History of Gaming Regulation

2006

Manitoba begins to explore charitable Texas Hold’em events. In response to requests from charitable organizations, the MGCC proceeds with a pilot study to determine whether a suitable licensing model can be established.

Manitoba and AMC look at new options. The Manitoba government and the AMC jointly issue Requests for Proposals for two studies: a feasibility study to assess the establishment of a First Nation Gaming Corporation(s) and a market study to determine opportunities for new casino development.

Manitoba pursues casino development as a means of creating revenue for First Nations communities.
