Manitoba to Give Gaming Revenue to Aboriginal Groups

According to the Winnipeg Sun, the government of Manitoba has agreed to give aboriginal groups in that province $4 million a year from provincial gaming revenue over the next five years. Currently, aboriginal groups keep the gaming revenue from on-reserve casinos and 90% of the revenue from on-reserve video lottery terminals. Aboriginal groups in the province are also lobbying to regulate on-reserve gambling, a move which, if approved, would result in the creation of a second and separate gaming regulatory body in Manitoba. It would oversee gaming on reserves and would replace the Manitoba Gaming Control Commission as the gaming authority for on-reserve gaming.
