ENTERTAINMENT RE-IMAGINED.
One Toronto Gaming is a Partnership formed by Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (TSX:GC) and Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (NYSE:BBU)(TSX:BBU.UN) to operate certain gaming facilities in the Greater Toronto Area.
The GTA Bundle is the largest award by the OLG as part of the modernization of its casino operations. In 2016, its three facilities, Casino Woodbine, Casino Ajax and Great Blue Heron Casino generated gross gaming revenue of over $1 billion. These facilities have a combined total of over 4,900 slot machines, 160 table games and employ more than 2,700 staff.
The Partnership brings considerable gaming, urban redevelopment and hospitality expertise to the operations and will strategically reposition the GTA Bundle. This development (subject to approvals) and modernization will include integrated property expansions that will enhance the gaming offerings to service the GTA market.
One Toronto Gaming began the construction of Pickering Casino Resort in 2019 and is projected to open in two phases. The first phase is slated to open in Spring of 2020 and will feature a number of gaming and dining options, while the second phase will include a full scope of entertainment amenities and hotel offerings. Once complete, the development will employ over 2,000 as part of the casino resort’s team. In addition, Casino Woodbine and Great Blue Heron Casino are undergoing exciting renovations and will soon become one of the leading world-class amenities consisting of state-of-the-art conference facilities, hotels and premier entertainment venues.
