Where Is The Casino Going In North Bay
The site on Pinewood Park Drive in the city's south end will be home to the 39,000-square-foot casino that will employ 300 workers and is scheduled to open in mid-July of 2020.
- The deal includes approval for two new casinos in the Kenora and North Bay areas. The company has yet to announce any specific details for the new casino property. Gateway spokesman Rob Mitchell says, “It’s definitely going to happen. Gateway is absolutely committed to building a brand new casino facility in North Bay.” He adds that the.
- After nearly seven years of work, construction on the new North Bay casino has finally begun. Officials from the city and province marked the official groundbreaking of Cascades Casino North Bay.
- The Gateway Casino in North Bay to Open in 2020 Gateway Casinos and Entertainment Limited revealed that it has plans to open a casino in North Bay, Ontario. The precise location has not been named, but it is known that it should start working in Q1 of 2020.
North Bay City Council has expressed a desire for a new casino to be situated on Pinewood Park Drive and it looks like that is where the project is headed.
After months of discussions with the MTO and little activity on the preferred site across from the North Bay Regional Health Centre, Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited is acknowledging that the project will not move forward at that location off Highway 17 just west of North Bay. Gateway says a deal with the ministry concerning a cloverleaf interchange was the sticking point.
In correspondence, Rob Mitchell, Director of Communications and Public Affairs for Gateway Casinos writes, “Project is going forward. Gateway still intends to build a casino in North Bay.”
Mitchell says a deal to locate the casino at a site other than at Eloy Road is in the works. He adds an announcement regarding the new location, as well as details on jobs to be created, Gateway’s investment, and a timeline until operations commence is “imminent.”

Throughout the long, drawn-out affair with OLG over a casino build in the city, it was Council that made moves to facilitate such an action in the south end as a way of encouraging development in that area with services needing to be extended farther down Pinewood Park Drive. This area has also been mentioned as a potential site for a new arena project.
The City of North Bay rezoned land where the Moe-Ze-On-Inn once sat in hopes that the proponent chosen to build and operate the casino would choose that site. A second, larger, privately-held piece of property across the street from the City-owned site was also rezoned by Council for consideration.
There has been plenty of opposition to a casino being built in North Bay. Janet Zimbalatti has been a frequent presenter before Council, often citing statistics that she maintains indicate the human and societal cost of a casino is greater than the public is being led to believe.

NORTH BAY — North Bay may soon be home to something a little more risqué.
Gateway Casinos, the company behind the soon to be opened Cascades Casino in North Bay, has expressed interest in opening a Strip Club inside the hall.
“It’s a natural fit,” says Gateway Financer Merle Orson. “Cascades is a $30 million facility spanning over 39000 square feet. It’s massive, and it’s going to be home to an eatery and buffet, as well as the hundreds of people who will come for games and entertainment every day.”
“Adding a little titillation to the mix can’t hurt.”
Stripping For Money
The Strip Club, which will work closely with Cascade’s Eatery & Buffet, will offer all different kinds of strip.
“There will be turkey, beef, chicken, pork, and vegetable strips of course,” explains Orson. “But I’m hoping we can offer local duck, deer, and moose to make the Strip Club even more tantalizing.”
Orson says that VIP club membership would be $24.99 a month.
“With that membership you get all-you-can-eat strips and special seating at the stripping tables. There, chefs will prepare the strips you choose right in front of you.”
“Tips would be welcome and encouraged.”
Now Hiring
Those chefs and culinary wizards looking to be a part of Cascade’s Strip Club are asked to forward their resumes to thestripclub@northbaycasino.ca.
“Management has asked that we advise people not to send bikini pictures and NSFW images,” says Orson. “They seem to be getting a lot of those for some reason or another.”
