Looks like plans for the on again/off again Camrose Casino regenerating into Edmonton are on again. AGLC (Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis) disapproved the initial 2022 application. Camrose Resort and Casino revised their plans for a larger casino and AGLC approved their second application 2024. In late October Mayfield Investments Ltd., which owns the Camrose Resort and Casino, was ordered into receivership but in spite of that Mayfield president, Howard Pechet said he believes the relocation to Edmonton will still happen.
Edmonton charities are upset with AGLC's decision to approve the Camrose casino's move into Edmonton saying it will cut into the take local charities receive and have come to rely on.
Although the Alberta Gaming Liquor Cannabis (AGLC) recently decided to approve Camrose Casino’s request to relocate to Edmonton a legal wrench has been thrown into the works. On Thursday an Alberta court ordered the company that owns Camrose Casino into receivership. Howard Pechet, president of Mayfield Investments Ltd., the casino’s owner is befuddled by the move and hopes the decision can be reversed. Accounting firm Ernst and Young has been appointed as the receiver.
