Employees and patrons returned to Casino Rama on Tuesday morning after more than a three-week shutdown caused by a ransomware attack that impacted Gateway Casinos across Ontario.
A small crowd of about 15 people anxiously waited at Casino Rama’s main entrance this morning about 20 minutes before the doors opened at 10 a.m. First in line was Tish Dalley, from Oro-Medonte.
“I came here today to win some money,” she said. “I was anxious to get back here because it was closed for so long.”
Dalley said she had a hunch the slot machines would be paying out after sitting idle for a while.
“I only come to the casino about two or three times a month,” she said. “They have lost a lot of money here during the closure, so I wanted to come back to support.”
