It was first opened in 1971 by the Klondike Visitors Association, making it Canada's oldest casino. Gertie's, as it is colloquially known, as well as most of Dawson City is reminiscent of the area's Klondike Gold Rush history. Patrons are treated to a daily vaudeville show inspired by one of Dawson's most famous dance hall stars from the Gold Rush era, Gertie Lovejoy, who had a diamond between her two front teeth.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} OverviewGertie's is unique among casinos in Canada, as it is the only one where patrons can gamble, drink alcohol, and watch live entertainment in the same room, and is the only casino located in northern Canada.[1] It is still operated by the Klondike Visitors Association, a non-profit organization. Revenues are re-invested back into the town to help preserve historic sites, produce local events, and to promote the Klondike.[2] Gertie's is only opened during Dawson's busy tourist season, May–September.[3] In 2015, it was named as a Municipal Heritage Site.[4] Arctic Brotherhood HallThe building that houses Gertie's was formerly known as Arctic Brotherhood Hall. It was built in 1901 in a mere three weeks by the Arctic Brotherhood, who were a fraternal social organization for men living in the northwest section of North America. Camp No.4 of the Arctic Brotherhood was formed in November 1899 in Dawson City. When it was completed the building was regarded as the largest and grandest building in the northwest. In 1925, the Arctic Brotherhood ceased to exist and soon after the Fraternal Order of Eagles moved in. Eventually the building was turned into a community hall. In 1967, the building was renovated and briefly renamed to Centennial Hall in honour of Canada's 100th birthday.[5] In 1971, The town leased the building to the Klondike Visitors Association, who were running casino nights on the S.S. Keno after they had obtained a special gambling licence from the Government of Canada.[6] GamesAmong the available games are blackjack ($2-$100 bets), roulette, poker, 64 slot machines, and red dog poker.[7] They also have a special game called money wheel, featuring Canadian bills.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://travelyukon.com/diamond-tooth-gerties-gambling-hall-1|title=Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall|author=anonymous|work=travelyukon.com}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://dawsoncity.ca/history-diamond-tooth-gerties-gambling-hall/|title=History of Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall|author=Dawson City|work=DawsonCity.ca}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lonelyplanet.com/canada/yukon-territory/dawson-city/entertainment-nightlife/other/diamond-tooth-gertie-s-gambling-hall|title=Diamond Tooth Gertie's Gambling Hall|author=Lonely Planet|work=Lonely Planet}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://whatsupyukon.com/communities/NorthtotheKlondike/gerties-is-now-a-municipal-heritage-site/#sthash.fkNDS89T.dpbs|title=Gerties is now a Municipal Heritage site|author=Dan Davidson|work=Whats Up Yukon}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://register.yukonhistoricplaces.ca/Place/383|title=The Arctic Brotherhood Hall municipal historic site is a two storey frame building located at the corner of Queen Street and Fourth Avenue, Lots 1 and 2, Block S, Ladue Estate, in Dawson City|author=Yukon Register of Historic Places|work=Yukon Register of Historic Places}} 6. ^{{cite web|url= http://playerspokercanada.com/casino/diamond-tooth-gerties/about|title=About Diamond Tooth Gerties|author=Players Poker Canada|work=Players Poker Canada}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.casinocity.com/canada/yukon-territory/dawson-city/diamond-tooth-gerties-gambling-casino/|title=Diamond Tooth Gertie's Gambling Hall|author=Casino City|work=CasinoCity.com}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://dawsoncity.ca/diamond-tooth-gerties/poker-gerties/|title=Games of Chance|author=Dawson City|work=DawsonCity.ca}} See also
