One proposal could be better then two. In Osoyoos, two separate organizations are in the process of applying to the B.C. Lottery Corporation for casino licenses. The Rocky Mountain Turf Club is asking for license for 100 slot machines to be used at Desert Park and to bring back horse racing, while the Osoyoos Indian Band is asking for a full-scale destination casino license to be used as a compliment to it's RV resort and cultural centre located in east Osoyoos. The CEO of the RMTC Max Gibb says he has asked the OIB if they would consider talking about the possibility of combining the two applications in someway. Gibb says a meeting between himself and OIB Chief Clarence Louie, the OIB Economic Development Officer and Band Council members took place earlier this year and another meeting is planned sometime in the next couple of weeks. However, OIB Development Corporation CFO Brian Titus says the two applications have very different focuses and the OIB is already working on a proposal with a group that has B.C. Gaming experience.
