Casinos/Dance Halls

Industry Code: 85916

Compulsory

This industry covers casino (governed by The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission) and dance hall operators.

Operation Details:

Casino operators provide games of chance such as cards, roulette, baccarat, slot machines, etc., to the general public of age of majority and hire workers such as card dealers, game operators, pit staff, cashiers, supervisors, etc.

Dance halls are open dances usually attended by juveniles (18 years and under), where a disc jockey or band is playing music for the enjoyment of the clients and dancing is encouraged.

Concessions operated in conjunction with the casino or dance hall, and run by the casino or dance hall operator, are considered part of this industry.

Underwriting Considerations:

If a non profit organization (church, community association, etc.) has volunteers working a casino as part of the fund raising of the overall operations of the organization, the working of the casino is considered part of the non profit organization.

A "Rave" dance hall caters to young adolescents from approx. 16 years old and up and encourages them to dance. There is no liquor or food sold. The companies which put on these dances promote, advertise, provide ticket sales, arrange the entertainment (usually electronically produced music played by a disc jockey) and create the entire ambiance for the "Rave". These types of businesses are classified in this industry.
