Aracari Resort launches mini casino
At the launch on Thursday
Aracari Resort, located at Plantation Versailles, West Bank Demerara opened its Lotto Blast Mini Casino to the public last Thursday.
At a special function for shortlisted invitees and the media, the resort’s management opened the doors to the new facility. As soon as the ribbon was cut to declare the facility open, persons could barely contain themselves as they rushed inside to seat themselves at the 24 lotto blast machines with every intention of carting off large winnings.
Speaking at the official launch, Aracari Resort’s General Manager, Alex Wayne said that the initiative was the end result of a joint collaboration, between the resort and the Guyana Lottery Company.
He said management was prompted to initiate the entertainment venture since many ‘Westsiders’ complained of the difficulties of having to trek as far as the Princess Hotel Casino at Providence East Bank Demerara to seek leisure time activities as the ones the Lotto Blast provided.
He said it was also a forum to keep hotel guests properly entertained during their stay as well as providing ‘entertainment with a difference’ for visiting groups, NGOs and other entities that visit for excursions, retreats and other functions.
The large and spacious Lotto Blast Facility houses twenty-four machines, a sophisticated beverage bar and space that allows mingling and friendly interaction. Cutting the ribbon to declare the mini casino open was five year old, Andy Tulsie Shewnarain, son of Aracari Resort’s CEO, Sase Shewnarain.
Scattered across a vast 150,000 square-feet of a historic Dutch plantation, Aracari Resort is 20 minutes away by car from downtown Georgetown.
