In a statement released by Gateway Casinos and Entertainment, all locations across Ontario will remain closed in the coming days as they work to restore their IT systems.

“Our upmost concern is the protection of personal data and information,” the statement read.

However, Gateway Casinos and Entertainment is in the process of notifying the relevant privacy officials and gaming regulator of the incident.

The statement continued, “We appreciate the continued patience of our employees, customers and government partners as we work to reopen our properties in Ontario, and will continue to provide further updates to the public regarding our reopening.”
