Don Quixote Note:
Who is right: BCLC or Gateway Casinos Income Fund. Is Pentiction a DESTINATION CASINO as stated by BCLC or a Community Casino as stated by Gateway ?
(despite 3 requests to BCLC over the last 2 month, I have yet to receive an answer.)

AB Gaming
Destination casinos are new casinos approved in principal in fiscal 1998/99 through the Government’s Request for Proposal process. For destination casinos, net income is divided, with two-thirds going to the Government of British Columbia, one-sixth to the host local government, and one-sixth to the casino proponent for Development Assistance Compensation.
