28-Sep-05. Casino move urged. Red Deer Advocate, A1.

Area residents attending a public meeting on Tuesday recommended that the Jackpot Casino in Red Deer should move to a more appropriate location on the outskirts of the city. Casino co-owner Franklin Daines is proposing that the existing casino expand by 4,300-square-feet to add a poker room and additional slot machines. Red Deer South MLA Victor Doerksen moderated the meeting and promised to pass on residents’ input to the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission, which will decide whether to approve the casino expansion.
