MISSISSAUGA, ON – Ontario’s Charitable Bingo and Gaming Revitalization initiative is marking an important milestone in Mississauga. More than $3.75 million has been raised and has benefited the 32 charities which are part of the Mississauga Charitable Gaming Association as a result of the revitalization of charitable bingo and gaming.

This program, which began over a decade ago, is delivered through a partnership between Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), the Ontario Charitable Gaming Association (OCGA), the Commercial Gaming Association of Ontario (CGAO), local charities and gaming and bingo centre operators.

Rama Gaming Centre Mississauga hosted the official celebration for the $3.75 million milestone, as this location converted to a Charitable Gaming Centre in 2013. Today’s event was attended by Bob Delaney, MPP Mississauga-Streetsville, Rick Gray, Vice President, Charitable Gaming at OLG, and Lynn Cassidy, Executive Director of the Ontario Charitable Gaming Association.

“I am impressed with the work that has been done locally through the revitalization of Charitable Gaming,” said Bob Delaney, MPP Mississauga-Streetsville. “It is quite an achievement to raise $3.75 million to benefit local charities and non-profit organizations within our community. I want to commend the staff at Rama Mississauga, OLG, and most importantly, the many charities and their volunteers who have helped reach this milestone and continue to make the City of Mississauga a great community.”

“OLG is proud of the Charitable Bingo and Gaming Revitalization initiative and the role we play in providing sustainable revenue sources to the charities that serve the City of Mississauga,” said Rick Gray, Vice President, Charitable Gaming at OLG.

“Today is celebrating the wonderful success of Charitable Gaming in Mississauga,” said Lynn Cassidy, Executive Director of the OCGA. “This initiative is making a big difference to many local charities that provide important programs and services.”

Background on Charitable Gaming in Ontario

In the past 10 years, OLG has been working with the CGAO and the OCGA to revitalize the province’s Charitable Bingo and Gaming industry. By developing and introducing new products and technologies that have invigorated the traditional charitable gaming experience, more money has been generated for thousands of local charities across the province. The revitalization initiative is preserving and enhancing funding for charities across Ontario while creating economic benefits, including employment opportunities at local charitable gaming centres.

A pilot program was started in 2005 to test electronic versions of existing paper-based bingo games with six charity bingo centres in five communities in Ontario.

Following the success of this pilot project, a phased rollout of a new suite of electronic games was introduced to other charitable gaming sites in the province. This started in 2012.  The new charitable games offer customers more choice, and complement existing paper bingo games:

• Electronic Bingo: Charitable Gaming Centres offer terminals with touch screens that allow players to touch the screen to dab the numbers and play along.
• Play On Demand (POD): A collection of electronic games that can be played anytime, with great prizes to be won.
• Tap Tix: The evolution of the classic Break Open Ticket features an interactive display screen on a ticket dispenser.

The new games allow Charitable Gaming Centres to offer more customer choice and appeal to a broader demographic, while providing a different gaming entertainment experience from traditional bingo.

In total, 31 Charitable Gaming Centres have raised more than $155 million in additional money for local charities and their communities.

As part of the revitalization, OLG assisted in introducing Responsible Gambling Resource Centres (RGRC’s) at all of the 31 Charitable Gaming Centres.  The RGRC’s, managed by the Responsible Gambling Council of Ontario, offer effective educational tools and resources to build awareness and understanding of the risks associated with, and strategies to prevent, problem gambling.

Each RGRC has information available on the following topics:

• Safer play strategies
• Gambling myths and facts
• Community agencies that support people with gambling concerns

OLG is the Ontario government agency that delivers gaming entertainment in a socially responsible manner. OLG conducts and manages gaming facilities, the sale of province-wide lottery games, PlayOLG Internet gaming, the delivery of bingo and other electronic gaming products at Charitable Gaming Centres and is helping to build a more sustainable horse racing industry in Ontario.

SAULT STE. MARIE, ON – OLG (Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation) is pleased to announce the five-year extension of its contract with Pollard Banknote Limited (Pollard Banknote) to print lottery Instant tickets. The extended contract will increase the current contract value by approximately $100 million.

Over the next five years, OLG expects to purchase more than one billion Instant tickets from Pollard, who in turn will increase jobs at its Instant Ticket Finishing Plant in Sault Ste. Marie from the current 65 positions to 100 full-time positions by January 31, 2018. Wages at Pollard are also expected to grow by an additional $1.2 million.

“OLG is committed to maintaining strong partnerships with private sector companies like Pollard Banknote to help us deliver a great experience to customers and to generate increased revenue for the Province.

Pollard Banknote has increased their production volumes over fivefold and doubled their employee levels at their Sault Ste. Marie finishing plant since becoming OLG’s primary Instant ticket supplier in 2007. This growth reflects the development of Ontario’s lottery business and the strong results achieved by its employees in Sault Ste. Marie.

“Pollard Banknote remains a strong partner of OLG, and we are committed to the City of Sault Ste. Marie and to generating funds for good causes in the province of Ontario,” said Douglas Pollard, Co-CEO of Pollard Banknote. “We are very proud of our growth in Sault Ste. Marie. Our Sault operation has been an innovation leader in our company, developing new methods to drive our manufacturing efficiency. And we are thrilled that the leadership and hard work of our dedicated staff are being rewarded with this contract extension and the additional jobs being created in Sault Ste. Marie.”

In 2015-2016, OLG’s lottery sales were a record $3.8 billion. Instant tickets such as Bingo, Crossword and Cash for Life are a significant part of OLG’s lottery business with annual sales of over $1.1 billion.
