Red Deer’s Jackpot Casino is outgrowing its downtown space and wants to relocate to the Cambridge Hotel.
Both the casino and the hotel are owned by the O’Chiese Band: “It makes sense to create a casino resort,” said the casino’s CEO, Georges Yammine on Thursday.
He noted the O’Chiese Gaming Limited Partnership has been assessing the feasibility of moving since they bought the hotel in 2017.
Jackpot Casino, now located on Ross Street and 47th Avenue, has space constraints and a need for more parking spaces. Yammine said many older clients would like to be able to park closer to the building.
