All of the profits go directly to the government of Quebec.
Future plans
Loto-Québec wants to build a new $1-billion casino and entertainment complex on Peel Peer that would include a hotel and a site for the Cirque du Soleil. The complex would open in 5 years, but still needs to be approved by the city and the provincial government, which could be done by 2007.
