Move over, Atlantic City, here come “the Maritimes.” (Quoth the Mackenzie Brothers, “Zoom in on the Maritimes, eh?”) Not to be outdone by Nova Scotia‘s casinos or Prince Edward Island‘s racino, New Brunswick has struck back with a 22-table, 500-slot casino in Moncton. Already, dark predictions of doom are being sounded by the usual suspects. Watching the (non-embeddable) video footage, I couldn’t helping thinking Mayor Tommy Shanks (the late John Candy) ought to be cutting the ribbon, with entertainment provided by lounge lizards Sammy Maudlin (Joe Flaherty) and Bobby “As a comic, in all seriousness” Bittman (Eugene Levy) … for those of you who fondly remember SCTV.

Love the SCTV reference ! Bobby Bittman “How ARE YA ?” – Classic !
Thanks for sharing the SCTV video, that was a great show back in the early 80’s when I used to watch it a lot. The great thing about YouTube is that you can find old shows like this. Eugene Levy sort of reminds me of Cook E Jarr, the lounge singer with the wig and all the jewelry. I think he still plays at the Carnival Court at Harrahs.
Gaming news and an SCTV reference? Bravo!
