Supporters of gambling will say casinos are an important part of economic development, and will persuade cash-strapped countries to expand casinos. Casino opponents, on the other hand, will point to gambling-related harm and all the negative social and environmental impacts of hosting casinos.
At a meeting at Delta Town and Country Inn on Jan. 17, it became clear that Gateway was planning to demolish its current indoor tennis facility in the building. Gateway Casino CEO and Delta City met to discuss Gateway’s proposal and gather opinions from local residents. More than 150 tennis and sports enthusiasts attended the meeting, expressing concerns about the demolition of the only indoor tennis facility in Delta.

Four tennis clubs in the delta – the Delta Tennis Club, Town and Country Tennis Club, Radner Tennis Club, Chawasen Tennis Club, and Sunshine Hills Tennis Club – have explained the importance of indoor tennis facilities in the delta. According to a January casino report, the city hall had a number of letters from related sports enthusiasts known to be only in areas without indoor rackets.동행복권파워볼
Town and Country usually host competitions and tournaments for everyone from teenagers to professionals, and in that sense, tennis players explained that the city and casino are responsible for replacing indoor tennis facilities on a moral basis. Gateway has already submitted a zoning application to build an entertainment complex. The company behind the casino proposal has a lease agreement with the landowner, and more precisely, the Iigo family’s Chateau Holdings Inc.
However, the project is once again controversial as it involves demolition, not replacement of indoor tennis facilities. Tennis fans claimed the facility was an important part of the city’s sports and cultural life, and many municipalities with indoor tennis facilities use it as a source of revenue to fund other sports facilities. Tennis fans explained that city officials were fascinated by promises of huge casino revenues, except for all other factors.
