Great Canadian Entertainment (GCE), a prominent gaming and hospitality company, has announced that it will name its $1bn new entertainment resort ‘Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto.’ It is set to open its doors this summer and is situated at the intersection of Highways 401 and 427, adjacent to Woodbine Racetrack.
The new casino features transformative architecture and an impressive 33-acre footprint. It will feature an integrated 400-room hotel, a 5,000-seat live entertainment venue and multiple dining options.
The space it will take up is currently occupied by the Casino Woodbine, which will continue to operate with no interruption. Woodbine offers more than 3000 slot machines and virtual gaming tables for baccarat, roulette, blackjack, sic bo and more.
However, the Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto has been marketed as a best-in-class entertainment district that will raise the standards offered to Torontonian gamblers.
GCE CEO Matthew Anfinson commented: “We see this as an unprecedented opportunity to introduce an entirely new, world-class experience in Canada that will bring together the best in casino gaming, exceptional live entertainment, dining, and accommodation in one very special place.
“We are very excited to reveal more about what this landmark destination will feature and what our guests can expect in the coming weeks, including the announcement of an opening date. This project has been several years in the making, and we are thrilled that we are close to bringing it to life.”
The company’s Great Canadian Rewards was introduced to Ontario in August 2022 and this loyalty program will be implemented at GCE’s latest property. Through this scheme, members are guaranteed the best rates for hotel stays at GCE-owned resorts and receive special discounts and perks such as comp dollars, redeemable at participating restaurants or gaming credits.
