Love those glitzy casino vibes but hate going all the way to Niagara Falls?

One Toronto Gaming began the construction of Pickering Casino Resort last year and is projected to open in two phases. The first phase is slated to open in 2020 and will feature a number of gaming and dining options, while the second phase will include a full scope of entertainment amenities and hotel offerings.

The GTA is moving ever closer to getting its own 'premier casino resort' in the form of Durham Live – a 1.1 million-square-foot dining, hotel, retail, entertainment, sports and casino complex connected directly to the Go Train.

Ontario Gaming GTA LP (OGGLP) announced yesterday in a press release that DLive, as it has been dubbed, is now proceeding toward the municipal permitting stage for a site near Highway 401 in Pickering, Ontario.

No estimated start date for the project has been released at this time, but when the whole shebang is finished we can expect everything from an film studios and amphitheatres to an indoor waterpark and 150,000 square feet of luxury retail shopping space.

The complex will boast four different dining districts, according to its website, and a 'casino district' with over 330,000 sq.ft. of gaming space and a grand fountain.

It is also promised to create more than 10,000 jobs, 'particularly for young people graduating from college and university who wish to remain in the area.'

OGGLP, which is behind this and several other casino projects, is a partnership between the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation and Toronto's own Brookfield Business Partners.

The group was selected in August by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to operate three gaming facilities in the Greater Toronto Area: Casino Woodbine, Casino Ajax, and Great Blue Heron Casino.

The building housing the casino is the main focal point of the area.

'As part of the significantly expanded gaming and entertainment options under development as part of Durham Live, Casino Ajax will relocate when the casino resort at Durham Live is operational in late 2019.'

Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, the operator is one of Canada’s largest casino games operators has recently announced that it would be setting up afirst-rate gaming and entertainment centre,which would be starting up operations, in the year 2020. The new centre, situated in Pickering, Ontario, will be known as the Pickering Casino Resort.

Of course the Pickering Casino Resort, once established would face some tough competition in the already bustling Canadian gambling industry. The competition would come from offline and online casinos. A huge portion of the gambling industry market share has already been taken up by competitors such as Spin Palace Casino.

The resort hopes to offer exceptional services to those who enjoylive entertainment, stimulating gaming options and assorted dining experiences.

'While we have so much more to develop and construct, being able to share the brand name of the resort with the community is an exciting next step for us,' said Tyrone Waite, General Manager, Pickering Casino Resort, quoted on Newswire.

Initially, Great Canadian had scheduled to open the Casino towards the end of 2019; however, after a few unavoidable adjustments were made to the construction process, the grand opening got shifted to 2020. As at date, the first phase of the construction is officially over.

The construction project, which commenced the last year 2018, is supposed to be finished in two phases. The first phase is scheduled to be completed and opened in 2020 and is expected to feature a variety of dining and gaming options. The second phase of the project is expected to capture all entertainment amenities and hotel offerings. At the completion of the project, the development hopes to hire more than 2,000 people to join the casino resort's team, this would provide a much-needed boost to the local job economy and a good number of locals would benefit from this.

'We will now be concentrating on hosting career fairs and seeking local talent to join our team. We are looking for people who have exceptional guest service skills and are willing to learn and grow with the company. We have great training programs that will equip our team members with the right skill set and set them up for future success,' said Waite.
