NEW OPERATING AGREEMENTS EXECUTED WITH BRITISH COLUMBIA LOTTERY CORPORATION

Great Canadian Gaming Corp. has signed new operational services agreements with the British Columbia Lottery Corp. (BCLC), in respect of its gaming facilities in British Columbia. The agreements are for terms of 20 years and include the provision for appropriate investments in the company's properties as well as the delivery of annual business plans. "I want to thank the BCLC for working with Great Canadian and other service providers to update and enhance the industry's operational agreements that originated in the late 1990s. These agreements ensure alignment between the BCLC and Great Canadian on business planning and capital and operational investments, and with these agreements executed, Great Canadian now has long-term operating contracts of 20 years or more for almost all of its Canadian properties," stated Rod Baker, president and chief executive officer of Great Canadian.

Under the agreements, operating commissions for regular limit table games will be 42.5 per cent and 77.5 per cent for poker. This is an increase from current commissions of 40 per cent and 75 per cent, respectively. For high-limit table games in private rooms, the commissions will remain at 40 per cent, and the commissions for slot machines will remain at 25 per cent. For bingo games, commissions will be 90 per cent on the first $10,000 and 45 per cent above $10,000 on weekly bingo revenue after prizes paid. This is an increase from a former tiered commission structure of 60 per cent/40 per cent/25 per cent.

Service providers will no longer have their commissions reduced by 0.6 per cent of gaming revenues for BCLC marketing costs or the reduction of 1 per cent of gross gaming revenue earned on all table games as reimbursement of table games' equipment.

In addition, service providers will earn a 5-per-cent facility investment commission (FIC), which replaces the 3-per-cent facility development commission (FDC) and 2-per-cent accelerated facility development commission (AFDC) programs. If investment commitments are not met, BCLC has the option to suspend payment of the FIC.

The agreements replace and supersede all existing casino operational services agreements of varying tenures. The agreements increase the company's accountability to BCLC through annual business planning requirements, compliance and standards accountability, while also creating strategic opportunities for greater alignment between the BCLC and the company and the long-term success of the company's properties.
