Ontario Lottery and Gaming has selected Hard Rock Casino Ottawa as the service provider for the Ottawa Area Gaming Bundle.
The Hard Rock Casino Ottawa partnership consists of HR LP Investor, owned by Hard Rock International, and RCR Investor, owned by Rideau Carleton Raceway Holdings.
It is expected that the service provider will take over day-to-day operations in autumn 2017.
"The investments Hard Rock Casino Ottawa will make will substantially enhance the gaming entertainment experience, while increasing revenue for the province and encouraging local economic development," said Stephen Rigby, OLG’s president and chief executive officer.
Jim Allen, chairman of Hard Rock International, said: “Together with RCR, we plan to potentially invest more than CAD$320m to create an electrifying, integrated entertainment destination, leading to the potential creation of more than 1,900 construction-related jobs and 2,000 direct and indirect ongoing jobs and opportunities for the Ottawa community.”
