A decision is expected soon from the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) on Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Ltd.’s proposed $70 million Delta Cascades Casino Project, which would also include a 116-room hotel a Match Eatery & Public House, buffet restaurant and steak and seafood restaurant.
The casino would have 500 slots and 24 gaming tables
For the casino to move forward would require the demolition of Delta Town & Country Inn, which closed several weeks ago.
The BCLC said last week it expects to make a final decision on the project later this fall. The Delta city council approved it several months ago.
BCLC’s decision is considered by some to be a formality since the Lottery previously said that it considered the concept in line with its goals for such a facility. Once it pulls the trigger, demolition of the old hotel should follow rapidly, with the new casino complex anticipated to open in about two years.
