The Hard Rock franchise is partnering with Rideau Carleton Raceway to transform the horse track, entertainment centre and mini casino.
The companies announced Monday that they could drop up to $320 million on a major revamp of the raceway property after winning a contract from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. to run the gambling operation at the horse track.
It will be called Hard Rock Casino Ottawa.

The companies say the redevelopment of the property will create 1,900 construction jobs and 2,000 direct and indirect ongoing jobs.
There will be a phased construction, which will include a Hard Rock-branded hotel and entertainment venue, plus a Hard Rock Cafe and Centre Bar and rock shop. There will be more than 13,000 square metres of gaming space.
The announcement was a long time coming, but where the new casino would be built was no surprise.
In 2013, city council declared the Rideau Carleton Raceway as the only acceptable location for an expanded gaming operation. The OLG has been working on a “modernization” plan for the gaming operations at the horse track since 2012.
Gamblers will have to temper their expectations for a Las Vegas-style gaming venue, though.
The city, which gets a cut of gaming revenue at the OLG’s Ottawa facility, wants no more than 21 table games added to the 1,250 slot machines.
However, the development around the gaming operation is also expected to make the raceway a major entertainment destination.
