- Lower Mainland Casino Impact Study_Final Report-2007
-
Casino style gambling began a rapid expansion across
Canada beginning around 1993 and now accounts for
a significant portion of all gambling revenue. However,
despite this expansion, the overall socioeconomic costs,
benefits, and impacts of casino gambling are unclear.
The planned opening of four new gaming venues in
the British Columbia Lower Mainland in late 2004 and
early 2005 created an opportunity to scientifically study
these impacts. Thus, the Gaming Policy and Enforcement
Branch of the British Columbia Ministry of Public Safety
and Solicitor General commissioned the present study in
June 2004 to investigate these impacts so as to assist in
its mandate to develop responsib gaming policies for
the people of British Columbia.
The principal focus of this study is on the three communities where these new venues were eventually located (City of Vancouver, City of Surrey, City of Langley), as well as the Township of Langley, which surrounds the City of Langley. The specific venues were: the Edgewater Casino in Vancouver, which opened in February 2005; the Hastings Racetrack in Vancouver, whose planned addition of slot machines has not yet occurred; the Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino in Surrey, which added additional slot machines and table games to its existing facility in November 2004; and the Cascades Casino in Langley, which opened in May 2005.
