What will Metro casino look like?

On Sunday, after almost a week of airplanes, taxis, shuttle buses, rental cars, and hotels, I set out from my own home in my own car for Charles Lutes Road in the northwest corner of Moncton.

I park the car and get out and stare at a vacant parcel of land, trying to imagine it as Metro Moncton’s casino field of dreams.

It’s hard to see much at 2:30 in the morning, but I was up anyway, having just touched down in Moncton 90 minutes earlier. After visiting casinos in Calgary, Vancouver and all around Toronto, I’m not quite yet feeling like I’m in my own time zone.

From what I’ve seen of the seven casinos I’ve toured, the two I saw only from the outside, and the dozen more I researched online before setting out last Tuesday, I’ve come to understand no two casinos bear any more than a passing resemblance to each other.

The equipment is pretty much the same. A roulette wheel is a roulette wheel anywhere you go, and I think just about every casino I visited had a popular slot machine built around a Top Gun theme, which combines gambling with elements of video games.
