A group of 10 First Nations in Saskatchewan say they will build a Hard Rock casino complex in downtown Regina if the province agrees to sell two casinos.
The Independent First Nations of Saskatchewan are working with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, the owner of the Hard Rock brand. The $1.2 billion project includes a stadium for the Roughriders, a hotel and a casino.
The complex hinges on the sale of province-owned casinos in Regina and Moose Jaw. The tribes want the province to contribution a portion of the sale towards construction.
The Saskatchewan Gaming Corporation, which operates the casino, says it doesn't plan on selling them.
