Loto-Québec's gamble on re-opening its casinos with numerous COVID-19 restrictions in place has largely been a bust, at least judging by early reviews from customers who visited Gatineau's Casino du Lac-Leamy on Thursday. Casino greenwich london.
After being closed for more than four months, the popular casino welcomed customers back with slightly reduced hours (only 19 per day), mandatory masks, physical-distancing requirements, pre-booked online admission recommended and a much smaller capacity, plus other constraints to reduce health risks to staff and customers.
'We're very disappointed,' Gatineau resident Chantal Normand said as she and her husband, Alain Gilbault, left after about two hours, only about half the time they typically spent on their roughly weekly visits before the casino closed in March.
Among their complaints was the fact that, when an online appointment was booked — the only guaranteed way to get in — customers had to indicate which of the four sections they wanted to be in; one area has slot machines, one has table games and two have combinations. Customers are not permitted, however, to move between rooms.
The one Normand and her husband were in Thursday had none of her favourite slot machines.
'We booked three more visits,' she said, 'one per week until Aug. New no deposit bonus casino usa. 7, and one of the other ones is for the same side, so I'm going to cancel it.'

Céline Lepage and Guy Toutant, who had been twice-weekly regulars before the casino's March closure, were also among those who returned Thursday, with Lepage describing it as just 'OK,' and similarly noting her disappointment with the limited selection of slots. Still, she said, she left with $110 more than when she arrived. Toutant was less fortunate, losing about $400.
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.'
A 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. 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.

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. She described Thursday's state of affairs as 'disorganized.'
'It's very, very different,' Corbeil said, noting the absence of the sort of bright, noisy atmosphere that would be part of the allure of casinos. 'It just wasn't the same at all.'
