Casino Rama is making plans to reopen.
But it will be open by invitation only, there will be no table games available and no food or beverage service.
Rama First Nation Chief Ted Williams made the announcement today.
“We have been working with Gateway Casino officials and Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) for several months to explore options for the safe opening of Casino Rama,” said Williams.
Casino Rama and all provincial casinos were closed by the OLG in mid-March. While most other casinos have already re-opened, the massive gaming facility east of Orillia remained closed. Officials had said that, due to the size of the casino, it didn’t make sense to re-open when only 50 people could be inside the building.
Today, Williams announced all parties “agreed on opening ... after consultation with the Rama COVID-19 Task Force, based on their overall satisfaction with safety plans.”
Williams and members of the First Nations council recently visited Georgian Downs, which is also operated by Gateway. That facility has been open, on a limited basis with extensive COVID protocols, for several weeks.
“We went to see the effect of the business with the proper protocols in place,” said Williams.

*The reopening comes on the same day that casinos in covid-19 hot-spots of Toronto, Peel, and Ottawa have been ordered to shut down. The London casino operator remains undaunted.
He said the Innisfil facility is adhering to public health guidelines by limiting the number of patrons to 50, mandating masks for patrons and staff at all times, signage that promotes safe practices and hand sanitizing stations.
He also noted “staff (are) ready to enforce protocols as is needed.”
Williams stressed there have been no COVID cases related to the casino in Innisfil.
“This week, (chief and council) toured Casino Rama with the COVID Task Force to talk about what we needed to see in our community,” said Williams.
During a video address to the community, Williams read some of the comments from unnamed task force members.
“I would be satisfied and comfortable with suggesting that reopening would be best for the community and the employees working for Casino Rama,” one member said.
Another said: “We were also glad to know there will be no food and beverage services as this eliminates additional risk.”
Another said “the system implemented for contact tracing with registration, facial recognition and video surveillance is better than some others in place.”
Williams said “it will take seven to 10 days to restore operations.” He said “our first priority is our community safety.”
Robert Mitchell, a spokesperson for Gateway, said there are still ’a number of steps’ Gateway must go through before a re-opening date can be determined.
’When those details are established, including a confirmed opening date, a formal re-opening announcement will be issued by Gateway,’ said Mitchell.
He thanked Rama First Nation for the ’ongoing dialogue,’ saying they ’appreciate their care and dedication in reviewing our Health and Safety Plan’ meant to ensure the safety of the community, employees and guests.
’We are happy that they have reviewed Gateway’s health and safety protocols for re-opening under the current government criteria and given their endorsement for Gateway to re-open Rama under those restrictions, which include a customer capacity of 50 patrons, no live table games and the mandatory use of face masks,’ said Mitchell.
Unifor Local 1090 president Corey Dalton did not respond to a request for a comment in time for this story.
However, Orillia’s Tshweu Moleme, a Unifor representative at the casino, said he’s “encouraged” by the news.
“Of course, one can only be cautiously optimistic at this time, given the rising numbers with COVID-19 and the province’s tightening of some restrictions, but I do commend the work that Rama Chief and Council are doing, working with the company, and the union, to make sure that workers can return to work and the business can restart safely,” said Moleme.
“This is an important business and employer in our economic region and when it is down, the community feels it,” he said.
“As noted in an OrilliaMatters article, yesterday, even area charities are struggling without the Casino and its good-hearted employees.”Gateway Casinos Ontario
It’s not clear how many employees might return to work under the new protocols.

While the majority of businesses have been operational throughout the province since Ontario first entered Stage 3 of reopening earlier this summer, one type of attraction has remained closed since the beginning of the shutdown: casinos.
Many Ontarians eagerly awaited their reopening when they were listed as one of the business types permitted to open under Stage 3, but those residents were met with disappointment when casinos across the province announced that they would remain shuttered despite the go-ahead.
That’s finally about to change, though, as the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation has announced that they’re reopening their 11 Ontario locations at the end of the month.
In a news release issued Friday, the corporation said the 11 properties — which include Casino Woodbine, Casino Ajax, and the Great Blue Heron Casino — will be reopening on September 28 after first closing down on March 16.
Locations will be adhering to provincial guidelines which state that indoor gatherings must be limited to a maximum of 50 people, and table games and other amenities will also remain closed for the time being.
Gamblers will only be allowed to use slot machines, and they’ll have to reserve their spot online before showing up in person.
Health and safety measure will also be in place, including mandatory mask usage, social distancing, plexiglass barriers and more.
The company is also set to reopen locations in New Brunswick at the end of September, and they’re currently working with the Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation on a reopening plan for the province.Casino News In Ontario Ny
Locations in British Columbia, meanwhile, will remain closed as mandated by the provincial government.Casino In Ontario Ca
’Once open, gaming revenues in each jurisdiction will be significantly reduced due to operating restrictions,’ said CEO Rod Baker in a statement.Casino News In Ontario California
’The reductions will be especially significant for our Ontario properties where, due to the 50-guest maximum restriction, we expect no material financial benefit to the Company from our 11 Ontario locations.’
