GAMING & LOTTERIES

As various governments in Canada are becoming increasingly dependant upon the revenue

generated from lottery schemes and provincially established and regulated casinos, this area

of the law is rapidly becoming more developed. It involves all facets of gambling, horse and

dog racing, lotteries, casinos, and charitable gaming. The criminal aspects of gambling are

federal in scope, by way of the Criminal Code, but the licensing of gaming and lotteries is a

provincial matter. However, there is some constitutional confusion with regard to gaming on

aboriginal reserves, which are normally deemed to be federal in jurisdiction. Related topics:

Le jeu et le pari sont prévus au Code civil comme contrat nommé. La réglementation des loteries

relève du droit ADMINISTRATIF et les loteries illégales du droit CRIMINEL.
