Canadian Gambling Digest 2007 - 2008

Abstract

The Digest is arranged by subject matter, starting with general industry data (venues, games, charitable gaming licences), followed by revenues, revenue distributions, gambling participation, problem gambling prevalence, and problem gambling assistance (helpline calls, clients, counsellors, on-site support centres). Data in each section is presented in tables and charts. Accompanying text describes the data and highlights some of its more salient features. While considerable effort was made to ensure that the information in a given table or chart is comparable across provinces, this was not always possible due to differences in record keeping and other factors. Unless stated otherwise, all data pertain to fiscal 2007-08 (April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008).
