MONTRÉAL, Oct. 7, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - To mark its 22^nd anniversary in style, the Casino de Montréal will be offering verrines of chocolate delights.

General Manager Kevin Taylor wishes to give a tip of the hat to all Casino employees, saying that "they are the people who have made our establishment such a great success. It's an honour and great challenge for me to continue the Casino's mission. Few entertainment corporations in Québec have delivered such an exceptional performance. That's something to celebrate!" he concluded.
