MONT-TREMBLANT, Que - Loto-Quebec will open a new luxury casino in the popular resort town of Mont-Tremblant, Que., next year.
The provincially owned lottery agency and the Quebec government announced Sunday that the province's fourth casino should be operational in the Laurentian town, north of Montreal, by the summer of 2009 and will create 175 jobs.
The casino will cost $61 million to build.
Loto-Quebec estimates there will be 700,000 visitors annually at the casino, which should generate revenues of $50 million a year.
The announcement had been scheduled for last week but was cancelled when a man was found dead near the Montreal Casino and it was discovered he'd been frequenting the establishment.
Loto-Quebec issued documents in February indicating that two people had committed suicide at Quebec casinos between 1999 and 2007.
