REGINA — Saskatchewan’s First Nation and Métis organizations will receive $124.5 million in gaming revenue payments for the 2025-26 fiscal year, with a $17.1 million increase from the 2025-26 budget.
According to a press release, this increase is due to the strong performance of Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) casinos, SaskGaming properties and the PlayNow.com online platform.
The Ministry of Government Relations is responsible for distributing the funds according to the 2002 Gaming Framework Agreement and The Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan Corporation Act. These funds will be allocated to:
- The First Nations Trust, to distribute funding to First Nations in Saskatchewan to support community priorities identified by their leadership.
- Community Development Corporations, to distribute funding in and around the communities where the SIGA casinos are located.
- The Clarence Campeau Development Fund, to support economic development activities of Métis people and communities.
