The selling of shares in Great American Gaming Corporation by a Richmond-based entertainment powerhouse is just one factor contributing to these profits. numerous existing Great Canadian venues have been expanded, and numerous new ones have opened, both of which have contributed.
Major American Discount

The completion of the Great American sale, as stated by Great Canadian CEO Rod Baker, has allowed the Canadian firm to refocus on its primary growth regions.
Openings and Expansions
The growth of numerous of Great Canadian’s entertainment venues in Q2 and the months preceding up to it contributed significantly to the company’s financial performance in the period.
In May, Great Canadian Gaming Corporation added 1500 slot machines and 60 table games at Elements Casino Mohawk in Campbellville, Ontario. The company has also added table games to its Woodbine location. This and that are included in the May 2017 purchase of the West GTA Gaming Bundle.
Meanwhile, earnings from the East Gaming Bundle were up as well. Shorelines Casino Peterborough, which opened in October 2018, and Shoreline Slots at Kawartha Downs, which reopened at the end of 2018, both contributed to this growth.
A Bright Future
