About 450 Casino Regina workers will return to the tables Tuesday, after their union reached a deal with the Saskatchewan Gaming Corporation.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada workers went on strike on June 3, for night-shift premiums, family leave and pay increases.
Details of the settlement for the dealers, slot attendants and security personnel haven't been released.
Talks between the company and Local 40005 restarted on July 19, after workers had been on strike for 45 days. The settlement was reached Sunday.
Workers who provided the casino's food and beverage service, represented by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, walked off the job June 4 in support of PSAC, even though their own contract talks didn't begin until June 7.
They reached a tentative settlement July 20.
The Casino Regina website said it was open 9 p.m. to midnight, seven days a week, during the strike. Slot machines were running but there were no table games or poker.
