Casino considers 24-hour operations
Richard Ahenakew wants to make it clear: “It is just something we’re discussing.”
The General Manager of the Northern Lights Casino (NLC) said one of the topics coming up at an annual operations meeting in Lloydminster is the possibility of running the casino in Prince Albert 24/7.
“We’ve looked at the possibility and have a general plan in our heads of what we’d do,” Ahenakew said. “But we’d have to go through all the protocols first before we made a final decision. We’d have to go through some approvals with the government, of course.”
Currently the NLC operates from 9 a.m. to 4 a.m. Ahenakew said a business case for the change in hours is still in the works and may not necessarily mean the casino would stay open seven days a week.
