The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission will delay ruling on a controversial expansion of downtown Red Deer’s Jackpot Casino until it hears directly from residents. The commission will meet with both sides of the expansion debate in Red Deer sometime in the coming weeks according to a government spokesperson. The Parkvale community association is opposed to the expansion because of the casino’s close proximity to the historic neighborhood.
