You can guess that this will have a major impact on the experience of many fans and spectators who will show up at the Bell Centre.
It also raises a big social debate, fueled by many observers, citizens, stakeholders and users of the amphitheater.
Especially because it's scientifically proven that the closer you live to a gambling hall, the more likely you are to gamble excessively.
To help pass this project, the promoters are committed to reducing the number of lottery terminals elsewhere in Montreal, but it will obviously take more to convince the skeptics.
So that's to be watched over the next few hours, but it would truly be on the verge of being announced.
Fans would have, for example, the opportunity to go bet on the games right at the Bell Center and as they see fit (before the game, during the game and during intermissions). The temptation will obviously be much more present for some.
