Canada Casino City’s North American Gaming Almanac 19 Canada Canadian gaming has been administered and regulated at the provincial level since 1969. There are various regulations for each province, but in general, Canadians can avail themselves of all the major forms of gambling, including casinos (commercial, tribal and charitable), lotteries, pari-mutuel wagering, parlay sports betting, online gaming and charitable gaming. The gaming industry saw significant growth during the 1990s, when provincial governments began legalizing permanent casinos and VLTs. British Columbia became the first province to offer an online casino when it launched PlayNow.com in 2010. Several more offer it now. While parlay betting in sports is legal, single-game sports betting is currently banned at the federal level. In 2012, the House of Commons passed legislation that would allow betting on single games. In March 2021, the Canadian Parliament committee unanimously passed an amended bill to legalize single-game sports betting in the country. 2020 Revenue 2020 Change in Gaming Revenue Revenue by Gaming Activity Revenue in Millions CAD 2017 2018 2019 2020 Casino/Card Rooms 10,135.63 9,186.19 8,335.04 3,551.53 Charitable Gaming 824.67 865.77 778.83 416.11 Lotteries 3,943.32 4,110.93 4,019.96 4,002.94 Online Gaming 145.19 187.75 243.90 618.95 Race Wagering 308.97 304.98 295.68 240.92 Tribal Gaming 234.20 240.21 247.95 123.75 Total 15,591.98 14,895.83 13,921.36 8,954.20 Revenue Change from Prior Year 2017 2018 2019 2020 Casino/Card Rooms 1.29% -9.37% -9.27% -57.39% Charitable Gaming 4.83% 4.98% -10.04% -46.57% Lotteries -0.12% 4.25% -2.21% -0.42% Online Gaming 45.89% 29.32% 29.91% 153.77% Race Wagering -1.66% -1.29% -3.05% -18.52% Tribal Gaming -0.94% 2.56% 3.22% -50.09% All Gaming Activities 1.30% -4.46% -6.54% -35.68% Revenue in US Dollars Revenue in Millions USD 2017 2018 2019 2020 Casino/Card Rooms 7,817.60 7,095.09 6,282.26 2,648.24 Charitable Gaming 636.21 667.92 586.99 310.36 Lotteries 3,041.44 3,171.37 3,029.96 2,986.90 Online Gaming 112.18 144.70 183.86 461.99 Race Wagering 238.29 235.35 222.87 179.77 Tribal Gaming 180.63 185.33 186.89 92.29 Total 12,026.36 11,499.76 10,492.83 6,679.55 Inflation Adjusted Revenue Revenue in Millions 2021 CAD 2017 2018 2019 2020 Casino/Card Rooms 11,190.29 9,919.92 8,828.28 3,734.61 Charitable Gaming 910.43 934.59 825.10 437.55 Lotteries 4,353.65 4,437.65 4,257.41 4,208.86 Online Gaming 160.21 202.61 258.09 650.76 Race Wagering 341.13 329.25 313.10 253.32 Tribal Gaming 258.58 259.31 262.54 130.13 Total 17,214.29 16,083.32 14,744.53 9,415.23 Inflation-Adjusted Revenue Change From Prior Year 2017 2018 2019 2020 Casino/Card Rooms -0.30% -11.35% -11.00% -57.70% Charitable Gaming 3.18% 2.65% -11.72% -46.97% Lotteries -1.70% 1.93% -4.06% -1.14% Online Gaming 43.58% 26.46% 27.39% 152.14% Race Wagering -3.21% -3.48% -4.90% -19.10% Tribal Gaming -2.51% 0.28% 1.25% -50.44% All Gaming Activities -0.29% -6.57% -8.32% -36.14%
