This looks incredible!

• 11 casinos will reopen in total in Ontario, with a capacity limit of 50 people each. Table games will sadly remain closed for the time being. Other casinos in Ontario have not announced their reopening date, after the 50-people limit was deemed unviable by certain casinos last month, among them the Caesars Windsor casino.
• Elements Casino offers everything from watching the game at the pub, to a live show on the weekend, or the chance to win a big jackpot. The next thrill is around the corner at our two locations in British Columbia and four locations in Ontario.
• Ontario approves reopening most of its casinos but with strict social distancing requirements and no table game operations for the time being.

But it looks like that will all be changing. Which is good news for anyone who is looking for something to do on the weekend, and anyone who will be needing a job in the coming years.

That's because Pickering is in the process of getting a casino, waterpark, and hotel all rolled into one. Yes,all those things will be in one place apparently.

The complex would apparently create OVER 10,000 JOBS! Over 2,000 of those people would be working in the casino itself.

There isn’t any set date for when this would open (which is unfortunate because it sounds quite simply amazing) Durham Live is in the process of getting all its permits in order before beginning construction on the complex.

But once open it would give people in the GTA a new casino option that’s a lot closer than driving to Barrie or Niagara Falls.

The city of Toronto itself has turned down the idea of building a casino downtown many times in the past.

But if Durham Live get everything sorted out with their permits then we could all have a new option for an extremely fun night out right here in the GTA.

Pickering Casino & Entertainment Facility, designed in association with Chris Dikeakos Architects, presents an exciting opportunity to develop a completely new and modern complex for guests of all demographics. The proposed layout optimizes spatial relationships to make the experience convenient and comfortable for guests while maximizing operational efficiency with practical back-of-house and loading programming. The main entry will have tight frontage to the south property line, so that the development faces a large, proposed mix-use development to the south, with plazas and convenient connectivity to a variety of uses. The grand lobby will link the casino, hotel, performance venue, and restaurants, acting as a hub but also creating an architectural opportunity with a variety of building forms and exterior finishes.

Within the building, the interior palette will be light in nature and have a modern feel. The timeless finishes can allow for future renovations and interior developments to take place without clashing with the original installations. The gaming areas will contain different slot machine types, in modest bank sizes, with a dynamic layout. This departs from the high-density linear slot bank layout traditionally seen in Ontario casinos, generates interest, and promotes exploring the floor for new and regular guests. The ceilings will contain feature elements to break up the space, but the design will have dynamic, irregular patterns so that the gaming programming can be adjusted without compromising the visual cohesiveness of the interior design. The VIP gaming area will feel exclusive, with contemporary high-end finishes to welcome the more discerning group. Beyond the gaming floor, the atrium will have inviting multi-storey spaces to visually connect the performance venue and hotel, with intuitive links to all the key spaces.
