- Lower Mainland Casino Impact Study_First Measures Report-2006
-
Casino style gambling has been expanding rapidly over
the last decade in Canada. Gambling is often associated
with a range of positive and negative outcomes for
individuals, local communities and society and is
therefore an important public policy topic. The BC
Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, Gaming
Policy and Enforcement Branch requires research on the
economic and social costs and benefits of increasing
gaming venues to develop responsible policies and
assist provincial and municipal governments and other
stakeholders in community planning. The opening of
four gaming venues in the Lower Mainland (two new
facilities and adding slot machines into two existing
facilities) created an opportunity to study the impacts
of new gaming facilities. These venues are:
★ The addition of slot machines at Fraser Downs racetrack in Surrey (permanent facility opened June 24, 2005).
★ The addition of slot machines at Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver (expected opening in the summer of 2006).
★ The creation of Edgewater Casino in the Plaza of Nations in Vancouver (opened February 3, 2005).
★ The creation of Cascades Casino in the City of Langley (opened May 5, 2005). Note: Any reference to Langley Gateway Casino refers to Langley Cascades. Gateway is the name of the service provider.
The purpose of the study is to learn what, if any, economic and social costs and benefits emerge over time from the creation and operation of these four new venues. Its intent is to inform planning processes by the provincial government and other stakeholders. The study is being done in three waves:
★ Baseline (2004)
★ First Impact Measures (2005)
★ Final Report with Second Impact Measures (2006)
This document constitutes the first impact report. It compares present (2005) data with baseline social and economic data gathered prior to and during the opening of three of the four gaming venues (2004). The impact analysis in this report is limited because it is based on data collected shortly after the Casino opening dates. These delays were not anticipated at the start of the project, however the final report due in 2007 will have sufficient data to support impact analysis. The report is divided into two sections, Social Impacts and Economic Impacts.
