NANAIMO — A multi-million dollar facelift is underway at Casino Nanaimo, which will bring a new gaming option not found anywhere else on Vancouver Island.

Casino Nanaimo director of operations Dave Reynolds says more than $2-million is being spent on upgrading several gaming amenities.

“Adding some VIP tables…got a VIP slots room coming on board, we’re going to add 25 additional new slot machines on the gaming floor,” Reynolds said. “On the second floor there will be a new poker room and off-track betting area.”

He says their new poker room will feature three live tables. There are currently no live poker offerings anywhere on Vancouver Island.
