WAIT TIME: The wait time per region is a function of the number of eligible charitable organizations in the casino region applying for a casino event licence and the number of events per year in the region. The number of eligible organizations in a region can be adjusted by moving some regional boundaries periodically. Since there are no new casinos anticipated to open, the number of events per year is not likely to increase.
PROCEEDS PER EVENT: Proceeds from traditional casino events are pooled within a city or region for a three month period to ensure that:
- proceeds are distributed back to the communities or regions from which they came,
- charities holding casino events receive the same proceeds regardless of the day of week they hold their event in that quarter, and
- charities, having the same volunteer requirements, receive similar proceeds.
VOLUNTEERS: Charities are required to provide 25 volunteers for major casinos and 15 volunteers for minor casinos, in order to conduct and manage the casino event.
