AML Practices at the River Rock Casino Resort

Great Canadian Gaming Corporation's Response to the Attorney General's AML Report

RICHMOND, BC, Sept. 22, 2017 /CNW/ - Today, Attorney General David Eby released a 2016 MNP report on anti-money laundering practices in BC casinos and announced a review to determine if there are issues pertaining to money laundering in Lower Mainland casinos.

Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (Great Canadian) strictly adheres to all regulatory requirements and maintains the highest standards of reporting at our properties. The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC), the Gaming Policy Enforcement Branch (GPEB), and FINTRAC have highly detailed and rigorous regulatory obligations that all Great Canadian facilities in BC adhere to and at all times we govern ourselves to meet or exceed those obligations, rules, and standards.

We welcome the Minister's review of the industry and our operations, and along with direction from GPEB and BCLC, we will adopt any further revisions to the regulatory structure should they direct BC casino operators to do so.

River Rock Casino Resort is owned and operated by Great Canadian Gaming Corporation.
