Canada.- Gateway Casinos and Entertainment announced that Cascades Casino Penticton located in British Columbia will open its doors to the public on April 5. The US$19 million facility is located in the South Okanagan Events Centre.

Tony Santo, CEO of Gateway, said: “Gateway is proud to invest US$19 million in Penticton and bring up to 150 new employees for a total of approximately 300 team members to the community. Cascades Casino Penticton will be a significant addition to the local economy and entertainment landscape of Penticton.”

The 45,000 square feet gambling venue is set to feature 400 slot machines and gaming tables, including baccarat, roulette and blackjack. Additionally, a number of food and beverage and live entertainment options are included in Cascades Casino Penticton.
