KAMLOOPS — The province and BC Lottery Corporation announced today that all B.C. casinos, and community gaming centres will close due to the ongoing novel coronavirus situation.

Effective at 11:59 p.m this evening, casinos throughout the province will be required to temporarily cease operations.

This includes Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited, which owns Cascades Casino and Chances Casino in Kamloops.

In an email, Gateway says it is not sure how long the closure will be in place, but they will continue working with BCLC, and following recommendations from public health officials.

The company adds that customers can check their websites and social channels for updates, and it looks forward to welcoming back employees and customers when the closure is lifted.
