On a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming, the CEO and Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, Dr. Karin Schnarr, joined Steve McAllister.
Schnarr, who replaced Tom Mungham as the AGCO’s leader in September 2023, talked about her decision to leave the world of academia and how her experiences within the Ontario government and as a board member with iGaming Ontario helped prepare her for the current role. McAllister also asked Schnarr about the challenges that come with overseeing an organization in charge of regulating gaming, alcohol, cannabis and horse racing for Canada’s largest province.
McAllister asked Schnarr about AGCO’s relationship with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) when it comes to land-based casinos in the province considering the Doug Ford government’s recent announcement for the Niagara Falls region. She also expanded on her comments from the Global Gaming Expo in September about the work the commission is doing to combat illegal gambling operators.
Other topics included the opening of Alberta’s regulated sports betting and igaming market and the potential for other provinces to follow Alberta and Ontario’s lead; the never-ending debate about advertising; and the ongoing evolution of the Ontario market.
