Loto-Québec has temporarily suspended several of its activities in the Montérégie, Centre-du-Québec and Capitale-Nationale regions (Charlevoix included), keeping with its commitment to abide by the government-issued COVID-19 restrictions.
Starting last Friday (October 16), the firm closed the Casino de Charlevoix (the establishment had been operating four days a week since July), as well as its video lottery terminals (VLTs) in the Montérégie, Centre-du-Québec and Capitale-Nationale regions (Charlevoix included). It also suspended Kinzo even in regions that are not on red alert (at present only one Kinzo hall is located outside of a red zone).
Loto-Québec also issued a reminder that Casino de Montréal, Casino du Lac-Leamy, Salon de jeux de Québec, Salon de jeux de Trois-Rivières, Hilton Lac-Leamy Hotel, and VLTs in Greater Montréal, Chaudière-Appalaches, Capitale-Nationale, Mauricie, City of Gatineau and regional county municipality of Collines-de-l’Outaouais are all still temporarily closed.
Furthermore, it will be suspending network bingo, even in halls that have remained open.
The company has stated that these temporary measures are necessary to protect everyone’s health and safety at the present time and that they urge the public to exercise caution, particularly by limiting their travel between regions and following public health guidelines.
Lottery sales, which are not impacted by these new COVID-19 restrictions, will continue at the firm’s retail outlets. The Casino de Mont-Tremblant remains open, and VLTs will remain operational in all the other Québec regions.
