Gaming

policy
says no
to Vegas

A NEW GAMING policy
bans Las = Vegas-style
casinos from setting up in
the province.

* “Our economy is strong
and we don’t need this type
of business in our pro-
vince,’ said government
- services minisicr Robin

Blencoe.

The policy also allows for
the expansion of electronic
gaming,

No more than 5,000 video
lottery terminals (VLT) will
be allowed in adult-only
Places such as bars, pubs
and charitable ~— casinos
throughout the province.

**We have up to 10,000 il-
legal VLTs in the province
tight now,”’ Blencoe said.
“We consulted with law en-
forcement officials and they
said the way to avoid this is
to allow some Icgal ones in
moderate numbers,’

' But B.C. Reforma caucus
leader Jack Weisgerber

. thinks there’s nothing mod-
erate about the new policy.

“The move of having

5,000 VLTs is a huge step,
and having these terminals
in bars and pubs also con-
cers me,’’ said Weisgerber.
“It’s focussed on using
electronic gambling as a
cash flow for the govern-
ment ait the expense of
charitable organizations.”’

He also said the policy is
too vague on how the rules
will apply to First Nations
groups.

While the province is still
negotiating gaming policies
at the First Nations Summil,
said Blencoe, ‘‘First Nations
gaming will be- within the

" new gaming policy and the

laws of British Columbia.’’
Weisgerber, however, sees
no need for further negotia-
tions,
‘I believe very strongly
that gaming should be the
same for everyone across

the board,"’ he said, “First: Ate

Nations gaming should:
controlled and monitored
the same as all other gaming “
and revenue sharing should
follow a similar pattern as
all other charitable
casinos,’’
