Almost a year after Casino Rama [in Orillia, Ont.,] was shut down due to the pandemic, there remains “no set timeline” for its reopening.
And according to an internal memo sent to employees this week, there are plans afoot to “refresh” the casino’s gaming floor.
“At Casino Rama we will be using the continued closure time to refresh our gaming floor,” notes a memo sent to employees by the casino’s operator, Gateway Casinos and Entertainment.
“The changes will include reconfigurations of the slot and table floors as well as refreshing slot product.
“The new floor design will also be better aligned with the volumes we were experiencing prior to closure,” notes the memo.
Corey Dalton, the president of Unifor Local 1090, says the “refresh” will see the removal of about 400 slot machines and 20 table games.
