Sand Hills Casino opens its doors

CTV Winnipeg: Sand Hills Casino opens doors Sheila North Wilson reports on Manitoba’s latest casino and challenges it could face.

Manitoba's newest casino powered up the VLTs and shuffled the cards for the first time Monday.

The $20 million Sand Hills Casino covers 31,000 square feet, with table games, slots, a restaurant, and lounge and is about 50 km east of Brandon.

It's owned by Manitoba's First Nations, with the profits shared between all 63 members.

The Carberry-area facility is the third First Nations owned casino in the province, joining South Beach, and the Aseneskak Casino near The Pas.

About 160 people will be employed at Sand Hills.
