projected to lead to field cannibalization and the negative effects coming with it.
This is due to the rather different nature of the two locations, as the former is a well-rounded casino venue on the shore, while the latter is a slot machine location adjacent to Hiawatha Horse Park on London Line. The target group of gaming patrons is different for each of them and they are not projected to overlap down the road.
Now it is time for the casino operator to find about 60 people for Gateway Casino Sarnia, as well as several more for the Point Edward facility rounding their number to 70. Rob Mitchell, Gateway Communications & Public Affairs Director, said that there are also full-time and part-time spots available right now, diversifying the individuals that could make their way into the staff of both locations.
Expansion Continues in the Area
It should also be taken into account that both the Starlight Casino Point Edward and Gateway Casinos Sarnia have supervisory positions up for grabs. Everyone interested also has the opportunity to apply for a position online, but showing up at the Sunbridge Hotel and Conference Center would optimize the process. After six years of no gaming action following the end of a special program, Hiawatha Horse Park is about to welcome back slots gaming action.
The projected launch date would be some time ahead of January 31, 2020. Hiawatha Horse Park is expected to see an increased flow of individuals possibly staying for longer once the slots location launches operation. Gateway Casino Sarnia would feature some 150 slot machines, a reduction of the original 450 devices it boasted six years ago. However, the new location is expected to make the racetrack even more popular and offer financial help to local horse people.
Leamington Raceway, Dresden Raceway, and Hiawatha Horse Park are referred to as relatively smaller racetracks in Ontario which could fall prey to poor financing. Ontario Harness Horse Association wants to see action and some changes to the harness racing field of Ontario, as the industry is currently experiencing Woodbine Entertainment Group’s influence on Ontario Racing. Gamin operation at Hiawatha Horse Park is projected to be beneficial.
