The building will consist of a casino area, bar, dining lounge and bingo hall, as well as staff areas and administra- tion offices. While the marketing aspects of the casino will be handled by World Casinos, the everyday operations will be handled by Casinos Austria. Representatives from both companies were on hand over the weekend. The building of this casino will see the first permanent charitable casino in Southern Ontario, according to developer Michael Novac. The only other one of its kind is located in Kenora.

The forty gaming tables will feature roulette, caribbean stud poker, poker, black jack, baccarat and mini baccarat. There will be no electronic gambling devices such as slot machines on the premises. Located just past the inter- section of Highway 7 and Fralick's Beach road there will be parking to accommodate 600 cars plus an additional 120 staff spots. Chief Edgar noted that while the first couple years of profits will go towards the debt incurred to build the facility, after year three charitable organizations would benefit. He mentioned potential recipi- ents as the local hospital, library and recreational facili- ties in the area. Chief Edgar believes the facility will generate great interest and be of benefit not only to Scugog but that it will also have a positive, pleasant effect on all of the Durham Region. A growing industry "It is the fastest growing entertainment industry in the world and we are proud to be a part of it," he said. The facility is expected to generate approximately 220 permanent jobs, according to Mr. Novac. He said the First Nation has hinted they could fill 30 to 40 of those jobs, with the rest available to non- reserve residents. Chief Edgar, who first detailed the First Nations plans in a letter to the editor in the Port Perry Star in 1993 said the facility is "better and nicer than what he had in mind in the beginning." "Our people are thrilled with what they are going to end up with," he said. "The plan is simple, but it is very effective," he said.
