While Casino du Lac-Leamy has reopened its slot machines and table games, its OK POKER Room (its actual name, not our assessment) remains closed. The province of Ontario currently limits indoor gatherings to 50, a number too small and restrictive for a casino to operate at a profit. Casinos in Ontario, including the Rideau Carleton Casino (which is slated to be rebranded as Hard Rock Ottawa), continue to remain closed. Located spitting distance from Ottawa, the nation’s capital, Casino du Lac-Leamy is providing gamblers from the Ottawa area with an opportunity to play slots and table games once again. Under the new restrictions, Casino du Lac-Leamy will be limited to 250 people per section, with a maximum restriction of 1,000 gamblers allowed on property at one time.

Loto-Québec ordered all casinos across Quebec to close on March 12th due to COVID-19, but the government announced that some properties may resume operations this month, with some slated to reopen between now and August 3rd.
