7-Feb-07. Province polls gamblers. Edmonton Sun, 5.

Marilyn Carlyle-Helms, a spokesperson for the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission, yesterday said the organization has commissioned a poll to determine Albertans’ feelings about online gambling. Carlyle-Helms said that if the province were to allow Internet gambling sites to be based out of Alberta – with the government taking a cut of the revenues - it wouldn’t happen for a long time. In November, it was projected Alberta would take in $1.4-billion from gambling in the province this fiscal year.
