Slot Machines Want to Move

The Chances Good Time Gaming Centre has made application to city hall to be able to move their location. They would like to move from downtown Prince George, to Treasure Cove Casino. The current City Planning Manager, Grant Bain, confirmed the move.

They are asking for zoning amendments so that they can move their slot machines, and Bain says that they don’t have all of the necessary information yet to say if it will be approved or not. Bain says that when all of that information does come in, they will be putting together a report so that they can decide what the best course of action will be.

Bain did not know why they were planning on moving the slot machines, and said simply that they would have to ask the owner, John Major, what his thought process was. Major owns both the gaming centre and the slot machine casino.

The current gaming centre has 71 slot machines, as well as bingo terminals, a lottery centre, and a bistro. It made more than $15 million last year alone. They employ 100 full and part time employees.

The year before the gaming centre brought in $14.2 million – showing that there was an increase in revenue for the establishment. The new slot machines are responsible for only $125,075 of that, but they didn’t come into play until March.
