She described Thursday’s state of affairs as “disorganized.” Lucie Corbeil, meanwhile, only goes to casinos two of three times a year, but had brought her parents with her from Montreal to celebrate their 60th anniversary at Lac-Leamy. “But, if I don’t like it, too bad, because they’re not going to get my money,” she said. She planned to return to visit the other sections. “Maybe they have them on the other side, but I can’t go over there,” she said.

Like Normand and Lepage, Arbique also arrived Thursday to find none of her favourite games in the section where she was booked: no Mayan Chief, no Diamonds, no China Shores. Gatineau resident Nicole Arbique, who went online to book visits for each of Lac-Leamy’s first four days open and three more next weekend, likewise described her experience as “very, very disappointing.”Ī longtime regular slots fan, she can easily play for 24 hours straight without sleeping, Arbique said, and she very much missed the casino over the last four months, instead spending much of her free time painting on her iPad. Toutant was less fortunate, losing about $400. Still, she said, she left with $110 more than when she arrived.
