Published reports from last October stated that 150 slots will be reintroduced to the Sarnia facility. According to The Sarnia Journal, Henderson has said that it will be closer to 2020 before the lease is in place and renovations are completed to house the re-introduction of slots at Hiawatha. A new Gateway Casinos Sarnia will open in late January with 150 slot machines and about 60 employees, says Rob Mitchell, spokesman for Gateway Casinos & Entertainment. Gateway is a private company that will operate the new gaming facility under construction at Hiawatha Horse Park on London Line.
