Discussions to Expand First Nations Regulatory Authority for On-Reserve Charitable Gaming Set to Begin

Released on April 30, 2013

Representatives from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) and Indigenous Gaming Regulators (IGR) are entering into discussions aimed at expanding the regulatory authority of IGR to include the registration of on-reserve charitable gaming employees and suppliers.

“Providing IGR with additional regulatory authority is the next step under the terms of the Gaming Framework Agreement,” Minister responsible for SLGA Donna Harpauer said.  “SLGA will continue to work with IGR to ensure the effective regulation of on-reserve charitable gaming.”

Almost all individuals who work in the province’s gaming industry as well as certain suppliers who provide goods and services need to be registered.  The registration process includes criminal and financial background checks on individuals and suppliers to help ensure the overall integrity of the gaming industry.  All gaming registrations are currently handled by SLGA.

IGR has been responsible for the regulation of most on-reserve charitable gaming since 2007 and is currently licensing on-reserve charitable gaming in the province including bingo, raffles, breakopen tickets, Texas Hold ‘em poker and Monte Carlo events as well as table games at SIGA casinos.
