Updated on 04/02/2026

The model Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) shall be presenting and discussing in detail SIGA’s business model at this year’s Canada Gaming Summit. The 26th edition of this summit is happening between the 13th and 15th of June, happening at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

The discussion will be held between the Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Patricia Cook and the Vice President of Human Resources at SIGA, Desiree Gervais.

SIGA’S Business Model

Saskatchewan has long been setting a standard for Canada’s Gaming world, as for years, this province has set an example of a Business Model that is efficient, with a steep margin growth. The highlight of this model is that at the very base of it lies the humanist framework of giving back to the community.

The discussion happening will be part of the Learning and Growth conference, and during the event, the discussion will address how the 1995-established non-profit organization SIGA has founded a rare-to-find model that both generates revenue and shares that same revenue with the Saskatchewan community in community way-forward projects.

For almost three decades, SIGA has established seven land-based casinos in the area and has recently launched the online casino platform exclusive for the province PlayNow.com – where in 2022, the area opened its very first doors to online gaming.

Way-Forwards

In their discussion, SIGA will also discuss innovative way-forwards on how the company will both operate commercially as well as ensuring its position as the pillar of the Saskatchewan community.

Gambling Awareness: Staying in the Green

At CanadaCasino, we believe that the best way to enjoy online gaming is to stay informed and in control. In the Canadian market, gambling should always be viewed as a form of paid entertainment, much like a movie ticket or a hockey game—never as a source of income.

The Golden Rules of Responsible Play

To keep your experience positive, we recommend following the Lower-Risk Gambling Guidelines developed by the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction:

Set a Hard Budget: Only wager what you can afford to lose. Once that “entertainment fund” is gone, it is time to log off.
Time Management: Use your phone or casino tools to set session timers. It is easy to lose track of time when you’re on a roll.
Avoid “The Chase”: Trying to win back losses is the most common pitfall. Accept a loss as the “cost of play” and walk away.
Play Sober and Focused: Never gamble when you are stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or substances.

If you ever feel that gambling is no longer just entertainment, it’s important to know that help is available. Independent organizations like GambleAware provide free, confidential advice, tools, and support for anyone looking to understand their gambling habits better or seek professional help.
