Another casino could be built in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, bringing the total to nine.
The province said conditional approval has been given for a new casino to be built in Lloydminster, the city that straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan border.
Don McMorris, minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority, said construction will not begin until the community has been consulted.
“There needs to be proper consultation through SIGA (Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority) as well as the community,” McMorris said. “Once that's complete, they’ll put in a formal request that will ask for the construction of a casino in that area.”
