If luck prevails for the Berezan Group, the Chances gaming centre in Salmon Arm will be opening at the beginning of August.
And the hiring process will begin next month.
On Facebook, the Chances Salmon Arm site notes that a hiring fair will be held June 9 to 11, with details on where still to come.
The gaming centre is being built on Adams Lake band land at 10th Street SW and the Trans-Canada Highway, former home of the GM car dealership.
The Berezan Group is leasing the land and will operate Chances. President Ralph Berezan told the Observer via email Monday that he is hoping the gaming centre will be open by Aug. 1.
With regard to hiring, he said about 55 people will be on staff.
Chances Salmon Arm will cover 22,000 square feet and will include 100-plus slot machines as well as bingo, a restaurant, a lounge and an outdoor patio.
Seventeen Chances gaming centres are already operating in B.C., with the closest two in Kamloops and Kelowna.
