Gaming grants provided $251 million in 2022-23 to non-profit groups and organizations in Saskatchewan. These grants included funding for sport, culture, arts as well as volunteer firefighters, wildlife conservation, service clubs and more.
Saskatchewan has 9 casinos. In partnership with LGS, SIGA operates 7 casinos – Gold Horse (Lloydminster), Gold Eagle (North Battleford), Northern Lights (Prince Albert), Living Sky (Swift Current), Painted Hand (Yorkton), Bear Claw (North of Carlyle). SaskGaming,
a wholly owned subsidiary of LGS, operates Casinos Regina and Moose Jaw.
There are over 1,000 Lotto Spot Retailers in Saskatchewan. LGS oversees conduct and management of lottery operations and SaskLotteries is responsible for operations. Through agreement, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba manage ticket lotteries on a regional basis and authorize WCLC to operate lottery activities.
