Quebec Getting New Casino By Summer Of 2009

Mont-Tremblant, Quebec is already a a resort town. Next year, they will add a casino. Loto-Quebec has announced they will be building the new casino.

The new casino will not be large by casino standards, but will still cost $61 million to build. It will hold twenty gambling tables, five electronic Texas Hold'em games, and 400 slot machines.

Loto-Quebec, which is the lottery agency for the province, and the Quebec government, were set to make the announcement on the new casino last week.

That announcement was delayed when a man was found dead near the Montreal Casino. Problem gambling had been a concern, and when it was found out that the man had been going to the casino on a regular basis, the announcement for the new casino was put on hold.

While the new casino is being built, it does not mean that Quebec is not toning back gambling in the province. 1,030 video-lottery terminals are set to be out of commission in the next few months.

Loto-Quebec is excited about the prospects of the new casino. They claim that the casino will bring revenues of greater that $50 million a year. that money will come from an estimated 700,000 gamblers a year.
