The operator's official report revealed that the project has a total value of USD 320M and includes a new hotel, a live entertainment venue and more than 13,000 square metres of gaming space for slots and card games.

The national authority- The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation- chose the new partnership after a competitive procurement process that began in 2010, when the province asked the agency to launch a comprehensive review of Ontario’s lottery and gaming network.

The new facility will be known as Hard Rock Casino Ottawa.

"We're thrilled to have been chosen by OLG to create Hard Rock Casino Ottawa," said Jim Allen, chairman of Hard Rock International. "This is a crucial first step towards a larger strategic vision of our world-class brand's expansion efforts in Ontario and throughout Canada. We are honored to partner with RCR, a reputable and longstanding member of the Ottawa community, and look forward to working with both the RCR and OLG team members through the transition and beyond."

Together, Hard Rock International and RCR will transform the existing property with a complete remodel, rebrand and significant expansion, leading to an economic development boost. 

The anticipated first phase of the capital investment project for Hard Rock Casino Ottawa is expected to be completed within the first year of operations, pending required approvals.
