I would think the Casino would impact more the restaurants/pubs/coffee.

Casinos may draw money from people and put them in the provincial coffers, which is not bad, far from it. Casino's don't bring the spinoff they were so vaunted to bring as gamblers tend to spend their money — and not shopping. The ones who come to Regina's casino are also probably more frugal than the ones going to vegas.
