Swintt hopes Lucky Days casino partnership brings good fortune in Ontario

Gaming provider Swintt has teamed up with Lucky7 in Ontario, as well as across Scandinavia.

The Malta-based company’s slate of slots will be available on Lucky7’s brands, including the Lucky Days online casino that is licensed and operational in Ontario.

Lucky Days will host not only all SwinttPremium and SwinttSelect games but also titles from Elysium Studios. Swintt acquired the studio last year and now offers a Elysium Studios Driven by Swintt line of content.

“The timing of this partnership with Lucky7 is perfect, as it will not only help us put our titles in front of a wider audience but also allow the network to offer an even stronger range of modern gaming options,” said Lars Kollind, head of business development at Swintt.

“As a brand with a strong focus on regulated markets, it’s important for Lucky7 to constantly stay on top of evolving tastes and preferences of our customers,” added Klara Sedlarikova, casino manager at Lucky7. “By adding Swintt titles to our network we’ll be able to offer our players an even wider choice of quality content, all of which has been designed with this modern, tech-savvy audience in mind.”

Swintt follows Lucky Days into Ontario

Lucky Days went live in Ontario in 2022 through a partnership Gaming Innovation Group (GiG). The province was the casino brand’s second market entry with GiG following Sweden.

Meanwhile, Swintt received its supplier license from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) last May, facilitating its first entry into a regulated North American market. Swintt had previously been focused on Europe and was already operational in 10 countries including Malta, Germany and the Netherlands.

CEO David Mann said at the time that the company received AGCO approval that it has the chance to take the Ontario market “by storm.”

“Swintt is excited about entering the regulated Canadian market for the first time and the company has high hopes that the approval will further underline its credentials as a leading global provider,” said the company.

Altenar adds Optimove’s Opti-X personalization platform

Sports betting and iGaming software provider Altenar has integrated Optimove’s Digital Experience Platform (DXP), Opti-X, to help operators boost engagement, personalization and lifetime value from a player’s first visit.

Loto-Québec reports profits grew last quarter

In its latest quarterly update, Loto-Québec posted single-digit increases in both revenue and net income for the final quarter of the 2024 calendar year.

In Canadian Q3 2024-25, running from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, the crown corporation generated $734.2 million in total revenue, up 5.1% year-over-year from Q3 FY 2023-24. Net income was $360.5 million, a 6.3% year-over-year increase.

While those dollar amounts were both increases over the same quarter last year, they were down 9.8% and 14.5% from the July 1 to Sept. 30, 2024, period.

For the full year so far, from April 1 to Dec. 31, 2024, revenue is at $2.23 billion (up 6% year-over-year) and net income is $1.13 billion (up 5.2%).

President and CEO Jean-François Bergeron said the results show that the crown corp. is on track to hit its income goal for the fiscal year.

“Loto-Québec remains on track, with very good financial results that surpass last year’s,” said Bergeron. “This strong performance moves us closer to achieving our annual net income target. We’re very proud of it, especially since it ultimately benefits all of Quebec.”

Bergeron added that the annual uptick was helped by a strong performance over the holiday season. “The lineup of activities was appealing, as the increase in traffic shows,” he noted.

Casino sector on course for record year

Loto-Québec breaks down its revenues into three categories: casino and gaming halls, gaming establishments (including sports betting, VLTs in hospitality establishments, bingo and other offerings) and lottery products.

Casino and gaming halls make the most revenue. From April 1 to Dec. 31, 2024, that sector provided $906.8 million in revenue, 40.7% of total revenues. Lottery produced $703.4 million (31.5%) and other gaming establishments yielded $645.5 million ($28.9 million).

Loto-Québec’s release noted that puts the casino and gaming halls vertical on course for an all-time record year.

Loto-Québec unveils major deals

Last quarter, Loto-Québec began to see the effects of multiple new online and retail casino gaming offerings.

At the end of September, just before Canadian Q3 started, it launched the first cross-platform mystery jackpot using Light & Wonder technology. The progressive jackpot game, SUPER CAGNOTTE, is available through Loto-Québec’s online gaming portal including lotoquebec.com, as well on COSMIC gaming machines on casino floors.

The following week, B2B gaming provider Inspired Entertainment announced that Loto-Québec would be the first operator in Canada to offer its new Hybrid Dealer Roulette game.

And in November, casino livestreaming specialists awager unveiled its third product version with Loto-Québec, an immersive gaming experience with real-time interaction and 4K streaming from Casino de Montréal.

The lottery also signed up Canadian games developer Bragg Gaming Group last month, giving the supplier access to the province. Loto-Québec’s online platforms now offer exclusive games from Bragg’s in-house suite of content studios, as well as titles from multiple content partners under the Powered By Bragg program.

Loto-Québec is the only government-recognized regulated online gaming operator in Québec but there is a significant unregulated market. Bergeron estimates that the crown corp. holds 60% of the province’s total iGaming and online sports betting market, although H2 Gambling Capital data suggests its share is more like 44%.

Century Casinos CEOs suggest company may consider Canada withdrawal

On a quarterly earnings call on Thursday, Century Casinos’ co-CEOs suggested they are open to selling off their Canadian operations.

Colorado-based Century operates four casinos in Alberta. The firm sold the real estate assets of Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton, Century Casino St. Albert, Century Downs Racetrack and Casino and Century Mile Racetrack and Casino to VICI Properties in 2023, leasing them back from the buyer.

As well as those four casinos and the 11 it operates in the U.S. across Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada and West Virginia, Century also holds a controlling 66.6% stake in Casinos Poland Ltd., owner and operator of seven Polish casinos.

However, executives confirmed on Thursday that they are looking to divest those Polish operations and a similar exit route could be considered in Alberta.

“With regard to the non-U. S. properties, divesting of those entities is an option and is under consideration,” said co-CEO Erwin Heitzmann.

“For a very long time, both Canada and Europe had a very positive impact on EBITDA and cash flow,” added fellow chief executive Peter Hoetzinger. “Now, this impact is much lower and that’s why we’ve taken the decision to divest Poland, and we are considering Canada.

“Management owns close to 15% of the company, so our interests are aligned. Being a public company, anything is possible in terms of the future. Some other people are knocking on our doors, as you can imagine, with a low share price. So we are doing what we can and then we’ll see what others say.”

If that did happen, it would open the door for another operator to take over the day-to-day running of the properties. Something similar happened in Alberta in December, when Indigenous Gaming Partners (IGP) bought the operating assets of Pure Canadian Gaming. Pure’s casino real estate has also been owned by VICI since 2023.

Century’s SVP of Operations, Canada, Geoff Smith, told Canadian Gaming Business that “if the price is right and if it is beneficial for the shareholders, every property is available, be it in Canada, Europe or the U.S.”

“As the business volume of our Canadian operations is relatively small in comparison to the U.S. segment, we are not surprised that the question comes up,” he added.

Century’s Canadian revenue dips

On Thursday, Century presented a 4% year-over-year drop in operating revenues to $137.8 million and a 388% jump in losses to $36.2 million for the last quarter. Net loss attributable to shareholders for the quarter was $64.9 million, a change of 500%.

A factor in that was the one-time $43.7 million impairment the company took on the value of Nugget Casino Resort in Nevada, attributed to “estimated market conditions and performance.”

In Canada, revenue was down by 7% for the quarter and EBITDA dipped 17%, which executives put down to lower table hold (down from 17% to 15%) as well as “strong headwinds.” Century’s Canadian operations reported a quarterly profit of $3.6 million, and net operating revenue in Canada was up 1% across the full year of 2024.

The overall decline in fortunes has seen Century’s stock price drop in recent times, as alluded to by Hoetzinger.

Their comments on divestiture were made during the Q&A session after one irked shareholder questioned the company’s business model and suggested it may be time to focus on the U.S. operations and “leave all this other nonsense behind over in Poland and these Canadian assets.”

For now, Century preparing for Alberta iGaming

Although an Alberta divestiture may be a possibility, for now, Century Casinos is preparing for the eventual arrival of a commercial online gaming and betting market in the province.

“The short answer is we just don’t know what will be happening,” acknowledged Heitzmann. “There is much talk, but nothing is definitive yet on how and when, so we can’t really make any decisions. What we can say is that if it comes, it is very unlikely that if we do it ourselves, we very likely would take a third party like we’ve done in the past.” The co-CEOs said the company would take the same approach in Missouri’s upcoming online sports betting market.

Games studio Evoplay approved to supply to Ontario operators

European online game developer Evoplay is now a licensed iGaming supplier in Ontario.

The award-winning studio has been authorized by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) to begin supplying content and services to approved online casino operators in the province.

Evoplay’s two-year license is effective March 12 and runs until March 11, 2027.

It is the company’s first entry into online gaming in North America. Entering one of the continent’s most lucrative online gaming markets offers a significant opportunity for Evoplay to further strengthen its international reach and expand its user base.

“Receiving an Ontario licence is a significant milestone for us as we expand into North America,” said Ihor Zarechnyi, chief commercial officer at Evoplay. “Ontario’s iGaming market has grown significantly, and we’re excited to bring our content to local players while building strong partnerships with operators in the region.”

Zarechnyi was promoted to CCO in February and leads the company’s commercial operations, including spearheading efforts to expand into new markets and well as forging new commercial partnerships.

In Evoplay’s year-end results for 2024, the company said it launched 32 new titles spanning slots, instant play, crash games and new tap and skill-based genres. It vaunted a 42% increase in the number of users across its content portfolio. Evoplay’s gaming partners include Light & Wonder.

Evoplay is one of a number of suppliers to step into Ontario’s regulated market in recent weeks.

Last week, Finnish Lottery subsidiary Fennica Gaming received its AGCO license and Malta-based RubyPlay got the green light last month.

The suppliers enter a market that has more than 1.1 million active player accounts across all commercial regulated online casinos. Since the market opened in April 2022, the online casino vertical has produced more than $4.5 billion in GGR for operators conducted and managed by iGaming Ontario (iGO).

Snuneymuxw First Nation: A long-awaited step into casino gaming

Over the past nine months, the Snuneymuxw First Nation in British Columbia has taken steps into casino ownership, purchasing two Great Canadian Entertainment casino resorts in the province.

These deals — Casino Nanaimo in June 2024 and Elements Casino Victoria in September 2024 — were orchestrated by Petroglyph Development Group (PDG), a wholly-owned corporation of the First Nation. They were officially completed in January 2025.

PDG’s CEO Ian Simpson tells Canadian Gaming Business that Snuneymuxw had been “kicking the tires” on some potential gaming acquisitions for the past few years, but the possibility only really materialized in early 2024.

“It really came to a head at the beginning of the year when we engaged with Great Canadian Entertainment on the potential acquisition of Casino Nanaimo, meeting with their senior team and coming to the realization that Casino Nanaimo, right in our backyard, was available,” Simpson says.

The CEO also divulges that Snuneymuxw had been looking at assets elsewhere in B.C. and in other provinces before following up on the Nanaimo deal with the acquisition of Elements Casino Victoria a few months later.

Step into casino ownership a long-term goal

Simpson notes that casino ownership had been the goal for Snuneymuxw and PDG since well before his time. The first real attempt took place around the 1990s with a concerted effort from Snuneymuxw’s leadership back in the day.

Although it didn’t work out at the time, or since, the CEO says gaming culture has always been ingrained within Snuneymuxw.

“Gaming culture is very much part of the fabric of Snuneymuxw.”

“It’s certainly been a goal of previous leadership of Snuneymuxw and our elders to bring a casino under the ownership of Snuneymuxw. Gaming culture is very much part of the fabric of Snuneymuxw and there’s been a strong desire for many decades now for a casino to be owned by our nation.”

Upon the announcement of the Elements acquisition, Simpson said the casino would “unlock unprecedented economic potential for Snuneymuxw and PDG” and pave the way for “transformative growth in Snuneymuxw’s economy and the profits that PDG returns to our Nation”.

The PDG CEO explains that comes down to the profits the casino currently generates from its operations that will be available to grow its own business, including the casino operations, as well as return dividends to the nation.

“It’s going to be a pretty monumental task for us to take on these operations. They are essentially more than double the size of our organization here at PDG once we flip the switch.”

“We have a lot of work between now and then, and a lot of work has gone into it over the last year to be ready for that.”

Simpson adds that the casino acquisitions will produce career opportunities for its members, as the two operations create almost 250 jobs. However, it doesn’t mean that the current staff at the casinos will be replaced.

“One of the main reasons we’ve struck a deal with Great Canadian is the teams that they’ve built at both of these operations. We’re not looking to push anyone out of these jobs. They’ve got incredible teams in place at both of these casinos, they’re very well-oiled machines that are doing an incredible job at what they do.”

PDG CEO has also recruited people with “decades of gaming experience” to assist with the operations, including people who have previously been employed by Great Canadian.

“We’re managing to put together a very capable and experienced team of managers to supplement the incredible management that the operations themselves have, both Casino Nanaimo and Elements,” Simpson notes.

“Great Canadian has a very large admin staff that we’re not acquiring, but they have individual property employees we are acquiring. They have support staff above each individual property that we have coverage for during this transition period for the next couple of years. Beyond that, we’ll have to have those staff in place going forward.”

Reclaiming Native land

As part of the Nanaimo deal, the land on which the casino is located, a part of the Snuneymuxw xwsol’lexwel village, will be returned to the First Nation upon the acquisition’s closing.

It was of utmost importance for the First Nation to reacquire these sites, stresses Simpson.

“It’s important to the nation for us to be reacquiring these sites by whatever means necessary. In this transaction, we’re paying market value for land that was taken from us, which is bittersweet, but we’re really happy to have it brought back to us.

“Over the last five years in particular, we’ve been very aggressive in reacquiring lands along our waterfront here in Snuneymuxw and off-reserve as well and throughout the Nanaimo waterfront. We have a few redevelopment and development projects ongoing in Nanaimo and have been just adding to that portfolio of our real estate assets that were former village sites.”

“Other First Nations can follow that same path for the benefit of their own nations. I’m quite confident we’ll see that in the not-too-distant future.”

Could what happened on Vancouver Island in 2024 between Great Canadian Entertainment and Snuneymuxw be replicated on First Nations land in other parts of Canada?

“Absolutely,” Simpson says. “I think what we’ve done in conjunction with Great Canadian Entertainment and the First Nations Finance Authority is created a pathway that other nations that have strong governments and strong economic development groups could follow down and replicate that same path that we took to acquire other operations.

“Other nations in B.C. and even across Canada can follow that same path that we’ve gone down to acquire these gaming assets for the benefit of their own nations. I’m quite confident we’ll see that in the not-too-distant future.”

Alberta charities can use more gaming profits without AGLC approval

The Alberta government has tweaked the province’s unique charitable gaming model to allow charities to keep and use more money from gaming operations without the need for approval from Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC).

Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Dale Nally said on Monday that the province has eliminated 60% of its rules around charitable gaming and how funds can be spent.

Starting from April 1, charities will be able to keep up to $50,000 in profits (up from the previous limit of $10,000) and newly use $100,000 of gaming proceeds to conduct community events, both without needing AGLC approval.

In addition, the limit for use of funds for facility renovations and leasehold improvements has been doubled to $100,000, the limit for administrative expenses has increased to 30% from 20% and approvals for all travel have been eliminated.

A government release said that the new changes “shift the focus of AGLC policy to the types of activities and programming a charity can use their gaming revenue for, rather than based on their organization type.”

“Government needs to get out the way,” says Nally

Nally said at a news conference on Monday that “this will give organizations the resources and freedom they need to make a real difference.” He added that while he believes there needs to be some oversight of charitable gaming, the province is open to discussions on how they may further modify the rules in the future.

“We believe that government needs to get out of the way of charities,” he added.

Alberta is the only Canadian province that licenses charities to run casino events to help support their operations. There are six AGLC-licensed Host First Nations casinos operating in Alberta on reserve land, each of which partners with a dedicated charity.

One of those Host Casinos is River Cree Resort and Casino outside of Edmonton. River Cree’s CEO and General Manager Vik Mahajan told Canadian Gaming Business that the measure is intended to “ease up” on some of the rules around charities and give them more free rein on how to spend their financial proceeds from gaming.

In 2024, more than 23,000 charities in the province participated in casino events. In 2023 and 2024, charity gaming events yielded more than $409 million for charities, $79 million of which was raised by the host First Nations charities.

“Alberta’s unique charitable gaming model supports over 23,000 charities in their work every year,” said AGLC CEO Kandice Machado. “The added flexibility in how charitable groups can use their earnings will help them continue to make a real difference for Albertans and communities throughout our province.”

Change comes as Alberta continues to explore iGaming

While these changes purely concern charitable gaming, it comes as Nally’s office continues to explore the best path forward to launching commercial online gaming.

One of the ministry’s first steps last year was to consult with First Nations communities starting last summer. Nally said at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas last fall that “we are going to treat First Nations as partners in prosperity.”

“They want to have a role in this iGaming market,” he added at the time. “They’re not sure what it looks like right now. Is it going to be a partnership with a current operator? Is it going to be a consortium of First Nations that come together to launch their own brand? I don’t know where they’re going to land. Time will tell.”

Shortly before those G2E comments, Nally’s office confirmed to CGB that they were pushing back the prospective timeline for launching an iGaming market to further consult with stakeholders. The hope is that the market will launch later this year, but multiple commercial gaming operators have pushed back their own projections to 2026.

Canadian provinces rejecting US gaming equipment amid tariff war

The tariff war between Canada and the U.S. is pervading Canadian gaming.

As part of retaliatory action amid President Donald Trump’s economic measures against Canada, including a since-delayed 25% tariff on all goods exported from Canada to the U.S., the government of Alberta has banned the purchase of slot machines and video lottery terminals (VLTs) from American-based suppliers.

Alberta Gaming Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) issued a directive on March 6 stating that it would henceforth only purchase gaming equipment from companies that have support services in Alberta or countries that “share a free trade agreement with Canada.” It suspended the procurement of gaming terminals from U.S.-based suppliers that day.

“AGLC’s Gaming Division operations relative to the purchase of ancillary support products (ie. Slot Machine and VLT Parts) and our Lease network will continue at this time,” added the statement.

Canadian Gaming Business reached out to AGLC for further comment and was redirected to the Ministry of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction, which did not reply before the time of publication.

As reported by the Nevada Independent’s Howard Stutz, Eilers & Krejcik Gaming estimates that Alberta accounts for roughly 4% of all American and Canadian sales by major manufacturers of slots and VLTs. Overall,  Canada makes up 16% of the total.

Far from just Alberta; other provinces restricting US businesses

Meanwhile, in Saskatchewan, Premier Scott Moe has ordered Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan (LGS) to source VLT and slot machine upgrades from non-U.S. suppliers.

Some $43 million of VLT and slots currently procured from the U.S. are due to be upgraded this year. LGS told CGB that the agency is currently investigating supplier options but “at present, we do not expect that this will affect the operations or services that are delivered by LGS’s gaming operators.”

Further west in British Columbia, Premier David Eby confirmed that the government, including crown corporations such as the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC), “will be buying Canadian first, then non-U.S. products.”

CGB understands that the provincial Ministry of Finance sent a directive to BCLC, among many other crown corporations, as one part of its response. There is thought to be an exemption process in the eventuality that no non-American alternative for certain equipment can be sourced.

BCLC told CGB in a statement that the directive it received, which was to exclude U.S. suppliers from any new procurements of goods or services, applies to new contracts for slot machines but does not include upgrades.

On the opposite coast, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston has prohibited American companies from bidding on provincial business, and the province is “actively seeking options to cancel existing contracts and reject bids outright.”

In Manitoba, Premier Wab Kinew introduced the Buy Canadian Act, which amends the Government Purchases Act to establish a buy Canadian policy across government and allow for preferential treatment to be given to a Canadian supplier when purchasing goods.

While several provinces have taken action that affects the gaming industry, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) confirmed to CGB that it has not received any directives as of March 14.

DraftKings Casino adds bespoke Blackjack tables in Ontario

DraftKings has teamed up with Games Global studio OnAir Entertainment to add four bespoke online blackjack games to its casino platform in Ontario.

Two exclusive VIP tables as well as Lakeside and Chateau games, with corresponding immersive scenic backdrops, will be delivered through the studio’s chroma key technology. The tables will operate 24/7 and will be broadcast from OnAir Entertainment’s studio in Tbilisi, Georgia.

“DraftKings is one of the most prominent and well-respected operators in North America, and we look forward to enhancing its product offering with best-in-class, bespoke blackjack tables,” said Joann Pierce, chief commercial officer at Games Global.

“OnAir Entertainment continually delivers exceptional live casino titles, and we have no doubt that these four tables will resonate with DraftKings’ Ontario players.”

Founded in 2020, OnAir Entertainment leverages over a century of knowledge from its industry professionals with a proven history in live casino, with the aim of delivering innovative and personalised experiences for players around the world.

Just last week, it partnered with MGM-owned LeoVegas on bespoke live casino content, introducing three new live blackjack tables – Bellagio Blackjack, MGM Grand Blackjack and New York-New York Blackjack – to add to the LeoVegas Exclusive Roulette and BetMGM Exclusive Roulette it launched in late December.

DraftKings continues to add to online casino portfolio

Ontario’s online casino market is highly lucrative, with the sector making up 83% of total online gaming handle and 70% of total online gaming gross revenue in the province as of January 2025. In less than three years of its open market, Ontario regulated online gaming has produced total GGR of more than $6.5 billion, around $4.7 billion of which has come from online casinos.

DraftKings has been part of the market since its early days and continues to build on its Casino platform. In January, it added Relax Gaming’s portfolio of content in the province.

Caesars first operator to launch branded version of Pixiu Gaming’s Keno

Caesars has become the first online casino operator to launch a branded version of Pixiu Gaming’s Keno title, Lucky Bonus Draw Keno.

Online casino players on Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino in Ontario, as well as New Jersey, can now play a Caesars-branded version titled Caesars Palace Bonus Draw Keno.

“The widespread appeal of Lucky Bonus Draw Keno is undeniable, and we couldn’t be happier to infuse this classic game with a distinctive Caesars flair for our digital platforms,” said Matthew Sunderland, SVP and chief iGaming officer at Caesars Digital. “The launch of Caesars Palace Lucky Draw Keno underscores our dedication to offering tailored content that embodies our brand’s core values for our online casino players.”

Caesars Palace Lucky Draw Keno evokes the iconic Caesars Palace casino in Las Vegas, with the brand prominently featured in the gameplay.

Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino each off an online casino experience with a range of unique Caesars-branded games alongside hundreds of classic land-based casino favorites, including high-limit slots, private live dealer tables, linked progressive jackpots, variations of poker and roulette and more.

Caesars brought its latest brand, Horseshoe Online Casino, north of the border into Ontario last November. The platform is the digital version of the formerly retail-only Horseshoe brand and its launch expanded Caesars’ multi-brand iGaming strategy.

Caesars executives stated last year that while Horseshoe is not expected to compete with Caesars’ other two online gaming brands in terms of dollars captured, it offers another high-class tailorable experience for players.

In Ontario, Caesars not only operates those three digital brands but also the Caesars Windsor casino and resort near the border with Detroit.
