7-Sep-06. Enoch Reserve thinks big with new casino. Edmonton Journal, B1.

Brian Lee, manager of the Enoch Reserve’s River Cree Resort and Casino, toured reporters and cameramen inside the $178-million complex which is scheduled to officially open in late October. The casino’s gaming room is one-third larger than Yellowhead Casino, currently Edmonton’s largest gambling venue. In the coming weeks, workers will install 600 slot machines and 40 gaming tables in the space. Gaming revenues will be split between the Enoch Cree’s not-for-profit Me’cet Society (15%), co-developer Paragon Gaming (15%), the Alberta Lottery Fund (30%), Enoch Cree Nation general revenue (30%), and Alberta’s other First Nations (10%).
