More than 36,000 bar and brasserie owners and employees gain awareness to problem gambling
The Taking Risks Is No Game training course is mandatory for all video lottery retailers and employees assigned to VLTs. The course raises awareness and provides trainees with the tools they need to encourage responsible gambling. More than 36,000 bar and brasserie retailers and employees have taken the training since the program was first launched in 2001.
An accessible art collection
The Collection Loto-Québec is the biggest corporate art collection in Canada. Over the past few years, it has launched cultural heritage projects in several Québec regions, as well as cultural journeys at our four casinos.
