Cascades Casino Resort Celebrates 20th Anniversary

Cascades Casino Resort in Langley, B.C., is concluding a month-long celebration for the property’s 20th anniversary, a casino that has provided more than CAD $121 million in payments to the host municipality, City of Langley, during these twenty years. 

More than $120 million disbursed to the municipality 

The province has 20 casinos, with each providing a portion of the net gaming income to the municipality where they are located. 

Cascades Casino Resort features more than 80,000 square feet of space, over 1,000 slot machines, a poker room, blackjack, bingo, and roulette tables, attracting over 29 million visitors to its gaming floor since its launch. It has grilled 64,717 ATLAS steak and fish cuts in the Josper oven, and MATCH Eatery & Public House has prepared 97,738 signature burgers. 

In 2019, the casino underwent an $18 million renovation and expansion, increasing its entertainment space by 11,000 square feet, and introduced Cascades Bingo in 2018. 

Mobile wallets are revolutionary. 

In the fiscal year 2023/24, the city obtained CAD $7.9 million from Host Local Government Payments. 

The true anniversary date was May 5. 

Ray MacNeil, Vice President of Operations BC East at Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Ltd., believes that cashless payments and mobile wallets could be significant "gamechangers" for the establishment in the upcoming two decades.

"We’ve got exciting updates happening around the casino,” he said. “We always have the latest slot machines, packed with fun themes that our players love. We also launched our new poker app for iPhone, for players to view wait times and sign up for a game at multiple poker rooms.

“Something that our players appreciate are quick and seamless experiences. To make things even easier on the floor, we’ve installed brand-new ticket redemption machines. Guests can quickly cash out slot tickets or break bills without the wait. We’re also upgrading how we connect with players. Soon, offers and bonuses will be sent straight to their phones or inboxes. That will make the process to utilize these offers simple and easy.”

Celebrations Conclude Today 

The casino has hosted significant giveaways during the month, and their Twister Tuesdays cash prizes have been popular among guests. 

Today is the grand finale, which will include Mystery Seat Draws, two slot tournaments, and a live DJ performing at the Summit Bar.
