Gateway unveils Plans for Cascades Casino Delta

Gateway announces full plans for Canada’s newest casino in Delta.

For months now, residents in the City of Delta in southwest British Columbia have heard tale of a new casino coming to their area. They’ve sat in on extensive meetings between City Council and Gateway Casinos and Entertainment, the company proposing the project. They’ve anxiously awaited the chance to weigh in on the potential property.

Until last week, one question has remained unanswered. What will the newest casino in Canada entail?

That question was finally answered when Gateway unveiled the full scope of its plans last week. In a press release on Thursday, the company officially gave the impending gambling establishment a name, revealing a bevy of information about the proposed complex.

Full Plans for Canada’s Newest Casino in Delta

First things first, Gateway announced the title of the property, to be located upon the current lot of the Delta Town and Country Inn (6005 Hwy 17A) in Ladner, BC. It will – upon approval – take on the Cascades brand of Gateway establishments; the official name being Cascades Casino Delta.

The casino will feature the usual Cascades brand ornamentation, with a thematic design revolving around the concept of “Play”. Gracing the gaming floor will be 500 slot machines and 24 table games. Gateway’s ultimate goal is to provide players with the “casual ambiance” of a locals casino, but on a grander scale like that of larger, full-service entertainment destinations.

Gateway lauds the success of its previous BC Cascades casinos in Langley, Kamloops and Penticton, and is already preparing to launch the first Cascades casino in Ontario. Construction on that property in Chatham-Kent will begin this Spring. The Delta property, upon approval, is slated to open in 2020.

Cascades Casino Delta – Other Features and Amenities

Other features of the casino complex are sure to bring in locals, as well as tourists, to the Delta area. The plans for the property’s hotel will see up to 124 rooms and meeting space for business conferences and and conventions, and call for a capacious, 800-space free parking lot.

Patrons will have bountiful dining opportunities, including a number of Gateway’s signature eateries. Among the many restaurants will be a MATCH Eatery and Public House, Atlas Steak + Fish, and The Buffet. Cascades Casino Delta will also play host to Halley’s Club, a modern approach to classic food, cocktails and live music in a bygone, speakeasy environment.

Public Hearing Tomorrow, May 1

Tomorrow at 6pm in the Main Hall of the Ladner Community Centre (4734 51st Street), residents are invited to take part in a public hearing, where they’ll get their first chance to weigh in on the topic of Canada’s newest casino in Delta. City officials will be discussing everything from Gateway’s request for rezoning of the property along Highway 17A, to the BCLC’s interest in allowing Gateway to develop Delta into the province’s next host gaming facility.

Gateway CEO Tony Santo is heralding the project as an economical boon for the locality and surrounding areas.

“The proposed $70 million investment in Delta would bring up to 700 new jobs and careers to the area when we open, and millions in economic spin-offs throughout construction and beyond,” says Santo. “We look forward to bringing this state of-the-art entertainment destination to this rapidly growing community.”
