Gateway takes over Chances Casino in Kamloops

KAMLOOPS — Gateway Casinos has bought Chances Casino Kamloops, making Gateway the sole gaming provider in the city.

Gateway Casinos and Entertainment Limited announced earlier this week they will take over the day-to-day operations of the Chances Kamloops facility effective Jan. 14.

With the addition of Chances Kamloops, Gateway now operates 26 properties in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario with approximately 8,600 employees, according to a Gateway Casinos press release.

“This is an exciting day for everyone at Gateway as we welcome Chances Kamloops and their employees to the Gateway family,” Gateway CEO Tony Santo says in the release.

Gateway Casinos opened Cascades Casino Kamloops in Aberdeen in August 2015.
