Newfoundland Debates Online Poker Proposal by ALC
When the Atlantic Lottery was founded on Sept. 3, 1976, it offered just one game. Today players enjoy traditional lottery games and some of the newest Internet and social games available. Considered one of the leaders in gaming technology, design, and financial security ALC is going strong in the twenty first century. The governments of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island own the corporation and are still debating in the Newfoundland provincial legislature the practical aspects of the introduction of online gambling to the eastern provinces of Canada. Atlantic Lottery has more than 600 employees and that number will grow as the company expands it's offerings on the internet. When questioned about the Newfoundland's roll in the new proposal the Finance Minister Tom Marshall, read a carefully worded statement to the provincial members of parliament. He said, " The Atlantic Lottery Corporation, which is owned by the four Atlantic provinces, has indicated an interest in getting into online gambling because of the fact there are over 2,000 sites, 2,000 illegal sites that people can access right now, and they want to do it to offer more responsible gambling. Our government has not made any decision on whether we are going to support that initiative or not. That is something that we will consider at some time in the future." Using the consumer protection argument many political figures are all for the implementation of online poker and casinos run by the government firmly voicing that there is no other method of controlling the activity making it a safer place to place your bets and keeping underage gamblers off the web and out of trouble. The government seems to side step the fact that profit is made from gambling although they claim 100 % goes back into the community benefiting everyone locally. According to the Editorial in the Newfoundland's Weekend Telegram a potential $55 million from online gambling revenue is to be had if the proposal by the ALC is approved.
