Gateway Casinos in Ontario are dark Monday morning after an information technology (IT) outage forced the Canadian gaming operator to shutter its properties in the province.
Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, Gateway Casinos is one of the largest gaming operators in Canada. The privately held firm is controlled by the Catalyst Capital Group, a private equity investment group in Canada.
Gateway counts 14 casinos in Ontario, all impacted by the IT glitch. Gateway said the disruption was incurred Sunday morning, forcing the casinos to power down their slot machines around 1 p.m. on April 16.
Earlier today, all Gateway casino sites across Ontario experienced a system-wide IT outage,” Gateway said in the statement on Sunday. “We have decided to close all locations until further notice as we work to correct the issue.”
“We apologize for the inconvenience,” the brief statement concluded.
