Quebec Town to Get Slots

The resort town of Mont Tremblant, Quebec was electrified by the unveiling of plans to construct a slot machine resort within city limits. The residents of this Canadian city are apparently elated at the news that a slots casino will open by summer of next year. It was reported recently by the Canadian media that Mont Tremblant officials had gathered to hash out the specific details of the slot casino’s building, and discuss the current status of the project and where it is headed.

Mont Tremblant is already a mecca for both domestic and international tourists. The town is named after the mountain it surrounds. Mont Tremblant is a famous ski destination that also offers golfing and beautiful lake swimming during the more clement months. The slot machine casino is to be constructed on the mountain’s southern slope. Right now, the plan is to install some four hundred slot devices in the casino, along with a quintet of video poker machines and a full twenty gaming tables. The Mont Tremblan slot casino will also feature a VIP lounge designed to fete high rollers.

City officials are delighted at the economic prospects the casino offers: around fifty million dollars a year in revenue, thanks to an estimated seven hundred thousand annual visitors. The meeting to discuss the slot machine casino actually had to be rescheduled from an earlier date, for an ironic reason: an unlucky gambler at nearby Montréal’s Île Notre Dame casino had committed suicide over the loss of a large sum of money.
