Canadian companies exit from Niagara Falls casino bidding
Two of Canada’s biggest casino operators have exited from the bidding war over winning the license to operate casinos in Niagara Falls.
Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Ltd. and Great Canadian Gaming Corp. have withdrawn their bids after the prices of the two Niagara properties became too high.
With the Canadian operators out of the picture, the remaining bidders for the two properties were Caesars Entertainment Corp., Hard Rock Cafe International Inc. and Mohegan Sun Inc.
Sources involved in the bids claimed that two of the US casino operators made aggressive offers, resulting in an increase of the properties’ values. What made the Niagara Falls casinos attractive to American casino operators was the fact that they could link it to their global client loyalty programme.
Casino operators like Hard Rock and Caesars offer programmes aimed at increasing gambling traffic at all their properties. The news sources, who requested anonymity due to the confidentiality of the sale process, expressed fear that the Ontario casinos may lose their high rollers to Las Vegas because of such programmes.
OLG spokesman Rui Brum declined to comment on the issues as the procurement process is ongoing, but maintained that OLG abided by the public procurement rules to ensure the integrity of the whole bidding process.
Last year, OLG announced that it would be auctioning 20-year leases of the Niagara casinos as part of an initiative to modernize facilities and increase government revenues from all of the province’s casinos.
No one really knows the terms and conditions that OLG set except that winning bidders may partake a percentage of the revenue generated from gambling. Revenues from casino hotels and restaurants will go straight to the operators, according to the report.
OLG expected Ontario’s annual revenue to grow as soon as the new casino operator took over the two facilities.

Totogaming Wins Gold Award at MAD OVER MARKETING 2025
Totogaming’s ongoing initiative “Power Has No Gender,” now in its fourth consecutive year, has been named the winner and awarded the Gold Award at the Mommy 2025 Awards.
Each year, the Mommy Awards highlight standout contributions in marketing celebrating campaigns that are bold, creative, unexpected, and, most importantly, meaningful.
In 2025, Totogaming was honored with two Mommy trophies: one for the “Power Has No Gender” initiative, and another for Totogaming’s Romania-based launch campaign featuring football legend and Totogaming Sport Ambassador Luís Figo.
The “Power Has No Gender” movement began in 2022, with its first awards ceremony recognizing female athletes who had contributed to Armenian sport through their success. Totogaming’s team launched the initiative to challenge long-standing stereotypes that associate sports primarily with men and reserve true success in the field for them.
Since then, the movement has grown significantly. Today, it recognizes not only athletes but also women across various industries who are breaking barriers and reshaping norms.
“Power Has No Gender is not just a campaign — it’s a reflection of our unwavering commitment to breaking stereotypes and honoring stories of strength, perseverance, and achievement. Being recognized with the Mommy 2025 Gold Award is a meaningful acknowledgment that our message is making an impact across borders. It inspires us to continue driving positive change wherever we can,” said Tereza Tokmajyan, Chief Marketing Officer at Totogaming.
In 2025 the initiative carried the slogan “The Mark of Your Power,” underscoring that success is not defined by gender, but by the influence we leave behind. It sent a clear message: everyone has the strength to shape their own path, whether it’s making groundbreaking discoveries, excelling in sports, or pushing the limits in any field.
The Mommy BEST GLOBAL CAMPAIGN 2025 Gold Award is one of the strongest proofs that these messages are being understood and truly valued.
