After three years of construction, the new $99 million Cascades Casino Delta, owned by Gateway Casinos & Entertainment, is set to open September 29 in Delta, British Columbia, at the 11-acre site of the former Delta Town and Country Inn.
Gateway Chief Executive Officer Tony Santo said, “Cascades Casino Delta will be a significant addition to the local economy and entertainment landscape of Delta.”
The 160,000 square-foot facility includes a 42,000-square-foot casino floor with 500 slot machines, 18 table games and six electronic table games. The venue also offers a 5-story hotel with 124 guest rooms plus meeting and conference space, and dining options including the Buffet, Summit Bar, Match Eatery & Public House and the Bud Room. It will create 600 new jobs, Santo said.
According to an agreement between the Delta City Council, Gateway and BC Lottery Corporation, the local municipal government will receive 10 percent of the casino’s net annual gaming revenue, an estimated $3 million.
The venue is expected to benefit from a new 8-lane tunnel that will replace the existing 4-lane George Massey Tunnel in 2028.
Cascades Casino Delta is Gateway’s sixth Cascades-branded casino, including three locations within BC in Langley, Kamloops and Penticton. Within Metro Vancouver, Gateway also owns and operates Grand Villa Casino in Burnaby, and Starlight Casino in New Westminster. The company owns 27 gaming properties across British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta, with 14,000 slots, more than 80 restaurants and bars and nearly 600 hotel rooms.
