8-Mar-06. Casino ruling by April 20. Red Deer Advocate, A1.

A decision on Jackpot Casino’s controversial expansion plan is expected to be made on April 20 by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission. A closed-door meeting was held on Tuesday to hear from the casino, charities, and opponents of the project, which could see the number of slot machines to be increased to 299 from 194. The gaming commission’s board is not required to hold the public meeting but wanted to gather more information in Red Deer.
