Loto-Quebec is a very influential State casino company in online gambling industry in Canada. If in the past, access to online gambling was forbidden to its employees, the situation has changed a little over a month. In fact, Loto-Quebec published a memo on last June 22 which allowed its 4,500 employees in its casinos to bet on the online casino gambling site of the company. However, the regulation prohibits employees to gamble in the land based rooms and gaming salons of its casinos in Quebec. The decision of the State Company surprised its employees as it was never part of the union demands according to the President of the Employees Union Security, Riccardo Scopelleti. However, this is a privilege, because only employees of Loto-Quebec's casinos are allowed to play online. This is not the case in Ontario.

The France-based casino operator “Lucien Barrière group” is recently in the lookout for expansion project. It actually considers selling some of its gaming premises.
