Mohegan Gaming & Ent win Ontario casino contract

US tribal casino operator Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE) has won the right to manage gaming operations at Canada’s largest casino.

On Monday, Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corp (OLG) announced that it had selected MGE as the service provider for its ‘Niagara Gaming Bundle.’ MGE will now handle day-to-day management of gaming operations at the Fallsview Casino Resort, Casino Niagara and the planned 5k-seat Niagara Falls Entertainment Center, which will be located adjacent to the Fallsview property.

MGE was selected for the Niagara bundle following what MGE chairman Kevin Brown called a “very competitive” procurement process, and MGE looks forward to partnering with local stakeholders and becoming an important part of the Niagara community.

OLG president Stephen Rigby said MGE would help “ensure the long-term competitiveness of the Niagara gaming market, particularly in relation to markets across the border.” MGE is expected to take over the Niagara bundle’s day-to-day ops by the summer of 2019.
