Casino Rama undergoes multi-million dollar transformation
Casino Rama Resort is in the midst of a multi-million dollar major transformation. Over the past several months, the resort has launched a wave of upgrades, from new dining and entertainment options to refreshed hotel accommodations and spas. Gateway Casinos and Entertainment has been working with its partners at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and Rama First Nation, embarking on the major refurbishment project. Friday marked a milestone with the grand opening of MATCH Eatery and Public House, the latest addition to the resort's lineup of attractions. Located just inside the main rotunda, staff says MATCH brings a modern pub-style dining experience to the heart of the casino.

'We certainly want to remain competitive within our market place. There are three large resort casinos in the province and we want to continue to be the premier and casino of choice for all patrons in Ontario,' shared Tara Woodward, general manager of Casino Rama. MATCH is the second new restaurant to open recently, following the debut of Chow Lucky Noodle Bar last fall. A new spa facility has been added on the ground floor, with saunas, steam rooms, and the pool still located on the third. Hotel rooms are now being renovated, beginning with the second level.

The revitalization's economic impact has been huge, according to Casino Rama officials, boosting jobs for more than 60 tradespeople and labourers working on the renovations. The entertainment lineup continues to draw crowds with a list of fan favourites set to hit the stage this summer.
