The mayor of Niagara Falls, Ontario is worried that his city may lose 2,000 gambling jobs if Casino Niagara is closed.
Mayor Ted Salci says there’s a possibility the Province of Ontario wants to close the original Casino Niagara and focus all of its efforts on the vast Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort.
