The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) said it has reviewed four separate incidents where minors allegedly gained access to the casino floor and gambled.

Two alleged failures were discovered at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto and one at each at Casino Ajax and Pickering Casino Resort.

“Ontario casino operators have an obligation to ensure minors are not able to access casino floors or activities such as slot machines or table games,” said Dr. Karin Schnarr, CEO and registrar at the AGCO.

“The AGCO will continue to monitor and hold all casino operators accountable for fulfilling this important role.”
