A Hamilton Chamber of Commerce survey released Wednesday shows its members are divided on where and what kind of casino they'd like to see — if any — in the city.
About half of the 453 respondants said they would support a casino at the existing Flamborough location, while 23 per cent were opposed to Flamborough and 23 per cent said they were indifferent.
While 67 per cent were against a standalone downtown casino, 46 per cent said they would be in favour if the casino development included a hotel and entertainment facility.
"The survey indicates that the Chamber's membership is evenly divided between support for the existing casino location in Flamborough and for a downtown casino/entertainment complex. The survey clearly showed that Chamber members do not support a standalone downtown casino," David Adames, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce, said in a press release.
The survey — conducted between January 30 and February 15 — found most respondents ranked the economic benefit of jobs and tax revenue as their top reason for supporting a casino. Social and moral concerns were their top reasons to oppose a casino.
Of the respondents, 51.4 per cent were business owners and 37 per cent were managers.
