Great Canadian is among the leading casino operators in Canada and as such, it is on a constant pursuit of bringing only premium gaming activities and new projects. The year 2020 is about to see the opening ceremonies of several of those, but it should be taken into account that they have been in the works for quite some time. Investment in the Ontario province casino field could reach CA$700 million.
Pickering Casino Resort is about to be the first grand project seeing the light of day next year. For a couple of years now Pickering locals have been talking about the new major casino resort to be constructed in their area and everything changing because of that. At its beginning stages of construction, the project was referred to as Durham Live but the timeline was also rather different.
Great Canadian Gaming Expansion
Great Canadian Gaming had previously stated that the casino resort would have its Phase 1 finished by the end of 2019. A reality check was needed in the course of its building, which called for a new launch date. This is why the casino powerhouse issued the information that the first months of 2020 are about to result in a completed first phase of this casino complex.
It is going to include the premium casino venue managed by the leading casino operator, featuring the signature gaming offerings. In addition to that and in order to offer individuals a balanced entertainment capacity, the first phase of this project is going to introduce fine dining offerings, to amp up the family-friendly factor on the premises of Pickering Casino Resort.
Right after the launch of Phase 1, Great Canadian Gaming is about to greenlight its second phase. The plan confirms that it would feature an event center, as well as a premium hotel tower. As many as 2,000 individuals would be needed as staff and their hiring has already commenced. Next year is also going to be a riveting one for Port Perry, as casino expansion is currently in progress.
The Focus is on Ontario
Great Blue Heron Casino is currently going through an expansion and projections are that it would be ready to welcome back all of his patrons and many new one by mid-2020. July 2020 has been pinpointed as the month that would see its opening ceremony. A new hotel building is going to make it possible for players to stick around for longer with its 116 rooms available for booking.
The casino venue also saw some 20,000 square feet being added to its footprint, allowing it to welcome more table games and slot machines. Earlier this year, the casino operator put the final touches to the Great American Gaming sale to Maverick Gaming LLC, which amounted to US$56 million and included tree casino locations in Washington.
The Canadian casino developer would no longer oversee Great American Casino Everett, Great American Casino in Lakewood, Great American Casino in Tukwila, and Great American Casino Des Moines, as the focus has shifted onto Ontario expansion and launches in 2020 and 2021.
