Meanwhile, the current Casino Woodbine will remain operational without any disruptions until the grand opening of the new destination.

“We are very excited to reveal more about what this landmark destination will feature and what our guests can expect in the coming weeks, including the announcement of an opening date. 

“This project has been several years in the making, and we are thrilled that we are close to bringing it to life.”
