During the quarter, new gaming options were introduced, including table games in gaming lounges, an inter-establishment progressive jackpot in poker and an optional bet in blackjack.

Jean-Francois Bergeron, Loto-Québec President and CEO, stated, “Thanks to the sustained commitment of our teams, who are effectively leading several initiatives, we are continuing our momentum from last year, with results up after one quarter.

“Our digital platform continued to capture the market, with increasing results for both lottery and casino games. This success is based on a diversified, up-to-date and responsible offering.

“This start to the year is promising and I am convinced that we will continue to deliver results that we can be collectively proud of because they benefit all of Québec.”
