Some of Ontario's casinos reopen

This includes Casino Woodbine, Great Blue Heron Casino, and Casino Ajax.

Per Ontario's indoor gathering limits, only 50 people will be allowed in at one time.

The casino reopening also excludes table games and other amenities, which means only the slot machines will be open at first.

Ontario joins New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in reopening its Great Canadian casinos, while British Columbia's remain closed.
