Gateway Casinos and Entertainment, the company that operates casinos in the Sault, Sudbury and several other locations in Ontario including Casino Rama and dozens of other casinos in Canada, posted a notice on their Facebook page that all of their gaming facilities were closed as of 1 p.m.
"All Gateway Ontario sites will close due to a system-wide malfunction until further notice," says the two-sentence statement posted on social media.
