Great Canadian Gaming Corporation is one of the leading casino operators on a national level, a position that calls for professionalism and flexibility. This is true especially in these trying times and it was once again confirmed by the recent announcement of more casino closures. Casino Ajax and Great Blue Heron Casino have officially suspended their daily operation.

This Sunday was an important date for the province of Ontario, as it saw the closure of two popular casino locations. The gambling hotspot in Ajax along with the tribal casino in Port Perry has to close for business indefinitely, due to the constantly changing situation on a provincial level. Great Canadian Gaming Corporation made the announcement ahead of time.

Closures Continue

November 22 saw the closure of both locations, which suspended their operation at 11:59 p.m. EST. It could be recalled that both locations reopened on September 28, following about half a year of lockdown. They originally had to close for business in mid-March. Both announcements align with the health recommendations of Ontario’s government aiming to protect individuals hailing from these regions.

The unprecedented situation has taken its toll on the Canadian gambling field and casino operators remain as flexible as possible over this dynamically changing year. Ontario’s provincial government recently made it clear that some businesses will have to introduce new restrictions to their operation over the upcoming weeks, in order to protect the health of both their customers and staff. Casino locations are also among these venues.

The casino operator is determined to follow closely all recommendations coming from the government, as the protection of both staff members and casino patrons is of utmost importance. Further restrictions for indoor gatherings are about to make casino operation unsustainable, as the casinos would be unable to amass a substantial gaming revenue. Up until now, casinos in Ontario had to welcome up to 50 patrons at all times.

New Brunswick Affected Too

New Brunswick is another Canadian province that will have to see some changes to its casino operation. Casino New Brunswick overseen by Great Canadian Gaming Corporation will now be allowed to welcome up to 50 patrons at all times, limiting its occupancy. For the time being, no closure is projected. The announcement comes as a result of a direction coming from the New Brunswick provincial government issued on November 19.

That venue also relaunched operation on September 28. Earlier this month, the casino operator announced the temporary suspension of gaming operation at Elements Casino Flamboro in Hamilton and Elements Casino Mohawk in Milton. This change came into effect on November 15, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. EST. It was triggered once again by the further limiting of the casino venue’s occupancy, making ongoing operation unsustainable.

Great Blue Heron

Great Canadian Gaming Corporation had also been preparing for the official reopening of one of its casino hotspots but there was a change of plans. Casino Woodbine did not return to its daily operation on November 14, as it was previously announced. The venue adjacent to Woodbine Racetrack will remain closed for business until further notice.

The Great Blue Heron Casino is located on Scugog Island, just east of the community of Port Perry, Ontario, and northeast of Toronto. Both the Casino and the land on which it is built are owned by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. The First Nation theme is carried throughout the facility, in the interior art and is especially noticeable in the signature red, blue and cream colour roof.

The Great Blue Heron Gaming Company, a partnership of Casinos Austria, the Steiner Family, and Sonco Gaming, operates the Casino. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation manages the slots, while the Baagwating Community Association, a non-profit, charitable organization formed by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation, manages the table games. Revenues and profits are distributed among the parties, and to various charitable organizations, based upon contractual sharing arrangements.

Blue Heron Casino Port Perry

Opened originally in 1997, with gaming tables and a 650-seat bingo hall, the Casino was extensively renovated in 1999 and 2000. Its floor area is approximately 25,000 square feet (2,300 m²), in which there are now two bars, one restaurant, a slots' room with 545 machines and a 60 table games. The table games include: Roulette, Blackjack, Spanish 21, Mini Baccarat, Let it Ride Poker, Texas Hold Em Poker, Pai Gow Poker, Three & Four Card Poker and Texas Hold Em Bonus Poker. As of 1999, there is no longer a bingo hall on premises.

The Casino is currently receiving renovations that will be completed in July of 2020.^[1] The expansion includes a 100 room hotel as well as a 20,000 square foot addition to hold more slots and tables and a 500 seat entertainment centre.^[2]
