Playtime Casino in Kelowna is operating as normal on Monday, after a burst pipe caused some flooding Sunday (Jan. 14) afternoon.

General Manager Clarissa Pruden said they were quite lucky that damage was minimal.

Kelowna fire crews were called the business on Water Street just before 3:30 p.m. for a broken sprinkler head.

Pruden said a pipe between the kitchen and the parkade froze and burst, sending water cascading from the second floor near the entrance of the casino.

The building was evacuated briefly, but Pruden said they were back in full swing just a half hour later.
