It is operated by Société des casinos du Québec, a subsidiary of Loto-Québec.
The Gatineau casino thus also serves the nearby city of Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. Ottawa, the larger city across the Ottawa River, was also planning to build a casino in the early 1990s, but these plans were blocked by the Government of Ontario. The casino was opened on March 24, 1996, in the former city of Hull, Quebec, the third of a group of casinos built by the provincial government to raise funds. The Casino du Lac-Leamy (formerly the Casino de Hull) is a government-run casino located in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.
