Arrow International, the parent of Arrow Games (Canada) who are founding members of the CGAO, have released a new Digital (Educational) Platform to highlight and bring awareness to the numerous features their charitable/community gaming products have, both in terms of playability and security. They have ensured that accessibility is easy and available through Youtube.

Please see the information from Arrow International below. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Jim Mclean – Director, Gaming Solutions as indicated below.

Arrow Games Educational Videos

Arrow Games has begun to create educational videos with the goal of training charitable gaming operators and staff on how to play bingo event ticket games. Bingo event tickets combine the best features of bingo and pull tabs in one exciting game. In markets where legal, bingo event ticket games have been a significant driver of growth for the charitable gaming industry. To learn more about bingo event ticket games, please contact Jim McLean at Arrow Games. jmclean@arrowgames.com

1452 – Play-Smart Centres - Quarterly Review

Representatives from the CGAO, OLG & RG-C had the opportunity to meet in Toronto on Monday, the 26th February 2018, to go through the 3rd Quarter Results [Oct-Dec 2017].

It was encouraging to see that like-for-like touch-points [see table below] have continued the upward trend when you take out the enhanced event(s) numbers inflated due to the launch of the Play-Smart Brand during late 2016 through 2017.

October-December 2016 2017
Visitors 3,782 3,957
Interactions 5 6
Events 1,377* 209
Total 5,164 4,172
Reference:
  1. Data Point - RG-C
  2. Events 2016, rebranding & launching Play-Smart Centres*
  3. Likely to see the event numbers impacted until June 2018

The team took the time to review various other initiatives that are underway with our sector.

  1. Ambassador Program (Pilot) - Underway in Windsor
  2. Employee Survey - Early Summer
  3. Training - Underway and active
  4. Play-Smart Centres - Refresh of the Leaflets & Information Documents

There is a tremendous amount of work underway within the cGaming Centres that focuses on Play-Smart initiatives, I do want to highlight Mr. Tony Rosa in Windsor for supporting his team in a pilot project underway in his centres. This will bring real insight to the final development of a sector program that best fits our operational environments.
