IPE Gaming Shut Down

People who like to do some gambling at the Interior Provincial Exhibiton might be out of luck. Management of the Armstrong fair has shut down five games of chance over a difference between the BC Gaming regulations, and the expectations of the service providers and what they can or can't do. IPE manager Bryan Burns has no idea when the issue will be resolved. He tells KISS FM, "They (service providers) have files full of stuff from way back saying what they're allowed to do and what they're not allowed to do, so it's totally different from what BC Gaming said is acceptable. We're trying to get a hold of BC Gaming officials to find out what the rules are, and what the issues are."Four of the games are run by West Coast Amusements, while the other is a fundraiser for the Lions Club.
