OVERVIEW
Gaming is the largest sector in Canada’s entertainment industry and employs 130,000 Canadians (directly and indirectly) and pays out over $2bn in wages and buys in over $4bn worth of goods each year. Gaming brings in some €16bn in revenue each year in total which has tripled since 1995. The casino sector (including racetrack slot operations) is the largest sector and accounts for 52 per cent of the revenue followed by the lotteries and then VLTs.
Meanwhile the division between provinces in terms of gaming income is led by Ontario 35.8 per cent and followed by Quebec 18.8 per cent, Alberta 16.4 per cent, British Columbia 13.5 per cent, Manitoba 4.8 per cent, Saskatchewan 4.8 per cent, Nova Scotia 2.6 per cent and New Brunswick 1.6 per cent.
Bill C290 is currently being discussed in Canada to permit legal online sports betting. At the moment Canadians can only make parlay bets. This will amend the law to allow wagering on the outcome of single sporting events. It is estimated that Canadians are wagering around $450m annually on parlay bets with provincial sports lottery games but also wagering $14bn on single sporting events via offshore sites.
