Who owns Cascades Casino Kamloops

Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited runs Cascades Casino Kamloops. It is one of eight Gateway casinos in this guide, and one of four in the Thompson-Okanagan. Gateway describes itself as the exclusive casino operator in the Thompson Okanagan region.

Gateway purchased Chances Kamloops on January 14, 2019, a deal that left it the sole gaming provider in the city. Since the casino's opening on August 19, 2015, host payments to the City of Kamloops have exceeded $43.3 million.

In British Columbia, BCLC conducts and manages casino gambling, while private service providers run the casinos. This guide uses "owns" where an owner or a sale is published, and nowhere else. No owner is published for Cascades Casino Kamloops, so none is named here. It is not one of the casinos in this guide that have passed to First Nations ownership since January 2025. Nor is it under an agreement of sale.

In August 2002, Gateway purchased the four Lake City Casinos, located in Kamloops, Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon. The record shows no link between that purchase and the casino on Versatile Drive. Cascades Casino Kamloops opened on August 19, 2015, at 1555 Versatile Drive.

Gateway acquired Chances Kamloops on January 14, 2019, which left the company as the single gaming provider in Kamloops. Host payments to the City of Kamloops since the opening total over $43.3 million.

Elsewhere in this guide, four casinos passed to First Nations ownership between January 16, 2025, and June 16, 2026. No sale of Cascades Casino Kamloops is published, and Gateway still runs it.

BCLC handles all commercial gambling in British Columbia on behalf of the government, and this applies at Cascades Casino Kamloops regardless of who runs the floor. The players' card here is Encore Rewards, named by fifteen of the sixteen casinos in this guide.
