MONTRÉAL, Dec. 11, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Starting today, the Casino de Montréal will be offering an entirely new entertainment experience called the Zone: This avant-garde concept brings together 80 multi-game electronic terminals, a giant screen and game hosts who are as fun-loving as they are dynamic and always ready to create the most unique atmosphere possible.
Each terminal in this new area allows visitors to play a variety of electronic table games, including blackjack, baccarat and roulette, as well as slot machine games.
Technology and animation geared towards entertainment
Graphic sequences on 39 high resolution screens, sound effects and lighting from 26 projectors and 8 robot cameras are choreographed at the touch of the game host's fingers, who becomes a veritable playmaker and ambiance catalyst.
"In addition to new restaurants, suspended bars, shows and redesigned spaces that surprise and impress visitors, the Casino de Montréal can now count on the Zone as another featured attraction. It will be THE place to be in Montréal for anyone who likes to play, share the excitement and have fun," said Gregory Charles, spokesperson for Québec's casinos.
For the fun of playing together
"The Zone is for customers who believe that excitement, fun and escape, in addition to socializing, are essential to the entertainment experience. In the Zone's electrifying décor, players can play alongside friends, even if they like to play different games, and enjoy the moment together: It's an incomparable entertainment experience!" said François Hanchay, General Manager of the Casino de Montréal.
The Zone concept was designed by the Société des casinos du Québec (SCQ), in cooperation with Ingenio and Technologies Nter, all three of which are Loto-Québec subsidiaries. A modified version of the Zone is currently under development for the Casino de Charlevoix and Casino de Mont‐Tremblant. In Gatineau, customers have already expressed their great satisfaction regarding this novel approach to gaming.
