WITH its ever supporting customers in mind, the Aracari Resort on Friday opened with a bang, its Lotto Blast Mini Casino to the public.

At a special function for shortlisted invitees and the media, the resort’s management opened the doors to the spanking 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 Lotto blast machines with every intention of carting off large winnings.
Speaking at the official launch yesterday, 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 (GLC). He said that 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 guest properly entertained during their stay, as well as, provide ‘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 24 machines, a sophisticated beverage bar and space that allows mingling and friendly interaction. Cutting the ribbon to declare the mini casino open on Friday, was five-year-old Andy Tulsie Shewnarain, son of the Aracari Resort’s CEO, Sase Shewnarain.
