The financial impact of the pandemic for SaskGaming wasn’t enough to detract from its success. That’s according to the annual report for the fiscal year that ended March 31st, which was released today (Wed).

SaskGaming President and CEO Susan Flett cites revenue at $114.1-million for the 2019-20 year as compared to $118.6-million in the previous year.
As of mid-March the Crown Corporation closed Casinos Regina and Moose Jaw, at the same time other casinos, businesses and organizations were closed to stop the spread of COVID-19, but this report only covers until the end of March.

Expenses were up around $200-thousand dollars in the last fiscal year.
The dividend to the Crown Investments Corporation was $13.3-million compared to $18-million in 2018-19.

Flett says the goal for the last fiscal year was to elevate the guest experience, which was accomplished through modernization and reinvestment in the casino properties, gaming technology and product upgrade.
