Manitoba tribes want gaming control; Saskatchewan tribal casinos’ profits up
Tribal groups in the Canadian province of Manitoba are pressing for more control over gambling activity, be it land-based or online.
Representatives of Manitoba’s First Nations wrapped up a two-day assembly this week by authorizing the drafting of a law that will put them back in the driver’s seat and assert their right to control gambling operations.
Manitoba Grand Chief Derek Nepinak (pictured) told the Winnipeg Free Press that the new law the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) is drafting will encompass “the full scope of gaming, games of chance, including electronic and online gaming.” The latter would put the AMC in direct competition with the provincial lottery monopoly, which launched its own version of British Columbia’s PlayNow.com in 2013.
Nepinak said the AMC was hoping for a better relationship with the newly elected Conservative government, which won election in April, ending nearly 17 years of New Democratic Party control.
