This 47,000 sq. ft. destination casino, formerly known as Point Edward Charity Casino, was operated by Ontario’s Provincial Government for 16 years. In 2017, Canada’s largest and most diversified gaming company, Gateway Casino & Entertainment was selected by Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corp. to take over operations and extensively renovate/rebrand the property.
This complex renovation project would mark mackaywong’s third engagement with Gateway Casino & Entertainment after successfully designing and delivering new build casino projects in Kamloops and Penticton, British Columbia.
As a natural extension of our overall work the renovation of this casino facility, mackaywong has developed a strategic interior and exterior signage and wayfinding program for Starlight Casino Point Edward. Taking cues from the Starlight brand’s overarching glitz, glamour and vintage Vegas charm, the program exudes contemporary and high-energy elements with bold vibrant colours, comfortably rendering itself in Point Edward’s mid-sized local urban market. Layered into the energetic and charismatic gaming hospitality interior, Starlight Casino Point Edward provides an atmosphere of excitement.
