Canadian provincial gambling operator Loto-Québec ordered the closing of some land-based facilities in the face of rising Covid – 19 cases in the province.
The Casino de Montreal and the Salon de jeux de Quebec will be closed until October 28. Lottery sales, however, will continue.
Also closed are video lottery machines (VLTs), network bingo and Kinzo in Montreal, Chaudière-Appalaches and the Capitale-Nationale region (except Charlevoix and Portneuf).
