New Brunswick's government is betting that building a casino will help move the province toward self-sufficiency.
Finance Minister Victor Boudreau laid down his hand on the province's new gaming policy on Thursday. It includes a notification that a request for proposals has been issued to establish a "destination gaming" facility in the province by 2010.
It makes New Brunswick the ninth province in Canada to approve casino gaming.
The casino will have between 400 and 800 electronic gaming terminals and at least 12 gaming tables. Whether poker and off-track betting are included will be left to proponents to decide, Boudreau told a news conference.
Bidders will also have the option of combining the casino with a race track, hotel, convention centre or entertainment theatre.
The government will not provide any funding for the construction of the casino and the winning bidder will be responsible for all costs related to designing, building, financing and equipping the facility.
The government has not indicated a specific location for the facility.
Proponents will have to conduct their own research to determine the available markets in different areas in the province, Boudreau said.
An independent body will evaluate the proposals, based on business and economic sense.
The introduction of a casino will broaden the visitation experience in New Brunswick, Boudreau said.
The province's tourism industry has been faltering over the past five years with a 25 per cent decline in visitors.
A casino may encourage tourists to stay in the province longer and keep New Brunswickers at home rather than travelling to other jurisdictions for gaming, he said.
After the casino is constructed, the province will receive half of its profits, expected to total $25 million annually.
The revenues will go toward other provincial programs directed at increasing New Brunswick's self-sufficiency by 2026.
Also under the new gaming policy, video lottery terminals will be banned from restaurants that minors are allowed to enter on their own.
The restaurants will have until April 2009 to remove the terminals.
There are too many VLTs in too many sites, Boudreau said, and the number of locations where VLTs are allowed will be reduced from 625 to 300.
The total number of VLTs allowed in the province at a given time will see a 25 per cent reduction from 2,650 to 2,000.
Bars and Royal Canadian Legions will be allowed to keep the VLTs and even increase their numbers. But a moratorium will be placed on new sites until 2008.
The new policy will require workers in VLT locations to receive mandatory training regarding the signs of gambling addiction.
The machines currently generate about $135 million in revenue for the province a year.
Legislation will be introduced to regulate charitable gaming activities, including the licensing of Texas hold 'em poker tournaments.
The province will also double its funding for addiction programs to $1.5 million annually.

好提议，赫赫，我也觉得unb应该有个医学院

[SIZE="4"]其中30%-50%的利润要以税的方式给当地印地安人作为建设和生活基金.也算是一个社会福利.我觉得这主要就是给印地安人一个安抚.因为以前他们要自己开一个赌场.其实现在在这个省有一个赌场.是在印地安人区里面是没有执照的...我去过一次.里面还不错.. 叫做LUCK. 其实我觉得没有人会那么傻把自己投资后的利润50%捐给当地人...只是一个政府的安抚..从昨天8号到明年3月开始接受申请.5月开始宣布谁获得润许..但是只有20年的有效期.太短了..昨天的会议上多伦多的投资者当场就拒绝了这样的条件...看看谁是这个投资者咯....(也许还是咱们中国人哦!!)如果能和中国工业园区和CHINA TOWN的工程一起做的话.我觉得没准可以得到不少政府的支持....对了顺便和大家说一声...现在省里出了一个新的政策..就是一切有关于旅游.工业加工和信息工业的都可以得到政府的补助.其中包括UP TO 50%的启动资金补助和UP TO 30%的工资补助..有喜欢创业的朋友可以去申请试试..是个很好的机会..对任何人都有效,不是只针对当地人的...GOOD LUCK.如果有人需要这个申请的说明就给我留言..如果要的人多我就把它给贴出来...中文的版本我已经翻译出来了...如果想要的也可以电我...谢谢.希望大家能共同努力把我们的外国家园发展的更好....[/SIZE]

记得上次说的投资基本金额首期是100万作为筹划和启动资金.然后是400万.作为内装和建设费用.如果要做的话现在最好的地方就是FORTHOW 但是他们好象开价很高.大概要800万.市场评估在400-500.其中包括酒店和赌场...头三层可以做为赌场初期.楼下所有房间对外开放..三到五年后如果运转正常..我觉得是可以再盖一个新的..或者买下海边的那个双子楼..大家开始构想咯...有什么好的点子一起贴上来给大家分享一下..

NB在发展,好事.

恩．．．成年了，可以去了．．．还记得曾经被澳门普京堵场的克克伯们拦出门外痛苦的的神情．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．

政府穷，没法

投资额度还真是小。。。
4，5百万就能干个正经赌场了。
赶紧开吧，倒是能解决不少就业，收入问题。
高级了。

won't happen. never, poor place

这里开不了什么特别象样的..就是有桌子就叫赌场了

请专业的医学老师教授得花多少钱? 购置医疗教学设备又得给多少钱? NB省虽然缺医生, 但是整个大西洋省区的医学毕业生毕业以后几乎绝大多数人流向加拿大西部的阿尔伯塔省,BC省和安省, NB省政府是不会做那个冤大头花钱来赞助办学的.

整俩桌子斗地主行。。。

one day i was in the lab, and they were all like" eh, eh, ... u know... they are building a casiii....." i was like" yeah, whatever!!"

C'est une bonne chose!

NB也有印第安人？？印度人倒是不少。政府不会是把它们弄混了吧？？哈哈。

NB有印第安人,只是人数不是很多.

据我所知，印第安人大部分都在西岸~~满街都是。而我亲眼见过他们到处问人家拿钱买酒。但在这边我真没见过有几个。。
